In this manner their ideas can be understood by people. This was done understanding the present scenario of the kids in their home.

The second session was on drawing their most likely concept. This was to ignite their inner artist and to elevate their imagination. The person with good imagination can develop more ideas in the future.

As the sessions progressed, the students although of varying age group began to feel more comfortable and mingled well. A little of Science and Mathematics was brought into the camp to make it more interesting. As such, the students would have a better understanding of the world around them. Refreshments were provided for the students during the first half. Few ideas were given to the students to work on once they get back home. The Day-One was brought to a conclusion on a happy note.
