Mainstreaming Play requires concerted efforts. And our partners, collaborators and volunteers have held us in good stead in our endeavour. If we deny children their Right to Play, we deny them their right to understand the world. Play has the power to influence all that we are, can become, and even the relations we form, as it promotes mental well-being, and social-emotional skills, and improves learning and life outcomes. If Play is integrated into the fabric of society, we will be a stronger yet kinder race.
Our conscious and collaborative efforts with long-term partners, volunteers and supporters have been driven by this belief. While the Toybank team has been delivering Play in urban and rural Maharashtra, partnerships have amplified our work.
Play makes unserved children resolute to face all hardships.
– SHWETA CHARI, COFOUNDER AND CEO, TOYBANK
