“Thank you very much for taking care of our little ones. For Ujan, I never thought he will go in such a place and listen to others. You all provide him the second home and family that I could not. We are grateful for time, love, care, and perspective that you all are giving. Please give me any feedback that I may need. And sincere gratitude for doing the wonderful amazing work."”

Thank you so much for your efforts in making this summer camp a fun based learning experience for kids.The idea of introducing them to cavemen, ancient hunting tools/ weapons, Indus valley civilization and Egyptian civilization was an innovative approach.
Pottery workshop was a brilliant idea for the summer activity.
Prisha was sharing with me that she will miss her teachers and her friends.
She was asking me, what would she do once the camp ends
I am really grateful to Snehan teachers and support staff for providing a friendly environment to all kids.
- Anamika Rathore, 2025
Thanks a lot for the creative ways indulged to make the kids understand the ancient civilization. I must say history was made so interesting that I remember school days of learning about them, though kids learnt them in the most enjoyable way
- Sakshi Tandon, 2025
This (Summer camp) was thoroughly enjoyed by Jaitri and us. We look forward to spend some more time in different ways. Many thanks and admiration to detailing and hard work to cover all aspects of civilisations. Thank you
