MindFresh helps students overcome behavioural and emotional problems.
There was an unusual gathering at the NKT Boys High School, Triplicane, last week. Late evening a woman came out of the school to get into her car. A group of children studying in the SYMA tuition centre followed her. While one requested her to speak to her father another pleaded with her to help her out of bad habits. But what moved the woman was the statement from a boy who told her coyly, “Madam, you have changed my life today.”
What caused this transformation among the under-privileged children of the tuition centre? It was the way Kirtanya Krishnamurthy, founder-director of MindFresh, touched them at the two-hour workshop. She made students realise the worth of themselves, parents and teachers. The session helped them to share their problems. It made some of them ashamed of their behaviour at school and home. Some even vowed to correct themselves on the spot!
