Adventure Camp for Blind children SVH-HNAF 2022

Life-skill Development through Nature Study Camp Date: 18-23 December 2022 Over the last three decades SVH has been participating in the annual nature Study cum Adventure Camp hosted by the Himalayan Nature & Adventure Foundation (HNAF), Siliguri at various jungle spots in north Bengal under the able leadership of its Secretary Animesh Bose and HNAF volunteers. During the year under report this Camp was hosted at Murti Tent under the Gorumara Forest Division. 68 children and youths with Vision Impairment were collected from the underprivileged families of local teagardens and migrant labours to participate in this Camp. Earlier a number of children attending these camps were mainstreamed through admission in Blind schools or under Sarva Sikhsha Abhiyan general schools whichever was found suitable. Due to shortage of volunteer strength it was not possible for SVH to send trained personnel from Kolkata. Instead Rs 20,000/- (Rupees twentythousand only) was sent to HNAF as a humble token of our participation.
