What if learning about mental well-being began with a game, a song, a drawing, or simply being heard? 💙
For two beautiful days, that's exactly what happened.
On 1st & 2nd August, Monerjyoti Foundation conducted "Let's Learn & Play", a Mental Health Awareness Programme at Shishu Bhavan, Babanpur, Palta.
We were honoured to be joined by Mrs. Swagata Dutta and Mr. Sukanta Kumar Mitra, whose thoughtful conversations reminded every child that their voice matters, their emotions matter, and their unique talents deserve to be celebrated.
The days unfolded with music, dance, storytelling, games, role-play, creative activities, joyful rounds of "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes," and plenty of laughter. Through play and simple real-life scenarios, children explored emotions, built confidence, expressed themselves freely, and discovered the joy of learning together.
But our favourite moments weren't on the schedule.
They were the handmade drawings carefully placed in our hands, the little gifts created with love, the children proudly sharing their talents, the friendships formed, and the smiles that needed no words.
Those are the moments we'll carry with us.
To the wonderful children of Shishu Bhavan, thank you for trusting us with your stories, your creativity, and your joy. To our respected speakers, the staff, volunteers, and everyone who made this possible—thank you for helping create a space where every child felt seen, heard, and encouraged.
This may have been a two-day programme, but the memories—and the impact—will stay with us for much longer.
We already look forward to coming back. 🌼
🤍 If you believe every child deserves a safe space to learn, play, express themselves, and simply be a child, save this post, share it, and help us spread the message.
