Large-scale arrangements are being made in TN for holding VBS this summer. May. This is a new step for SBS, and it is expected to touch the lives of several thousand more children this year. The area is large, and the potential numbers massive, but few are the labourers right now available in the field. Already the material produced in the state of Kerala is being used by some organizers in these states, and much more is likely to be translated and used in the coming days. More than 30 persons were given month-long training in the last two years.
Many more programs are likely to follow.
Also, five very large Regional Camps would also be conducted in various parts of Kerala. A special camp is held every year for students visiting India from overseas, and this year such a camp will be held again from July 18 to 22. A specialty of this camp is the parallel sessions offered for parents. A general camp attracting more than a thousand five hundred participants is held every alternate year. This year it will be held in the end of August.
