Kids Clay Studio Handbuilding Sessions: In collaboration with Clay Studio Maldives, these sessions offered children a chance to explore their creativity through hands-on clay modelling and sculpting. This artistic engagement was both enjoyable and stimulating, enhancing the children’s creative thinking and fine motor skills.

Carrom Challenge: Partnering with the Carrom Association, this event was designed to enhance strategic thinking, refine fine motor skills, and foster social interaction among participants. National team players served as instructors, teaching the children the game’s rules and strategies. An exhibition match featuring these players was a highlight that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Painting, Art & Crafts, and Book Reading: Conducted by CreativeJous Art Studio and Oala App, these sessions included a variety of creative activities such as drawing, painting, clay modelling, and crafting. The highlight was a science experiment involving the creation of slime, which captivated the children’s interest.

Table Tennis Sessions: In collaboration with Raajje Sports Academy at the Hulhumale’ TT Hall, these sessions introduced the children to the basics of table tennis, including footwork, forehand, and backhand strokes, essential skills for any aspiring player.

Water Sports Sessions: Hosted by Beach Club Maldives, these sessions provided a memorable aquatic experience. Activities included banana boat rides, jet skiing, and canoeing, along with sand play and other beach games.

ARC extended its deepest gratitude to all partners and volunteers, as well as MTCC for providing essential transportation services. 

Their support was instrumental in making the holiday programmes a resounding success, bringing smiles and joy to the children of Fiyavathi Shelter during their school holidays.
