Twenty three thousand children attended a five day Bal Chetna Shibir organized simultaneously in 92 municipal corporation villages of Ahmadabad. More than 50 teachers and 200 volunteers participated in conducting these shibirs.
The kids in these villages grow up in an environment where at a very young age itself they are taught to fend for their families. While taking up the adult responsibilities they also begin to stumble upon the stresses that normally an adult faces. There are umpteen cases in the news today of depression among children as young as 8 years old. It is not surprising that the suicide rates have gone up in the age group of 10 to 15 years.
The Art of Living Bal chetna shibir is a dynamic program that helps them get them back to their childhood while equipping them with the right tools to handle their responsibilities and stress in life. With the help of pranayama and meditation the course helped them get rid of their negative emotions. Every child opened up to the individual and group processes, the teachers leading those sessions witnessed their participation ecstatically.
