Organization level skills & sports competition

Purpose

Before launching our organization-level program, we host inter-school competitions in all of our adopted schools. When schools reopen each academic year, we focus on co-curricular activities and after conducting the competitions, we determine which activities to include in our organization-level program. The children who win the competition, either as winners or runners-up, are selected to participate in the program. Our organization-level program includes 21 activities, including: group dance, solo dance, mono acting, fancy dress, singing, drawing, essay writing, speech, imitation, handwriting, carrom, medicine ball, running (boys and girls), broad jump, story telling, general knowledge, skipping, kabaddi, chess, and observation/picture reading.

Preparation

The Earth Foundation has focused on education, arts, and sports. At the start of the academic year, we initiated 18 different activities in our adopted schools. These include: drawing, elocution, essay writing, kabaddi, running, chess, carom, broad jump, skipping, singing, dance, monoacting, handwriting, student exercise sheets, medicine ball throw, general knowledge, and moral values. These activities are designed to be both educational and enjoyable for children. We organized inter-school competitions among the EArtH children. Here are some pictures from competition preparation.

Competition

The competition was held on January 16th and 17th, 2023 in Huzurabad, Karimnagar district. All children arrived at the venue one day prior to the event. The first day began with the national anthem at 7:30 AM, followed by the completion of running (boys and girls), kabaddi, essay writing, drawing, solo dance, and group dances. On the second day, the remaining activities, including broad jump, chess, carrom, general knowledge, and storytelling, were successfully completed. A total of 209 children from 8 Earth adopted schools in Telangana participated in the competition.

The children were energetic and enthusiastic during each activity. At the end of the session, the Chief Guest, Huzurabad Municipal Chairperson Sri Gandde Radhika, attended and appreciated the activities of the Earth Foundation. She stated that most parents only encourage education, but the Earth Foundation focuses on education and co-curricular activities, which are now essential for children. Prizes were distributed to the winners of the games and skills.
