An African proverb
Children are like sponges that absorb everything from their surroundings. The habits, thinking patterns and moral values developed in the early formative years extend into later years as well. With these facts in mind, NVCC has begun training programs for girls and boys. These classes are usually conducted over the weekend so that their regular curriculum is undisturbed. Children are encouraged to learn Sanskrit slokas to improve memory and concentration, to hear inspirational stories about various devotees in different eras and chanting holy names of Lord. Children learn to focus on Krishna and gives them inner strength. Short trips to holy places in and around Pune are also arranged for the children.
