Back at the Children’s Farm – Be A Farmer, 5th Session

August 4, 2021

We were back in the Children’s farm, with freshly turned soil. Seedlings and saplings were ready and eagerly waiting for the children.  

Everyone got started with the work, guided by our Farm Coach Srilakshmi Battula as well as our Farm supervisors, both of whom are Organic Farming graduates. Parents pitched in and helped the children.  

It was heartening to see children re-start their work without complaints. They were aware of the hardships experienced by farmers who faced similar issues of crop failures due to heavy and/or no rains. A parent has reflected that “farming teaches so many life skills that help children become physically and mentally so strong yet humble”. We believe that captured the experience so aptly.  

The session wrapped with children wanted a stay a little longer, have a snack and watch the clouds drift by. We are so happy to see how the OES Children’s farm has become a weekly routine in their lives.
