Drawing session for the children at our Child Care Centre

Children don’t always have the words to express how they’re feeling. Drawing gives children another way to communicate their emotions and thoughts. Along with expressing their emotions, it gives children the opportunity to draw from their imagination and show it to their friends and family. Drawing helps in the development of the following. Motor Skills, Creativity, Cognitive Development, Planning Skills, Eye-Hand Coordination, Visual Perception, Attention Span, and Healthy Emotional Release and Expression.

On the 7th and 8th of June 2023, the MSW interns from St. Alberts College, Kerelatook a drawing session for the evening school children at Sishubhavan play school, Muthialpet. The children were very excited to learn to draw different images and they participated with enthusiasm. The session provided the interns with an opportunity to observe and interact with children.

First aid in schools is especially helpful as children often get into accidents that can need swift care in order to prevent things from escalating.
