The orphanage was founded in 1975 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) to care for and protect orphaned wild elephants found wandering in and near the forests of Sri Lanka.

Day 4 - Part II Reaching to summit of Sigiriya Rock
Experience!!!Elements of Nature!!!
After lunch, the plan was to climb Sigiriya Rock. It was a challenging trek for the students, but their excitement and curiosity to see the historical remains of the ancient fort energized them.
Sigiriya, also known as Lion Rock, is an ancient rock fortress near the town of Dambulla in Central Province, Sri Lanka. This historical and archaeological site features a massive granite column about 180 meters (590 feet) high.
Sigiriya has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Evidence shows that many rock shelters and caves nearby were used by Buddhist monks and ascetics as early as the 3rd century BC. The earliest sign of human habitation at Sigiriya is the Aligala rock shelter, east of Sigiriya rock, indicating the area was occupied around 3000 BCE during the Mesolithic Period.
From the top of Sigiriya rock, the students witnessed a magnificent sunset amidst the beauty of the forest.

The refining process involves several steps and stages. A store guide explained these details through a video, a model setup, and a tour of the gem factory where artisans used different machines and tools to carve the gemstones, enhancing their beauty and value. This was a unique and educational experience for the students.
In the evening, we visited the Kandyan Cultural Center in Kandy, where the students witnessed various dance forms accompanied by live music performed on traditional instruments. This cultural show beautifully presented the culture, life, festivals, and beliefs of the Sri Lankan people.
Finally, we visited the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Kandy, also known as Sri Dalada Maligawa. This famous Buddhist temple is situated in the royal complex in Kandy, an ancient kingdom during the lifetime of Lord Buddha. The temple holds the sacred relic of the natural tooth of Lord Buddha, specifically the left upper canine. Due to its ancient history and the relics of Lord Buddha, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The students were awed by the temple's significance and beauty.

Summer Excursion - Sri Lanka | Day 2 - Fun, Masti & Relax | 30th Apr 2024
Sri Lanka - The Land of Ravana. The students were thrilled to explore Sri Lanka, a country rich in mythology and history. On our way to the beach resort, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with authentic Sri Lankan flavours at a rooftop restaurant. The view was stunning, with Colombo city on one side and the sea on the other.
Upon arriving at the beach resort, we assigned rooms based on pre-decided batches, grouping boys and girls by age and grade. This way, they could help each other and learn the value of cooperation.
The first day was all about acclimatising and relaxing. After a short rest, the students were eager to explore the city. We took a bus ride to a restaurant for lunch, where they savoured more authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.
Back at the resort, the students had a blast at the beach, enjoying the waves, playing volleyball, and watching a beautiful sunset. Later, they played antakshari and danced to Bollywood songs, filling the evening with fun and laughter.
Dinner was at the resort, and the students thoroughly enjoyed the meal. After dinner, we quickly checked in to ensure everyone was healthy and ready for the next day's activities. We recognised students who participated actively throughout the day and provided information about the upcoming activities. This nightly standup became a routine.
Even after a busy day, the students had enough energy for a late-night party in their rooms. One of the BTGS team members checked on them late at night, finding them still buzzing with excitement.
Stay tuned for more adventures!
Day 3 - Curiosity!!!History and Nature!!!
The day started at 7 am with swimming time for the girls, followed by the boys. The students had a lot of fun in the pool. They went for breakfast at 9 am.
At 10 am, the city tour began with a visit to St. Mary Church, which is about 200 years old. We met a lady from the family that owns the church, and she told us about its history and architecture. The students also watched an annual cultural festival at the church.
On the way to the city, we saw the dry fish market. Students were surprised to know that the market provides dried fish for the rainy season when fishermen can't go to sea.
Next, the students saw the Dutch Canal, also called "Hamilton Canal." This canal goes through the city, reaching Colombo Port in the south and Tong Putram in the north, and is 120 kilometers long. It was built by Dutch colonists to transport cinnamon to Colombo and is still used today. Now, people can take small boats and enjoy the views along the canal.
Students had a delicious lunch at a famous restaurant and then took some time to relax.
The next plan was to watch the beautiful sunset at Negambo Beach. Students played on the beach and enjoyed the waves.
The day ended with dinner at the resort and a stand-up.

