Children’s winter camp is a 5 days camp that gives the opportunities for the children to explore their creativity and to socialize. Education in Nepal from primary to university only follows the traditional style education system children mostly focus on reading, writing and listening and their creativity is not explored .This camp welcomed around 50 to 176 children’s from 6 to 14 years old . It is run by national and International volunteers of VIN. So transactions can be easily made. Some of the children can have English conversation, and most of them know a few words.
The volunteers will provide different types of fun and creativity activities such as singing, dancing, painting, origami, games, and also some English and Korean lesson and hygiene tips. It is nice to see all the ideas shared by the international volunteers. The children are very interested in everything you can tell that they like to learn new things and they love meeting new people and learn about other countries. This camp provided great opportunities for the children to have some time during their vacation, but also to improve their social, mental and creative development, by doing group activities the children can make friends and learn about different new things, it also allows the children to explore their creativity and new learning methods. Children winter camp is a week full of smiles, fun for the children as well as for all the volunteers.
