Sanskar Shivir – April 2018-Testimonials

Sanskar Shivir was one of the most beautiful events for me since it gave me an opportunity to teach dance to those innocent souls, and the best part was they really wanted to learn. Their eagerness was clearly seen in their eyes and smiling face, those mornings were the best mornings of my life because it was full of energy and happiness. Thanks to Vande Mataram foundation for such a beautiful experience. Looking forward for more such amazing events.

Sanskar shibir totally gave those students a new life , inculcating values and principles into them and making them realise about their talents .
Even i came to know accross some of my wrongs and also got to learn many more things be it values , be it photography , apart from that this event made me think about the leaders who did a great job. Handling those kids was a hell of a job

The recent success in Sanskar Shivir was one of many achievements of the entire team. Being able to witness all the kids enjoying each and every session with discipline and full attention was mesmerizing. Those may not have all the luxuries in life but they have the luxury of pure heart and the way they express their love by helping every one of us was showing it.
I am looking forward to be a part of many more such sessions.
Thank you Vande Mataram foundation

Being part of kids’ creative, innovative and imaginative world, which is full of life is one of the most joyous feeling you get to experience. My interaction with the kids which involves delving into their perspectives, ideas, wishes and their whole little world has led me to rethink that anything is possible. It made me a child again. I’ve shared so many good experiences with the volunteers, team and the kids as part of Sanskar Shivir. It feels good to be part of VMF and its contribution towards making this world a happier place by fulfilling kid’s wishes.

This journey with VMF has been incredible and insightful since day one.
I couldn’t have asked for anything more than sharing little moments which brought smile on the faces of little ones who are very promising, talented and without any doubt inspiring. I thank VMF for giving me this opportunity

Before coming down to Sanskar Shivir, I have shared many words with Nikitesh. First I thought that handling the kids will be an easy task but after meeting them, I got to know that I have things to learn from you guys and those kids. This time, it was just a visit from my end but for next time I would love to be a part of the whole event like this.

I attended this Shivir for the first time and luckily I was selected as a mentor. I got so attached with them from day 1 that being away from them was the most difficult thing for me. I’m really thankful to VMF that they gave me the most beautiful moments of my life. I can say the days of Shivir were the golden days of my life as all I got was lots of love, happiness, joy, innocence and some best memories to cherish

Sanskar Shivir 2018 by Vande Mataram Foundation is a great step towards quality education and broader lifestyle and that's what education should be, the art of orientation. I have observed is educators should devise the simplest and most effective methods of turning minds around. These 3 Days of Shivir made my heart go Gaga. Children are the purest soul on planet alive. They are transparent as water and Flexible as the clay. So, I love my part in these sculpturing of new reforms.
I have learnt a very simple thing in this Shivir is instead of focusing on the world's problems; give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education and peace. So, come and let us pass a leisure hour in storytelling, and our story shall be the education of our heroes.
Hail, Life.

I had an amazing experience; it was a complete stress buster! Getting up early in the morning, meeting all those kids with the enthusiastic look in their eyes that they are going to experience something new today was simply amazing. It was refreshing I remembered the days when I used to be a kid. I know managing kids is not an easy task. They are free souls and that's their beauty!!
The kids at the school were super talented, they need proper guidance and care and rest is set. It was a great initiative taken by Vande Mataram Foundation and I am really happy to be a part of VMF.

It is a great initiative to help those who really need us. My time and efforts couldn't have been better utilised anywhere else. These kids were way more talented and enthusiastic than the others I have seen till now. Good grasping ability and quick learners. They were creative as well as possessing leadership skills. All they needed was a direction, someone who would give them guidance and they will do wonders. More than teaching, I learnt. I learnt to be free, to keep smiling, to stay grounded, to be humble and kind to everyone, to respect everyone and to see things as they are.
