How we will utilise these books

Atisa’ as the word imbibe is a Tibetan reference to the word ‘peace’ which when added with the playway method, helps children from disadvantaged communities overcome differences to create peaceful communities. We believe that by using ‘play’ children tend to learn more about themselves and their communities and become responsible for their own future. Everyone who walks in is encouraged to think, engage, express themselves and take some learning back home with them. Engagement of children is done three to four times a week, after school hours through activities such as reading, story telling, sports, arts and craft, dancing, singing, map reading, team building and problem solving games. We are happy to see the positive response to reading sessions, the curiosity that is generated among the children and also the fear of language is overcome all through the joys of reading. Children feel inspired, laugh, play, unleash their imagination, reach distant lands all while they read their books We hope to sustain and enhance this curiosity and interest by establishing a library in the village. This will help reach not just our 50 children but also any other child from the village who wishes to read a book or just sit and flip through it pages seeing illustrations. Also to further build the habit of reading we will like to start a book lending program, reading clubs once we have adequate books. Life we believe is a lifelong learning experience and books can help us truly grow and overcome our limitations
