Rules of fair play and aim to achieve the success teach about
constructive participation in society.
It also develops tolerance towards others.

around schools)

-Developmentally appropriate play programs and help
children to improve in verbal, intellectual, physical, social
and emotional behaviour.
-An environment to learn through classrooms and sports to
enhance the necessary life skills to becoming well-rounded
citizens
Not all children in the world have access to early childhood
education or similar programs.
Many Charity organizations are working to help such
deprived children access to ECE or appropriate programs.
ONEXONE is one of them.
