Sharing this with a very full heart 🌼

This year has been one of growth, learning, uncertainty, beautiful partnerships, creative classrooms, community conversations, and many small moments that reminded us why this work matters.

What began as LifSkool has grown into something deeper with Olimalar Foundation — not just programmes, but spaces where children, families and communities can build confidence, resilience and support together.

Behind every number in this report is a real child, a classroom, a conversation, a teacher who made space, a volunteer who showed up, or a partner who believed in us.

None of this happens alone.

To everyone who has walked alongside us this year — thank you 💛

Our 2025–26 Annual Report is now live, and we’re so proud to finally share it.

Made with HeART ❤️

In April, we transformed into a celebration of children’s creativity, imagination and self-expression.

Over the past nine months, through our collaboration with , teachers from government schools across Kochi explored creative, SEL-based approaches in their classrooms — bringing these to over 260 students through regular art sessions.

This exhibition brought together the artwork, stories and imagination of those children, filling the space with drawings, patterns and colour. ✨

This was our very first art exhibition, and over the next few posts, we can’t wait to share more from the day, the people and the beautiful community that made it all possible. ❤️

On 22nd February, something beautiful happened in Fort Kochi. ✨

Locals and visitors from around the world stopped by Vasco da Gama Square to write kind messages for students before their exams. To remind every student that they are not alone.

Over 260 handwritten messages were collected. Here’s how they reached students:

💌 Each note was shared directly with students in our partner schools
🎬 The messages were turned into a video for teachers to show in classrooms
🗞️ The video was featured as a newspaper insert in Malayala Manorama
📍 The same insert was distributed to tuition centres across Kochi

A huge thank you to everyone who wrote a message, to the incredible voices who brought those words to life, and to every single person who showed up and made this possible.

You are the heart of this. 🙏

Remember how stressful exam season felt?
A few kind words can really mean a lot to a student right now.

This Sunday, we’re setting up a small space at Fort Kochi where anyone can come and write a short, encouraging message for students who are preparing for their exams.

We’ll be collecting these messages and turning them into a small digital booklet and simple posters to share with students before exams, through schools and community spaces.

If you’re around, come by, write a note, and help brighten a student’s day. 🤍

Graduated! ✨
So proud of these incredible students for completing their weekly life skills sessions with LifSkool and taking on our SPARK Challenge, a student-led experience where they noticed small problems around them, understood how they affect others, and took one small action to create change. 🌱

Big smiles. Brave steps. Beautiful growth. 💛

✨ Batch 2 starts next week!

My Mind Matters – Creative Challenge 2025 🌸

To mark World Mental Health Day 2025, our LifSkool students poured their hearts into art, poems and stories about what helps their minds feel calm, happy and strong. 💛

Each creation was filled with colour, care, and imagination, showing how creativity can bring peace, joy and hope to our minds. 🌿

Here’s a glimpse of their beautiful work from the My Mind Matters Creative Challenge! ✨

🌸 World Mental Health Day 2025 🌸

Today was really special. Hundreds of students across our partner schools took part in our Happy Mind activity - a few quiet minutes to pause, breathe, and take a pledge to care for their minds. 🌟

At SDPY Lower Primary School in Palluruthy, Anu () joined the morning assembly to guide the children, while teachers in our other partner schools led the same activity in their classrooms.

The feedback truly warmed our hearts. Our students said they felt lighter, and teachers shared how meaningful it was to slow down together.

These small moments matter. 💚 When we teach children to care for their minds, we’re giving them tools for life.

A heartfelt thank you to every school joining us in making mental health a priority for our children. 🌸

(Also… this post took me all day to put together, so even though it’s already the 4th in India, let’s still call it an anniversary post 😂)
