About the Unicyling and Juggling Program at Shishu Mandir Education Center

Our purpose with this program is to assist the Shishu Mandir Education Center of Bangalore, India to raise children out of poverty.  The school is dedicated to ensuring the children have life skills as well as education.  Our program helps the children build confidence, self-esteem and a sense of pride in knowing that they can perform feats that very few in their country can do.  This has resulted in the children’s personal development – they are better students, they are more outgoing and they are more collaborative in groups. And they have the added benefit of building an enduring fun physical fitness regimen.
