Maple Bear Singasandra & Hosa Road Nurtures Young Hearts Through “Maple Bear Ki Gullak” Initiative
Maple Bear Canadian Preschool, Singasandra & Hosa Road, successfully concluded its heartfelt value-based initiative, “Maple Bear Ki Gullak – Challenge for a Cause,” reinforcing the belief that proper education extends beyond textbooks and into shaping compassionate citizens.
The initiative encouraged young children to create and take home a Gullak (piggy bank), in which families collectively contributed small savings over time. Through this simple yet powerful activity, children were gently introduced to the values of kindness, sharing, and social responsibility, and they understood that even small efforts can create meaningful change. With enthusiastic participation from students, parents, grandparents, and friends, the initiative raised a total contribution of Rs. 33,986/- from Singasandra centre and Rs. 7,658/- from Hosa Road centre, which was formally handed over to The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an NGO dedicated to providing nutritious meals to children and supporting access to education.
The cheque handover took place in the presence of senior educators from Maple Bear South Asia & and the Akshaya Patra Foundation, represented by Mr Chethan and a team . The event marked a proud moment for the school, showcasing how early childhood education can meaningfully connect classroom learning to real-world impact.
Speaking on the occasion, the Centre Heads of both Singasandra & Hosa Road shared that the initiative helped the children experience the joy of giving, understand empathy, and recognise their role in helping others. Parents also appreciated the initiative to create meaningful conversations at home about generosity and gratitude. Centre director Mr Shivaprasad advised the kids to continue the habit of saving, Caring & sharing Through Maple Bear Ki Gullak, the school reaffirmed its commitment to holistic education inspired by global values such as compassion, community service, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The initiative stands as a testament to how schools and families can come together to nurture a kinder, more caring generation.
