🌞 Gehlore Community Summer Camp 2026 | Gaya 🌞

For five exciting days, children and adolescent girls from 11 community centers across Gehlore and Tetar Panchayat, Gaya came together for a joyful journey of learning, leadership, and growth.

Through leadership activities, public speaking sessions, reading circles, teamwork challenges, treasure hunts, gender equality discussions, and sports competitions, participants explored new skills, built confidence, and formed meaningful friendships in a safe and engaging environment.

The camp encouraged children to strengthen their communication and leadership abilities, develop a love for reading, understand the importance of equality, and experience the power of collaborative learning beyond the classroom.

✨ Learning. Leadership. Friendship. Growth. ✨

📚✨ Reflections from Our First Webinar on Children’s Libraries ✨📚

On 13 May 2026, Karunodaya Foundation successfully conducted its first webinar on Children’s Libraries — bringing together educators who are transforming reading spaces into joyful learning environments for children. 🌱

🎥 You can watch the full session here:
▶️ https://www.youtube.com/

Here’s what our speakers shared during the webinar:

🗣️ Virendra Kumar — Principal, M.S. Dihuri*
“A book is not just something to know — it is something to live. We wanted children to see the library as their own space, not just a room.”

🗣️ *Jitendra Kumar — Principal, K.M.S. Chandauti*
“We used the ‘Khichdi’ method — mixing reading and teaching together. When learning feels natural, children come back on their own.”

🗣️ *Suchita Kumari — Teacher, M.S. Amwaan*
“Stories like Panchatantra and Tenali Ram brought the library alive. Children started choosing books themselves — that was the real change.”

🗣️ Sudha Singh — Head Teacher, P.S. Delha*
“We brought poem books into the library and let children take books home. A library should not just stay in school — it should travel with the child.”

💙 This is just the beginning.
We plan to organize these webinars every quarter — bringing together teachers, principals, library experts, and supporters to continue conversations around children, reading, and libraries.

🎉 Exciting News — Our First Webinar is Here!
We are so excited to share that we are adding something really special to our kits — a webinar! And this is just the beginning. We plan to bring these to you every quarter, with teachers, principals, library experts, and sometimes even funders — all talking about the one thing that matters most: libraries, reading, and children's literature.
Our very first one is coming up on 13 May, and we would love for you to be part of it.

Four of our teachers and principals will join us on Zoom to talk about something they truly care about — their school libraries and the children who use them.
They will share what they tried, what worked, what didn't, and how slowly — children who never picked up a book — started loving reading.
It is just one hour. And we promise it will be worth your time.

📅 Date: Wednesday, 13 May 2026 ⏱️ Duration: 1 Hour 💻 Platform: Zoom 🔗 Link: Will be shared soon

🎤 Our Speakers:
Virendra Kumar — Principal
Jitendra Kumar — Principal
Suchita Kumari — Teacher
Sudha Kumari — Head Teacher

Do join us. And if you know a teacher or principal who would find this useful, please pass it on.
See you on 13 May 2026! 📚
