With the advent of technology and improved comfort, our lives have transformed for the better – for the majority of cases, that is. Traditional play-things and toys have given way to smart toys; some of which can even read minds. The iPad is almost every urban child’s imaginary friend. This results in kids getting isolated from rest of the world. They either don't get the time or they don’t have a place to play; may be even both. As a result, they don’t get involved in any outdoor activity. Sadly, in most cases, they grow used to this arrangement.

Do the kids of today know that there was a time when there were enough mangoes to slurp and guavas to be plucked - ripe, raw, or perfectly crunchy? They probably don’t even know that we once climbed trees and plucked fruits of our choice. Our kids barely ever play traditional games like hide and seek, hopscotch, robbers and cops etc.

Today, students are more or less disconnected with nature, and from the sources of natural food. They are not aware of what good food is, and how it is cultivated. Kids wouldn’t know the significance of an earthworm in a plant’s growth. They, perhaps, may not even have seen an earthworm in their life.

At Healthacation, we give children a chance to experience all that’s good and natural – things that their ancestors never imagined would become a rarity. We also provide tips on self-development and health. We help children discover their hidden skills.

Come… have fun! Learn to mingle with nature.
