The third Children’s Festival- ‘Majja’ organised by Abhinav Creationz fetched enormous response. A total of 75 children participated in this festival which saw children learning poetry, art, craft, science etc in an innovative manner. The festival was held at Porvorim and Margao.

“The whole intention of the festival was to lessen the burden of the children and engage them in activities in playful manner”, said Anwesha Singbal of Abhinav Creationz. “I have seen summer camps becoming another burden for children. We wanted to refrain from doing so”, she further added.

“We are overwhelmed by the response we got. The response is increasing every year”, said Amol Kamat of Abhinav Creationz.

“In modern times when kids spend more time with gadgets, the opportunities for experiential learning are shrinking. “Well organised summer camps like Majja allow kids to get out of the virtual world and to experience the real world through joyful collective learning”, said a parent whose child has been consistently attending Majja for last two years.

Children were taken for an outing on the last day that brought them closer to nature. They were also awarded certificates.

Children learnt several important concepts of science through the means of experiment. Rajashree Thakur Gaunekar and Somu Rao guided them in this field while Ratnamala Divkar taught poetry and Tanvi Kamat Bambolkar taught theatre to children. Kalanand Bambolkar and Satyam Acharya guided them in drawing while Patricia Brito Rodrigues and Anwesha Singbal engaged them in storytelling. Anishka Palekar and Sayali Sawant Talaulikar taught children craft and narrated stories to them. Isha Kurade and Riya Prabhudesai engaged them in dance. Savita Talkatnal, Ciana Pires Cardozo and Devika Sardesai also assisted in making this festival a huge success.
