Nigeria – educational field trip to historical library centre

 As you are aware at CRIMMD, we run among many others a 'Free Skill Acquisition Center'. for the economic emancipation of women to be self reliant. We have been creating skilled women that are now less depended on their husbands all of the times, women that widowhood is no more the end of their life, women that are forging ahead in good and bad times. I believe the world can only move forward through the contribution of women. On this occasion it was a mixed group who benefited from historical workshops, artefacts displays and home cooking demonstrations.

Educational Materials Support to Primary School Girls Adjacent to the Ruvu Forest Reserve

Mdlandizi, Tanzania

This is the second implementation phase report following motivation by the previously completed education material support program among primary schools adjacent to the Ruvu Forest Reserve. The program focused on to address the challenges of schoolgirls from poor and deprived families struggling attending classes as compared to boys.

In this second phase, the project provided learning materials support to girls’ pupils in the two project schools namely Mpera and Mumbi. The aim was to increase attendance and reduce absenteeism among primary school girls in selected schools. The project noted a satisfactory increase in the numbers of girls completing Class VII during the end of school year 2025 compared to the year 2024. In Mumbi, we recorded a 30% increase in girls completion rate (78%) compared to (48%) in 2024. Similarly, in the other project school, Mpera, 87% completed primary school compared to 48% during the previous year, a 39% increase.

“I thank very much, the project leader Dorah Mbogo and team, and mostly important our donors, David Tyler Trust, for supporting this gathering, with the aim of strengthening learning access and support to our children, both girls and boys. I request that you continue with this good work you are doing of mobilizing resources and support to these schools, in order to address other existing challenges including poor learning infrastructures and resources such as computers, water and sanitation.”

It's the examination season at the School of Happiness!-- We are grateful to Apollo Spectra Hospital, Chirag Enclave, Delhi for organizing a special session on Managing Stress and Mental Health by Dr Jyoti Mishra, Psychologist. 

Our offsite excursion to Aurovalley Ashram, Uttarakhand with our Senior School students of the School of Happiness.

Through the 4 day unique Ashram Life Experience, the goal was to give our children an opportunity to step away from chaos and immerse themselves in a structured, serene and spiritually enriching lifestyle that combines meditation, yoga, mindful routines, spiritual learning and community living to holistically nurture the mind, body and soul.

Their day began at 6am with meditation, followed by yoga, eating breakfast and all meals mindfully in silence, shram daan, gaushala + unidiversity visit and spending time with Swami ji. They also participated in outdoor activities like Ganga snaan and Ganga Arati at Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh

It was a life changing and fulfilling experience for the children and they have returned with many learnings that they wish to apply in their day to day lives.
