Through Floods and Disasters We Keep Inspiring

Dear Supporter,

Punjab is going through a lot - floods, drugs, gang violence, and much more but also a war on the culture and language. We see more and more schools flooded with Hindi literature and wall art - which were Punjabi.

Above picture will give you an idea of what I am talking about. 

In such a situation, our work in Punjab brings a breath of fresh air reviving interest in the Punjabi language. Even though our work needs to be scaled massively to combat this cultural shift, every seed sown with love has the potential to become a tree, and that's what we are after. 

Here is a report from our field on a recent storytelling and Punjabi workshop session at the Government Primary School, Khudda, Patiala.

By Simranjeet Singh:

"We had an absolute blast during our storytelling session at the summer camp of Govt. Primary School, Khudda, Patiala. Our young campers, aged 3 to 7, were captivated as we dove into colorful illustrated books and embarked on magical adventures together.

The giggles and wide-eyed wonder filled the room as our enchanting tales brought characters and words to life. The children's faces lit up with excitement as they eagerly followed along, their imaginations taking flight with every page turn. We realized that storytelling is a delightful pastime and a valuable tool for nurturing creativity, empathy, and language skills. By immersing our little ones in the world of books, we foster a love for reading and ignite a lifelong passion for learning.

Illustrations added an extra layer of visual delight, enhancing the children's engagement and making the stories come alive before their very eyes. Children could not take their eyes off these books. We witnessed laughter, wonder, and eagerness to engage with the language, stories, and characters."

Thank you for supporting us in spreading the love of the language and land of Punjab.

Please support us by buying and gifting more of our books to all the children you know.
