Hundreds of children live in shelter homes where sometimes even basic necessities are seen as a privilege. Having spent most of their time in such institutions, these children have low self-confidence and very few social skills.
Nakshatra aims to provide a platform for the children to ‘Dream’, exhibit their talents, get competitive exposure, ‘Discover’ their potential, 'Dazzle’ in an atmosphere of healthy competition and enrich themselves with much needed perspective about their inherent potentials; thus, we contribute to their holistic development through the promotion of extra-curricular activities.
Nakshatra has an array of competitive activities to ensure that children of all age groups from children’s homes participate and gain immensely from competing against their peers.
Fifty different competitions in arts – including flower arrangement, pot painting, clay modelling, elocution, dance and song - and athletic and sporting competitions like sprint, high jump, shot put, volley ball and chess are conducted to facilitate maximum talent discovery.
The event is peppered with entertainment, games, workshops and a science exhibition to keep the children busy even while they were not competing.
In Nakshatra’s first year, approximately 800 children from over 25 orphanages of one city participated. In 2013, Nakshatra’s fifth edition the number has risen to over 5,800 children from 110 orphanages of five cities.
At this year’s festival we expect at least 6,500 children to participate from different orphanages in Chennai, Tiruchirapalli, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi.
You can sponsor an enriching experience for a child from a shelter home, for as little as Rs.250!
