Cuckoo Forest School

Dear Friends,  Cuckoo continues its journey with the environment, hand in hand with children and the community, with the possibility of building  a cradle, a forest school for children from all sections of society and home for the elderly,  A space of inspiration, learning and truth nestled within the red soil of the Jawadhu Hills. Initially the school will priortise the indigenous tribal people of that area.

Toy Making Workshop - An experience through Photographs   “Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”   ―  Rumi The Cuckoo Forest school, is one such school in the country which had people from all walks of life come together from across the country as far as Nagaland to help in building the school's first building, 'The Library' block, which is a fully mud construction structure. The amount of love and energy that was poured in by everyone while building the structure is inexplicable in words. There was a whole lot of manual labor involved in the construction and all of us were amateurs at it with the only thought of kids that this school would accommodate and this love and vibration could be felt throughout the school premises which also kept us and the volunteers going, in constructing the structure. Since this blog is more to do with our experience during the 'Toy Making Workshop', we will stick to
