Muktangan 2023

Muktangan is an organisation founded by Liz Mehta to improve the quality of education for children and train choolteachers. The organisation originally started as a small room with 40 children but has now expanded to teach over 1,000 children in Mumbai's municipal schools. 17 of us volunteered at the Muktangan school in Prabhadevi to conduct educational activities with children from the 3rd and 4th grades. The activities aim to provide learning in a simple manner, while also ensuring that the children enjoy the process of learning. Some of the recreational activities we conducted included physical education, yoga, and music, and we also helped them develop their speaking, writing and general knowledge skills through group games and quizzes. We made sure that the activities we conducted were enjoyable for the children and ourselves. Through volunteering at the school, we also learnt important life skills, such as cooperation, empathy and healthy communication.

At the CAS Fete 2023, we raised money for the school through our stall. The stall had two games; Knock The Can and Mini Basketball. We also sold mugs and artwork made by the students. All the proceeds from the games and merchandise were donated to the organisation. We had a lot of fun organising and contributing to the stall.
