These kids are change makers

 In a society apathetic civic and social issues and tending passes the buck, it is heartwarming to see children becoming ‘doers’ themselves. In a first step towards ushering in that change, 20 children from HLC International School, Sholinganallur have ventured out to address civic problems and have come out with as many books to be a part of a ‘social change initiative’ called Karthavyam that is led by their school. To get a peek into their venture, CE visited them in school ahead of their road show.


The project was initially developed as a campaign celebrating heroes who addressed social and environmental issues while also exposing values lost in today’s society. “In society, intellect alone serves no purpose. we need social skills like collaboration, empathy, creativity and leadership, which are key traits for children becoming problem-solvers instead of just armchair analysts,” says Naveen Mahesh, director, HLC International. “We began by gauging how children could actively discuss by asking reasonable questions to issues sans reasonable answers, like why are tolls collected on OMR even when there are potholes? Why aren’t people driving on the wrong side of the road caught by the police? We facilitated a lot of questions to understand what kids are aware of.”
