In a joyful afternoon session organized by Prime Trust and India Volunteer Care, the children had the chance to design and create their own bookmarks. The idea was simple: choose any shape, decorate it however you like, and take it home to use in your favorite book. There were no instructions, no fixed designs – just a table full of materials and a room full of imagination.
The activity was supported by Anna, a volunteer from Germany, who has been working with Prime Trust for the past few months. Together with the team, she encouraged the children to express themselves freely. Some cut out stars and animals, others decorated their bookmarks with hearts, names, and vibrant patterns. Stickers, glitter, colored pens – every creation was different, and every child had a story to tell.
More than just a fun art project, the session was a way to make reading feel personal and exciting. A handmade bookmark becomes something more than just a placeholder – it becomes a symbol of ownership, a small but powerful connection to the world of books.
At Prime Trust’s tuition center, activities like these are an important part of holistic education. They show that learning doesn’t have to be rigid or standardized – it can be colorful, creative, and deeply personal.
Because in the end, reading is not only about words. It’s about the joy of entering a new world – and sometimes, all you need is a small, handmade bookmark to help you find your way there.
