At Shanti Bhavan, learning goes beyond textbooks! This week, Poovarasan and Simon are working on improving their photography skills, guided by a professional photographer. From academics to extracurriculars, we expose our students to a world of skills. Want to see the world through their eyes? Let us know in the comments if you'd like to see their photos! #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #Learning #PhotographySkills #HandsOnLearning #SnapShot

Auntie Bivha showed our kids how to make spinwheels using leaves from coconut trees. Our aunties often teach the children to create things from natural materials, just like they did as kids. Activities like this help our students look at everyday objects differently and discover the fun in simple things! #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #Learning #NatureCrafts #CreativeKids #HandsOnLearning

Kindergarteners at Shanti Bhavan 2 are learning fast! They arrived just over ten days ago, and they’re already feeling right at home in the classroom. Playing with puzzles is a favorite for Sahastra—just look at the excitement identifying the pieces in English! We’re so proud of how quickly the new students are settling in and embracing their new learning environment. Go, Sahastra, go! 🚀 #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #ClassroomFun #PuzzlePlay

Big news! Bhargavi and Yogesh flew to Japan last week for a two-week summer camp—their first trip abroad! At Shanti Bhavan, they watched older peers seize amazing opportunities, and now it’s their turn! Yogesh's father, a poultry farmer, never imagined his son would travel outside India. Now, at 14, Yogesh and Bhargavi will meet students from around the world, build leadership skills, and share their stories. Their classmates are excited to hear all about their adventure when they return. We’re so proud of you both! Safe travels and see you soon! #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #GlobalExplorers #YouthLeadership #SummerCamp

Our preschoolers might not know all the rules, but that doesn’t stop them from being the best cheerleaders 😂! Watching the older boys play soccer, they’re cheering with all their might—pure joy and enthusiasm! Wouldn't you want a squad of preschoolers cheering you on? #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #Learning #socialimpact #SoccerFun

We got our hands dirty on the farm, helping with weeding and learning valuable lessons along the way! At Shanti Bhavan, we’re proud of our organic farm that feeds the entire school with nutritious, home-grown produce. Just like at Shanti Bhavan 1, we now have a thriving farm at Shanti Bhavan 2! Understanding where our food comes from and how it’s grown is essential for young people. By working on the farm, our students gain hands-on experience in sustainability and responsibility. They get to see firsthand the hard work and dedication that goes into producing the food that nourishes us all. #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #Learning #socialimpact #OrganicFarming #FarmToTable #YouthEducation #SustainableLiving

At Shanti Bhavan, we believe in the power of sharing knowledge and skills to build a stronger community. Amrutha, from the class of 2011 and currently working at the Asian Development Bank, recently held a financial literacy workshop for our final-year college students. Drawing from her experiences in empowering communities and shaping sustainable trade practices, she offered practical advice on spending and saving, and helped participants create a plan to manage their income responsibly once they begin working. This is why we value skill-sharing at Shanti Bhavan—it enriches our community and empowers our students to thrive. #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #ProudAlumni #FinancialLiteracy #PeerLearning #YouthEmpowerment #AlumniSuccess #WorldYouthSkillsDay

Teamwork in action! Our students, teachers, and staff came together for a game of tug of war. This fun activity showed us that true teamwork isn't just about pulling together; it's about understanding that we are stronger united and can overcome any challenge. When we collaborate and support one another, we can achieve remarkable things. 🤝 What's your favorite team activity? #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #Learning #Teamwork #Collaboration #ProblemSolving #TugOfWar

Auntie Premika shows a new preschooler her very own bed for the first time. For many of our kids, this is a whole new experience. At home, they often sleep on the floor, cramped into a corner of their single-room houses shared with many family members. But here, they get to have their own bed—a place to call their own. #NGO #NGOindia #NonProfitsOfIndia #Netflix #Documentary #Education #EducationMatters #EducationForAll #Learning #socialimpact #SB2Opening #NewBeginnings
