Over the past few months, as a part of this beautiful program, we have weekly group visits where we try to help children who do not have the privilege of being a part of such an ingenious and holistic child development program. We have tried to teach them about the need of basic hygiene and we tried to promote gender equality and inclusion. We have also taken up other things like making them understand traffic rules and its basic guidelines.
Over a course of few visits, what was presumed to be a one way learning from our team to the children, completely changed into a healthy two-way sharing of knowledge. The amount of learning that they might have received from me is nothing compared to what I have learnt from them. I have learnt to be simple and modest. I have learnt to find happiness in the little things around us.
What we are trying to do is a slow and eventful process. Week after week, activity after activity, we have tried to impart a life skill/lesson in each student. We really hope that we are able to touch the lives of the young souls of Ingraham Primary School (where we go for our visits) and when they venture out in the outside world, they are no way restrained in their thoughts.
We would achieve our purpose if these students are eventually able to distinguish right over wrong and also educate their friends on the same.
