Venalthanima 2017:
The purpose driven annual camp for students — Venalthanima 2017 — a three day personality development & leadership training workshop organized by Thanima, the socio-cultural group active in Kuwait, is gearing up for an explosion this year too with one and only aim of a total educational experience much more than a recreation. A respite from school & siblings and a departure from the pressures of normal life, Venalthanima is here once again to drive the participants to a world of their dreams. This year’s theme is ‘Back to Books’.
Inter-active and activity oriented training sessions by experts on diverse topics, outdoor activities etc, are part of the camp. Renowned Human/personality development trainers will lead various sessions along with a team of experts.
Participants will be divided into 3 groups based on their age — Sub Juniors (Class 4 & 5), Juniors (Class 6-8) and Seniors ( Class 9-12). The number of participants will be limited to 50 in each Group on a first-come first-serve basis, in order to give maximum personal attention to each participant. The camp is scheduled to be from May 4-6, 2017 (Thur-Sat) at Thanima Centre, Julaiah.
Those who look forward to a fantabulous camping experience to develop their independence, self-esteem and a long lasting friendship amongst each other, pursue new interests, develop fitness & sports skills, are invited to register at the earliest at www.thanimakuwait.com/vtapps/ until April 10, 2017, subject to seat availability.
