Over 860 balaks and balikas and 215 karyakars from 42 BAPS centers throughout Africa participated in the five Bal-Balika Shibirs held in Johannesburg, South Africa; Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania; Lilongwe, Malawi; Kisumu, Kenya; and Lusaka, Zambia.
Based on the theme ‘Chhiye Ame to Chhotaji’, the shibirs featured a rich mix of inspiring presentations and fun interactive activities. The sessions focused on teaching essential values to the children, such as performing personal daily puja correctly, respecting and appreciating parents, managing screen time wisely, valuing education, avoiding negative influences, dedicating time to daily devotional rituals, and developing mahima and trust towards the Satpurush.
The shibirs provided valuable life lessons and fun-filled memories to all the participants.
