We are excited to share the incredible impact of the camp organized by Kiran Niketan Social Centre (under the Goa Jesuit Province) on April 4, 2023. This camp brought together 54 migrant children from underprivileged families in Zuarinagar, Goa, providing them with a truly life-changing experience.

Our main goal for the camp was to give these children a unique and engaging opportunity to explore their creativity and express themselves through cultural activities. We also aimed to foster new connections among the participants while educating them about internet safety and the importance of making healthy food choices. Ultimately, our objective was to shape their characters and make a positive impact on their lives.

Laximi Lamani, one of our students who had participated in previous sessions, shared her perspective on the camp: “Returning to Kiran Niketan Social Centre filled me with joy. The summer camp provided me with valuable lessons that helped me develop my inner strength and skills. I learned about the dangers of mass media and cybercrimes, as well as the importance of self-acceptance and healthy eating. I’m genuinely thankful for this amazing opportunity.”

Geeta, another student, expressed similar sentiments, emphasizing the camp’s role in personal growth. She was thrilled to showcase her leadership skills, organize games for fellow participants, and overcome her fear of being on stage. The discussions on healthy lifestyles, responsible internet use, and fraud awareness had a profound impact on her. Furthermore, the group activities taught her the value of teamwork, creating cherished memories.
