In Flipbook, there are 24 frames and the pictures are in motion. Harika My most fun day at the kalakootami was when I made a poster about the environment, earth, nature and about how to protect that from plastic. And I also made drawings about protecting the environment.. Vidya Reddy I have learned drawing skills in the lab. They changed me because I lost my stage fear and helped in thinking and talking and writing stories. M. Joshitha

Volunteers identify schools and learning communities that can benefit from self-learning resources. They help introduce books, activity kits, and learning materials, guide teachers and children on their use, and support ongoing engagement to ensure meaningful learning outcomes. Through this collaborative approach, children gain access to hands-on activities, scientific exploration, design thinking, environmental learning, and creative problem-solving experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Become a Learning Ambassador Anyone who believes in the power of learning can participate. Whether you are a teacher, college student, corporate volunteer, NGO representative, retired professional, or an individual looking to contribute, your involvement can make a lasting difference.
