Confident Clover
Confidant Clover, an organisation dedicated to the regulation of emotions and the enhancement of mental health, has collaborated with Miss Bushra Allahwala and our students at Ujala to conduct a series of insightful art therapy sessions. These sessions have proven to be a meaningful and creative journey towards understanding and nurturing emotional well-being. During these sessions, our students had the opportunity to explore and express their feelings through art, using a myriad of colours and engaging with various textures of leaves. They also created representations of their emotions on balloons, symbolising the idea of releasing and letting go. Through these artistic activities, we have fostered an environment that encourages emotional growth and self-expression, and we are grateful to Confidant Clover for their valuable contributions to our mission of promoting mental health and well-being.

First Response Initiative Pakistan
We had the honour of receiving a devoted group of persons from the First Response Initiative of Pakistan (Frip) who came to educate our workers on essential life-saving skills at Ujala. This collaboration was a huge step forward in our continuous dedication to safety and readiness. The Frip team held an instructive seminar at Ujala, where they conveyed essential information on how to properly respond in the face of accidents or emergency circumstances. Our employees were trained to take rapid, life-saving actions such as analysing the situation, contacting emergency services for assistance, and performing CPR as needed. This vital training gives our staff the knowledge and confidence to make a difference in crucial situations, protecting the safety and well-being of people around us.

Nuero Diversity
We promote neurodiversity and provide a safe, inclusive atmosphere at Ujala. A group of dedicated psychologists led a training on safe and dangerous contact, a critical part of child protection. Our team learned a lot from this training to safeguard and support our children. In addition to these instructive workshops, the team taught special needs youngsters classroom management methods. These tactics are crucial to providing each kid with tailored educational help.<br><br> Our educators also participated in art therapy because of its healing properties. This gave our teachers a creative outlet and helped them grasp neurodiverse children's perspectives. These projects demonstrate our dedication to creating an atmosphere where every kid, regardless of their needs or skills, can grow and succeed.

YOGA - Member Of A Healthy Society
As a collaborative effort with Member of a Healthy Society, Ujala recently organised a rejuvenating yoga session that brought together our students, parents, and faculty for a day of holistic well-being and interaction.