Summer Excursion - Sri Lanka | Day 1 - Educational and Cultural Enrichment Program | 29th Apr 2024
Hurrah!!!
The Fun Begins!!!
The adventure started at 6 pm at Swami Vivekanand International Airport, Raipur. Excited students, carrying all their luggage, gathered with their parents who handed them over to the BTGS team. The students cheerfully waved goodbye to their parents as they headed to the departure gate, where their parents stayed until they disappeared.
Before entering the airport, students were briefed on the process. They learned to check in, scan their baggage, reach the ticket counter to drop off their luggage, collect their boarding passes, and complete the security check.
After passing through security, the students enjoyed a delicious snack and then it was time to board the flight from Gate No. 8. The airport staff and other passengers asked the students about their trip, adding to the excitement.
During the flight, the students enjoyed playing games and enjoying each other's company.
We landed at Mumbai Airport around midnight, but the students were still full of energy. Hungry after the journey, we found a McDonald's outside the airport. The students were thrilled and enjoyed a much-needed meal. Since our next flight to Colombo, Sri Lanka, was early in the morning, we decided to rest a bit.
Having already received our boarding passes for the Mumbai to Colombo flight in Raipur, we headed straight to the security check. For many students, this was their first experience with immigration. They learned how to show their passports and visas, answer questions at the counter, and gain new confidence in navigating the process.
The two-hour flight from Mumbai to Colombo went smoothly, and soon we arrived in Sri Lanka, the Pearl of Indian Ocean.
Stay tuned for more adventures!

For the readiness of Session 2024-25, the XSEED Kick off training for teachers was facilitated by the XSEED resource person on 27th of April 2024 at BTGS.
It was a great learning experience for the teachers where they got a chance to observe the mock class, present micro teaching, and get their query resolved one on one.
The team activity made the teachers revive their childhood days. It was an experiential learning for the BTGS facilitators, and they will be energetically taking it over to their classrooms.
"Unity in diversity" is a metaphor for a country like India which is extraordinarily rich in culture and legacy. At BTGS, we Brahmaviders proudly celebrate festivals by blending the essence of wisdom and spirituality with culture and tradition. The beautiful amalgamation of two major festivals of this month, i.e., Ram Navami and Baisakhi were celebrated through a Ramp Walk Competition conducted for Grades 3 to 5, wherein children of Grade 3 portrayed the ideal and powerful characters of the Ramayana like Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Hanuman, Ravana, Sugriva, etc.
On the other hand, children from Grades 4 and 5 showed dynamism by depicting the vibrant culture of Punjabis on the special occasion of Baisakhi, Baisakhi is celebrated to commemorate the onset of the solar New Year in parts of North India, particularly in Sikh culture. Children presented the multi-coloured brilliance of the attire reflecting the perky and bubbly nature of Punjab's lifestyle. While the two festivals are different, they share a similar message — unity, benevolence, virtuosity and renewal.
Overall, BTGS exemplified the integration of festivals at its best through this vibrant and enthralling event.
A class on the concept of Multiple Intelligences Theory(MI) was taken by the Academic Director, Ms Shobha Padarha for the psychology students of grades 11 &12 at BTGS.

Sound healing is an ancient practice rooted in the belief that sound vibrations can facilitate healing and relaxation. During a sound healing session, individuals typically lie down in a comfortable environment, close their eyes, and focus on the sounds produced by various musical instruments such as chimes, gongs, and singing bowls.
The therapeutic effects of sound vibrations on both the mind and body have been widely recognized. Research suggests that sound healing can induce a state of deep relaxation by slowing down brain waves, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Additionally, it may have potential benefits for addressing certain physical and mental health conditions
The residential students of Brahmavid The Global School got an opportunity to be a part of this session and experience the benefits of Sound Healing.

On National Vitamin C Day, our little ones had a blast making lemonade with their teachers. They learnt about staying hydrated and Vitamin C. What made it extra special was that the students got to make their own refreshing drink. With the helping hands of their teachers, they set off on a lemon adventure - washing, cutting, and squeezing the juicy halves. Mixing in sugar and a sprinkle of salt, their mix magically transformed. This hands-on fun activity not only pleased their taste buds but also helped them get better at using their hands, as they savoured each sip with pure joy.
The session on unlocking the innate power within ourselves and the belief that nothing is impossible. It was truly inspiring to explore the concept that once we set our minds to a task, we can find a way to accomplish it.
During the session, we delved into various strategies and techniques for learning, remembering, and recalling information. These insights serve as valuable tools in our journey to overcome challenges and achieve our goals.
As we reflect on the session, let us carry forward the belief that with determination, perseverance, and the right mindset, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way. Let us continue to seek out new ways to enhance our skills and abilities, knowing that there is always a way forward.
