"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
The core of a family affair project is sessions that are aimed to impart various skills to children that could potentially lead to a hobby, develop creativity, bring out hidden talents and eventially be utilized to earn some income. During our various projects, we have seen some enetrprising kids who have managed to sell what they made during the sessions and earn some money in the process. "family affair" has also sponsored the development of such skills in some children who have shown the aptitude and willingness to pursue. For example, we bought sewing machines for some of the girls of the Thiruvananthapuram projects, who over time have developed their sewing skills to reach levels where they can pursue it as a profession.
The pictures below show some of the activities that we carry out in a typical family affair project. You can also see these in the individual page of each project.
