Children Toy Foundation, seeking views and guidance from educationists and experts on CSR policy of Government to express their views and guidance on their our work relating to CSR programmes can be undertaken by cos-public or private.
In a way ours is a non formal educational project which emphases on Right of the child to play and recreation -uno’s article 31.
We want to share following information with you
A social welfare system is a network of programs created to assist a country’s citizens at various stages of their lives. The system usually arises from the efforts of a government or organizations to provide social welfare. It’s an ongoing process meant to care for the specific needs of society.
In Children Toy Foundation C=Creative, T=Time and F=Fun. At Foundation children have creative time & fun.
Our aim is to educate children beyond reading and writing, so as to help them acquire real skills and develop positive attitudes in their life to instil a sense of pride in them and further boost their confidence. For this we use the potential force of toys and games to mould the character and temperament of the young ones and hone their Latent talents.
Games give training in life skills such as decision making, time management, negotiation, critical thinking and leadership
HOW WE LINK OUR ACTIVITIES TO EDUCATION
Khelvigyan is edutainment-education and entertainment.
Einstein said” True sign of education is not knowledge but imagination”
Late FRM President Shri Abdul Kalam said” My message especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems.
Above messages are relevant to our work and play with mind games develop above virtues in children who will be our future.
For age group 3 to 6-6.5 we use all educative, developmental games like –Things that go together, what is missing, colour and shapes, animals their homes, and what they eat, story jigsaw puzzles etc
For age groups 6-6.5+ all the brain games are used to develop creative thinking, strategic thinking enhancing intelligence. Learning to tackle different situations on the game board will be quite useful to think of all aspects of different situations of his life later on.
We have helped and guided to set up 350 toy/game libraries pan India.Through our mobile and static khelvigyan projects directly 9000+ children benefit in municipal/jilla parishad schools,villages and many more through existing network of toy/game libraries.
Our question is how in a big way Companies/Government/donors can support our programmes so that we can reach out to tribal areas,villages,orphanages and other places where children miss basic play with mind and educational games?
Children in orphanages we wanted to serve but one co denied to support that providing them these facility even if we look after the progress will not fall under CSR activites?
