PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT FOR CHILDREN
- Children are not just little adults. They go through typical stages of growth�intellectually, emotionally, and socially�on their way to becoming adults. Sometimes we may think that children are too young to understand a gospel principle or that we really don�t have much influence with our older children. Developing the personality of children involves a holistic approach that considers various aspects of their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive well-being. Developing a child�s personality is an essential element in today�s competitive world. A developed personality is a key to success. Though developing personality in children is a slow and steady process, it enhances their confidence in the future. Developing a child�s personality holds great importance, as it brings a lot more changes in the way the child behaves, deals or accepts a situation, or life itself. And then who as a parent would like to see lot of personality traits in a child. A child with a developed personality can stay socially viable, will be able to impress his audience, interact better, handle situations with great ease, have a positive approach towards every situation in life, and handle stress better. In the present context in Nepal, the school and family focus on getting good marks in exams. However, it is not focused on exploring the hidden talents of children and developing them for the future. Children have less opportunities for those. This project aims to dig out the hidden talents and develop different skills so that they can perform better in the future.
- � Prepare and conduct the research to dig out child�s hidden talents and interest. � Organize sessions of different life skills like communication, public speaking, leadership and so on. � Prepare and implement different sessions like- arts, sports, language to improve children�s ability.
- The volunteers will stay in Kathmandu for two nights until orientation. VIN covers two nights� accommodation on sharing basis and simple Nepali-style food. Then they will be with the host family/hostel identified by VIN in Okhaldhunga. The living facilities are simple and basic. Male and female Volunteers will share the same living area with separate rooms. There will be 2-4 people in one room. Volunteers are required to sleep on simple beds. Please bring your sleeping bag.
- Jitpurphedi, Tarakeshwor, Kathmandu: Jitpurphedi community is located in the outskirts of Kathmandu District. It is around 10-15 km from the main ring road to Balaju, Kathmandu, covered with hills, fields, and woods. You can go sightseeing at various cultural heritage sites around Kathmandu.

VIN is a non-governmental, non-political, non-religious, not-for-profit organization which was founded in
2005 by a diverse group drawn from development workers, educationalists, social activists and other
professionals.
VIN’s mission is to empower marginalised communities, with a focus on women and children,
through enhanced educational programs and community training to promote equality, economic
well-being and basic human rights.
Community Focused Programmes
VIN has a main community based pilot project in Jitpur, a rural community 11km from Kathmandu city.
The area was chosen because of its geographical location, lack of development agencies, people
interest, and its development needs. VIN has established 4 key programmes in Jitpur:
Women’s Empowerment
Children’s Development
Youth Development
Community Health
The organization’s objective is for these programmes to be run by the Jitpur community (independently of
VIN) by 2012. Our community volunteering projects are based on around above 4 major programmes.
Out of Community Support Programmes
VIN runs a number of other volunteer placement programmes not directly related to the Jitpur community
but indirectly these programmes still contribute to our main programs. The programmes include:
Teaching English at Buddhist monasteries / nunneries
International journalism
Environment, conservation and agro forestry
Orphanage support
Working with disable people (e.g., deaf, elderly)
