SoulKids are talented individuals!!



Look at this beautiful painting " Indian Beauty " by ARJUN - one of our SoulKids - aged 11.
He is so talented and we are all SO ..SO.. SO.. PROUD of him and his ability.
Arjun - you are SPECIAL and you ROCK !!!!


When asked where his inspiration came from this is what he wrote...

I draw my inspiration from the world I live in and the world that I observe. There are many inspiring things in daily life like the landscape, people, nature, flowers & animals. I am also observing how people look, think and interact with their environment.
For this painting, my inspiration came from the Indian-Himalayan countryside where cows graze happily and mountains stand tall, where frogs do wonderful acrobatics and children skip along. In this picture two women have come to the riverside to bring water home to their families. A flock of swans migrate from wintry lands in search of warmer places.
This painting reminds me that we human beings are but only one of the many species on this planet earth. And if we live harmony with nature then we have a spiritual experience and we live in balance and happiness.

Our Mentors are Special too !!


Meet Eng Heng and Sharon....2 wonderful Soulkids Mentors.( in the centre,pictured with founders- Vikas Malkani and Sally Forrest)

Their comments show that they receive so much from giving to the Soulkids !

Sometimes in life we just think about what can we GET from life...here are wonderful examples of people who focus on what they want to GIVE ...and then as a result get so much !!

In SoulKids, we believe you are never too old to grow and learn and that you can learn from everyone and anyone !
The children on SoulKids teach us many amazing things and we are so grateful to be a part of it !
If you want to be part of the SoulKids Mentor training programme contact us on soulcentresingapore@yahoo.com.sg or visit the website at www.soulcentre.org.


From Sharon.."SoulKids has been a great experience for me. I was able to teach the children life skills and to reach out to more children.
From teaching the children, I have learnt to be better myself in whatever I do. I feel joyful because the feedback and testimonials of the children and parents show me there is positive transformation."


From Eng Heng " Besides learning how to reach out to children, SoulKids has been an eye-opener for me in my personal growth.
With each training class, I have learned to know myself better and to grow to be a better person.
My experiences of seeing children transform and grow positively has truly touched my heart. The testimonials from them and their parents further bear evidence of the benefits they have gained."


Thanks to the wonderful SoulKids Mentors like Eng Heng and Sharon, for making a difference in the lives of so many children!
