The edutainment camp named “Changatham” (or friendship) was attended by a large number of schoolchildren. An interactive program, titled “Damu is also a good boy,” taught children the importance of moral values.
There was a special session for the evaluation of the IChange diary published by Malarvadi Saudi Arabia earlier this year for the personality and educational development of children.
The camp also included a presentation on parenting by officials from CIGI (Center for Information and Guidance, India). A large number of parents attended the presentation by Mehaboob Ahmed, Rasheed Ameer and Naseer Ahmed of CIGI, Jeddah.
