Today, our girls are not just learning karate techniques. They are learning to stand tall, stay calm under pressure, and believe in their own strength.

Three days a week, twelve girls from Swapnaloke Sabujangan Vidyalaya, Bonkanali, take part in Project Shakti, a self-defence and karate training initiative launched by Kenda Police Station under the guidance of karate instructor Mr. Dinesh Chandra Panda.

Their karate journey has only just begun. Every movement is still unsteady, their techniques are far from polished, and their practice is filled with mistakes. Yet, with every training session, they are growing a little stronger, a little more confident, and a little closer to mastering the art.

Every punch, every block, and every disciplined movement is building something far greater than physical strength. It is nurturing confidence, resilience, self-discipline, and the courage to face life's challenges with dignity.

Although our girls are still training in their regular clothes because we have not yet been able to provide the prescribed karate uniforms (Gi), their determination never wavers. They arrive at every class with enthusiasm, commitment, and a quiet determination that inspires us every day. Their journey reminds us that true strength is not defined by what we wear, but by the courage we carry within.

We are deeply grateful to Kenda Police Station and Mr. Dinesh Chandra Panda for creating this meaningful opportunity for children from remote rural communities.

We dream of the day when our girls will proudly wear their karate uniforms. Until that day arrives, they will continue to prove that confidence, courage, and determination are the strongest uniforms anyone can wear.

Today, they are learning karate. Tomorrow, they will walk through life with confidence, courage, and dignity.

Learning Through Play – Part II

At exactly 2:00 p.m., after their bath, our little classroom comes alive once again. This time, the lesson is English. But just as always, learning happens through play.

In today's video, you will see our young Sabor tribal children listening carefully and responding to simple action cues such as "Jumping!", "Running!", "Eating!" and "Sleeping!". As soon as they hear each word, they happily act it out together. The classroom fills with movement, laughter, and joyful participation.

For young children, learning becomes easier when words are connected with actions. Instead of memorising vocabulary from a book, they listen, move, and discover the meaning of each word through play. Without even realising it, they are building their vocabulary, improving their listening skills, and growing in confidence.

For us, education is not simply about completing lessons. It is about creating an environment where children enjoy learning and take part with curiosity and confidence. This video is another small glimpse into that joyful learning journey.

Learning Through Play – Part I

At exactly 2:00 p.m., after their bath, our little class begins. There are no uniforms and no pressure to memorise lessons. Instead, learning happens through conversation, storytelling, games, and joyful interaction.

We believe that every subject deserves its own way of being taught. So, we try to choose the method that best suits the lesson. Sometimes we use pictures and videos on a laptop screen; sometimes short stories; sometimes hands-on activities and simple experiments; sometimes drama, dance, or music; and sometimes games. The way we teach changes according to what each subject requires. As a result, during this one-hour session, the reluctance or boredom that many children naturally associate with studying gradually gives way to curiosity, participation, and the joy of learning. For them, this hour does not feel like "study" at all. It feels like another kind of play.

In today's video, you will see our young Sabor tribal children learning compound words. For example, Butter + Fly = Butterfly. By breaking familiar words apart and then putting them together again, they begin to understand how a new word is formed, all while learning through play.

For us, education is not simply about finishing the pages of a textbook. It is about creating an environment where children do not fear learning or try to avoid it, but instead engage with it naturally and willingly. This video offers a small glimpse into that learning journey.

25 July: United Through Football, Connected by Compassion — Part I

25 July was a truly special day for our children.

A group of Indians living in Singapore took part in a charity football match. On the very same day, they sponsored a football match for the children of Swapnaloke Sabujangan Vidyalaya – Free Residential School for Sabor Tribal Children, Bonkanali, Purulia.

Their kindness extended far beyond the game. They generously sponsored Glucon-D drinks, a special breakfast and lunch for all the children, making the occasion even more special. Though separated by thousands of kilometres, their thoughtfulness brought immense joy to the faces of our children.

Our heartfelt gratitude, love, and deepest respect to each one of them for reminding us that kindness knows no borders.
