We would like to share our unique International Mud Day and Father’s Day Celebration, we called it…‘Pappa ko Chipko’

1. Our unique International
Mud Day and Father’s Day
Celebration, we called it…
‘Pappa ko Chipko’
Taking you through the
journey of how
‘Pappa Ko Chipko’
came into evolution
Page 1

2. We witnessed that a lot of
Pappa’s were not spending
enough time with their
babies

3. It was now
‘Research Time’

4. We sent out a questionnaire to Pappa’s to
know, how much time they are spending
with their babies
Page 4

5. We did not leave it at that. It was time
to validate and get a reliable data. So,
we sent a questionnaire to Mummies to
cross-check.

6. Further, we got the little ones to do the
same, by drawing the time spent with
their daddies.

7. The results and drawing, got us to
realize, that Pappa’s were deviating and
are not spending enough time with their
babies.

12. Not only were they deviating, they
were not spending enough time with
their babies. And the little time spent,
was all indoors.
The drawings of our little kids, helped
us find that out….

closer ties with Pappa.
