June at Jeevanshala was a vibrant month of learning that moved seamlessly between classrooms, playgrounds, trees, and community spaces. The month opened with children diving into hands-on activities that blended creativity with curiosity. Children participated in a bunch of things apart from academics from cleanliness drives and waste-to-art projects to counting pebbles under trees and learning English in the open air. Art, colour, and imagination flowed freely as children painted their favourite things and explored history through Bharat Ek Khoj.
A total of 15 new children joined Jeevanshala to start a new session and it was a journey to gently push them to open up and engage in the Jeevanshala way of learning. Students, young and old, learnt languages through playful methods, while teacher-learners prepared new entrants to confidently stage short plays on friendship, education, and sports for their saturday workshop. One of the most memorable learning moments came when children climbed mango trees, plucked raw mangoes, and turned them into tangy pickles — a lesson in teamwork and learning beyond textbooks.
The month was also marked by joyful milestones: Students received new shoes which brought them big smiles, they learnt maths through games and poems, and colours came alive through creative activities. Storytelling flourished after they watched the Oscar-winning film Flow, as part of one of their Sunday binge inspiring children to write and share their own imaginative stories.
Physical movement and science went hand in hand, with mornings filled with sports, seed-sprouting experiments, geography quizzes, and hands-on science lessons. The month culminated in powerful nukkad nataks on social and environmental issues, alongside experiments on refraction, solar energy, and magnetism — reinforcing Jeevanshala’s belief that learning is most meaningful when it is active, collective, and rooted in real life.
