 thers were shown.


 The kids as well as teachers enjoyed the session. They were so impressed that they even gave us a greeting card expressing gratitude.


 All along,one question remained the same.


 “Can we get foldscopes too? ”


 This question was asked many a times. The teachers and students are looking forward  to see, observe, learn and explore through the foldscope.


 We are thankful to Dr. Khedkar Sir who introduced foldscope and guided us through thick and thin.

Interactive session with kids of Neevam The School

On 29th of September,  Nature  Lovers, conducted a workshop at Sant Gadge Baba Ashram Shala,Nagarwadi, Amravati, Maharashtra.


 We introduced the students and teachers to the foldscope. The students learned various things which will surely be helpful to them in their future.The response was very welcoming.


 This is an Ashram Shala ,they had around 15 microscopes  but all are collecting dust. It was  initially difficult for us to cope up,but we introduced the microscope first and then told them about the foldscope.
