Children’s and Teenagers Life Skills Building
The demands of the changing world have put an enormous pressure over the current and future generations to get ready before jumping into the real world. The real world is fast, demanding and full of surprises. When we step into the real world, there are not as many areas of work as there are people. So, one has to get into the same work as nearly everyone else. This not only increases a competition for space, but also generates a fight for survival. However, those who have skills and the capacity to endure the pressure, steam through the test. There are, unfortunately, not many who have those skills and capacities. Our children need to learn those skills and develop capacities. These skills compliment the world of academics and prepare the child for the real world. These are called Life Skills, and we help children of employees to learn these life skills and get engaged with life.
At Abundance, we provide the next generation with opportunities to develop themselves and to learn these life skills. There are many programs under this life skills initiative that can be taken up by organizations (for children of their staff) and by individuals to provide skills to their children that could help them in their practical life.
