Background/Project: Children’s Development is one of the major programs at VIN’s Integrated Community Development Approach. The Goal of the Children’s development program is to protect the rights of all children by providing them access to basic quality education, developing their life skills (creativity, leadership etc.) & providing access to health & hygiene services. VIN has different projects under children’s development program such as Children’s Clubs (CC), Early Childhood Development (ECD), School Attendance (Teacher Development, Parenting Education, School Infrastructure Development, and Child Sponsorship) and Child Care.
Even in these days in Nepal, schools are focused mainly on examination and are not doing enough to develop life skills like creativity and leadership for children. Teachers only focus on reading and writing – rote learning. Creativity and individual differences in children are not explored. Due to the busy work schedule of parents, most of the children do not have an opportunity to socialize and be creative. That’s the reason why, this types of camps are so essential to provide life skills development opportunities to children aged between 6-14 years old. We work only with disadvantaged communities as these families cannot afford to take their children to holidays during their Winter & Summer breaks. Children don’t have a proper structure and environment at home, or a school to develop their innate talents. Children's camp (at winter and summer breaks) is one of the best places to explore their innate talents such as creativity and leadership. In this work camp, national & international volunteers will facilitate different types of fun and creative activities for the children where VIN works.
Children’s Winter Camp:
The schools in Nepal are closed for 15 days in winter. VIN has developed this work camp to provide opportunity for the children to utilize their free time. The main focus is to improve their talent & creativity for their overall development such as physical, mental & socio-emotional.
The concept of winter camps/ summer camps is less popular in Nepal. Parents in the city areas are willing to send their children in the camps by paying high participation fee but on the other hand parents in the village cannot afford for children’s camp fees.
Objectives:
To provide unique opportunities for overall development (social, emotional, physical, mental, creativity) & provide fun-time for children aged between 6 and 14 years by utilizing their vacation period. To promote the friendship, understanding and solidarity among local young volunteers and cross-national volunteers. To provide an opportunity to understand and appreciate the Nepalese culture and traditions via cultural immersion.
Work / Activities: The volunteers will conduct children's camp to promote their innate talents & creativity for their overall physical, mental, social & emotional development. During the children’s camp volunteers will prepare sessions and take classes on following topics:
-Physical exercise, various indoor and outdoor games
-Team Building, group work
-Drawing, colouring & painting
-Art , Craft & Origami, Singing, dancing, music, drama
-Hiking
-Teaching language, etc.
1. Tarakeshwor community: Tarakeshwor municipality lies on Kathmandu District. It is around 10-15 km from main ring road to Balaju, Kathmandu covered with hills, fields and woods. VIN’s programs are in the Jitpur phedi community/Tarekeshwor municipality of Kathmandu District. From first studies, it was seen that despite being close to the capital of the country the education level and the living standards of the people are very low. So by helping with formal schooling, and organizing
different non formal programs and activities, VIN aims to raise the living standard of the people. There are mixed castes within the communities. Dalit (otherwise known as ‘untouchables’) and Balami (a mongoloid tribe) are particularly marginalized. The community area is not very clean due to the lack of hygiene awareness and schools are not backed with basic facilities, such as toilets, drinking water and teaching resources. The schools lacks resources and trained teachers.
2. Okharpauwa community: It is in Nuwakot District, which is 17 km from Kathmandu with fields, woods and hills. Okharpauwa is a Village Development Committee of Nuwakot District. Nuwakot district is the neighbour district of Kathmandu. VIN started its project in Okharpauwa from the mid of 2014. Okharpauwa is 17 km far from Kathmandu main city. There are public buses available but it’s difficult to go in the village. The population is about 9000 and there are more than 1800 households in this VDC. In this VDC, much marginalized wards are 1, 4, 5 and 9. There are 3 higher secondary schools, 1 secondary schools and 4 primary schools. There is one private school and only one health post in this VDC. Health and sanitation condition is very poor, more than 60% HHs do not have toilets. It is scattered community and not so easily accessible.
