The idea is to focus on the mental well-being and creative outcome of kids, she adds. So anyone who signs up — which involves adding the Tamuku Alerts number [+91-7619579103] and submitting a subscription form — gets one activity a day in Hindi or English. "The activities are centred on theatre, storytelling, visual arts, etc. For instance, today's activity requires children to ask one family member about what's most precious to them. We try to go beyond engaging kids, and instead create experiences. Once they are done with this activity, they will think about what or who is precious to them," Labroo shares. Other activities included object tracing, composing cinquain (un-rhymed) poems and puppet-making, each coming with a set of detailed instructions.

The NGO has also been hosting interactive Facebook live sessions with artistes once a week. "The Gujarat government's education department has also been sending out our resources to kids. We have over 600 subscribers from urban and rural families and plan to expand the service in Marathi and Punjabi," Labroo adds.
