When a student feels safe and supported, they are truly ready to be able to learn.

On March 28th 2023, Avantika Kampani from team Helpout shared a game she developed with the students of Ladiwali.

The game in Marathi allowed the children to dig deep and really share their feelings.

The silly time cards in the game allowed them to have fun and ensured they felt comfortable and safe to express themselves fully.

Towards the end of the afternoon even the teachers joined in and meaningful bonds were forged.

Self awareness, self control and interpersonal skills equip us to cope with everyday challenges. Moreover the benefit is felt both socially and academically leading to healthier life choices.

It was heartening to know that our friends at the school will continue to use this game and keep Checking In on themselves and each other keeping the classroom more vibrant!
