Mindful Mela

In this heartwarming tool, Sabina Khatri introduces the concept of Mindful Coins—earned through acts of empathy and saved over time to be spent at a community fair.
More than a school event, this mela becomes a micro-economy of values where children learn budgeting, saving, sharing, and the joy of delayed gratification.
Let’s raise a generation that values effort, shares generously, and celebrates the beauty of earning through kindness.
