Ashram Holds Second Camp for Tsunami
Kids
20 – 24 May 2005 — Amritapuri
A second educational camp for tsunami-affected
children was held at the Ashram, this time for 6,000 kids from the neighbouring district of Alappuzha .
 |
The children were given free classes in spoken
English and in yoga. They also had many classes
with the swamis and, of course, question-and-answer
sessions with Amma.
The idea behind the camp was to give the children
something positive towards which they can redirect
their minds during their summer holiday, thereby helping
them to get over the mental shock created by the tsunami. |
Yoga acharyas from the Patanjali Yoga Vidya Peetham
and English teachers from the Amrita Educational Institutions
taught the classes.
