A three-day literary camp titled “Walk With Words” was organised at Don Bosco Boys Home, Mundakkal, under the leadership of the Fishermen Community Development Programme (FCDP), with the aim of enhancing students’ literary skills while nurturing their social and cultural awareness. Through interactive sessions, creative activities, discussions, and group activities, the camp sought to strengthen participants’ reading, writing, communication, and critical-thinking abilities while promoting social values, teamwork, and interpersonal relationships.

A total of 23 students participated actively in the camp, which began with an ice-breaking session and interactive games that encouraged enthusiasm and teamwork among the children. The participants were later divided into four groups representing different fields of literature.

The camp was officially inaugurated by noted writer, publisher, and social activist V. T. Kurippuzha. During the inaugural session, he distributed books published by Sthithi Publications to the students and delivered a talk titled “Humanity, Art, and Literature,” highlighting literature's transformative role in society.

The programme was attended by Fr. Saji Elampasseril, Director of FCDP-TMS, along with Mr Campal Pius, Higher Secondary School Teacher, and Mr Carlos, retired Government Higher Secondary School Teacher. Mr Campal Pius led a session titled “Walk With Channel,” while Mr Carlos conducted the “Walk With Values” session.

The camp also provided students with opportunities to showcase their talents through various presentations and creative performances. The activities were coordinated and facilitated by D. Ron, Mrs Berlin, Ms Fida Fathima, Ms Sona Shaji, and Ms Simran Elsa Chacko.
