Volunteering with Bookworm
Blog post by Shreya I started volunteering with Bookworm because I love kids and I thought the work they do is really good. But when I started volunteering with them I realized it’s not just good but excellent! I have been volunteering with them for almost a year and a half and this time had […]
Line and Circle
Written by Barkha Sharda Line and Circle is a book by Tulika Publications that discusses the fascinating concepts of both line and circle and the combining of the two for more images and designs. This book uses a very basic method to both familiarize and encourage children to work with forms through lines and circles. […]
My Saturday Smiles Are Back!
Written by Meenal Bale This is a story. A story of nostalgia, of a beginning, a recollection of the ‘ifs’ and the ‘buts’ and the ‘had beens’ that probably became a vital component of the ‘IS’ today. A story of how the ‘Chimbel Warriors’ came into being. Books are indeed our best friend, and at […]
Water Cycle – Learning Cycle
What’s in a picture? A lot apparently. This we discovered at St. Inez MOP this Tuesday. It’s a wet day outside and right on cue, today we’re all huddled in the little temple space ready to read The Sea in a Bucket. This is a book about a little boy named Sonu who is ready […]

Chuk Chuk
Posted by Deepali Correya The Summer Camp ended and what an exciting Summer camp it has been!!! In all this excitement, a story with a train would fit just right. So I gathered the children and we all started about how everybody travels and everybody mentioned car, bus,train and a plane. Everybody had travelled in trains […]
Dolphin Talk
The Indo Pacific Humpback Dolphin is not a strange mammal in our world. Sightings, advertisements, and talk about dolphin cruises have been heard by the MOP children, so it was a relatively simple exercise to glide the dolphin into our conversation of the week across MOP Sites. Krystal found a video on dolphin behaviour that […]
Scrambling with scrabble
I took the scrabble tiles with me on my Thursday visit to the Chimbel Community Library. Such joy to see Faizal come up to help unload the van and Deepak and Aftab playing cricket assuring me they will come to the library, lest I ask . We went into the room that seems to shrink […]
