Personal toys are being used as the instrument to complement this objective. Personal toys are being used as the instrument to complement this objective through collaborative, creative and learning events on-site. Khelna Bank runs the programme in two phases:
1. Khelna Sharing Schools: the target schools are chosen from a stable socio-economic background.
2. Khelna Recipient Schools: the target sc
hools are chosen from low socio-economic background. A week-long activation is conducted at a school (Khelna Sharing Schools) where the students are engaged in various team games such as: Football, Handball, Cricket, Table Tennis, Badminton and 16x13 feet Snakes and Ladders (where students are the moving pieces themselves). The team games help create bonding between children in a more affectionate manner that in term increases their propensity to share and care for others. During the activation period, students share their loved toys with their less fortunate friends. After the collection program, toys shared by the students are sorted and categorized according to age and usable condition, which is subsequently washed, dried and sanitized. Toys are distributed among less fortunate school children of different schools who are missing out on the multifarious benefits of toys. The toys are distributed through various fun and productive participatory events such as art, poem, drama, quiz, singing, dancing competition and etc. A Khelna Library is built in the school (Khelna Recipient Schools) premise that contains recreational, sports and educational toys. The establishment of a Khelna Bank motivates student enrollment and retention while also allowing schools to have sports equipment for students and allowing students to play at school during school hours. At the end of the program, both the khelna sharing school and the khelna recipient school are given acknowledgement due to their participation and support to Khelna Bank and becoming a Khelna Bank School member.
