Developing confidence is an
important part of growing up. We

challenging activities such as

Commando Crossing, Crossing
The Wall, Rappelling etc. Besides
confidence, they also enhance
their self-esteem, self-belief and
self-worth. These activities make
children discover their hidden
strengths.

8. Rural Exposure & Community Services
An exposure to rural life
makes children aware of
the peculiar environment
in which their village-
counterparts live in. The
children take a bullock card
ride to the village and are
shown a well, visit a school,
indulge in community
work, see various aspects of
village life and then sit on
the floor to enjoy a village –
lunch.
