SEASON 2014 “PHENOMENON 1” 30/1/2014
A simple and sweet saying describing our
mindset. I don’t want to term the day as an event or activity because of the
divinity felt.
LOCATION: Hebbagodi Government school.
Hebbagodi village is located at a distance
of 25 kms from Bangalore towards Hosur. We had 24 enthusiastic volunteers. We planned to conduct quiz, essay writing,
drawing competitions for students. Necessary arrangements were made for the
competition. The day was divided into 3 slots. Pre lunch session, post lunch
session and prize distribution.
Slot
1: Quiz competition for class 5, 6, 7. Drawing for class 4 and 5.
Slot
2: Quiz competition for class 8,9,10. Essay writing for class 8, 9 and 10.
The two competitions took place
simultaneously. The students took part in great numbers. Quiz was based on
general topics. There was no topic for drawing. Students had their freedom to
draw anything. Essay writing was on interesting topics. Many entries were
received from both drawing and essay writing. The audience too interacted very
well.
This is our first visit to the school. The
purpose was to interact with them and make them feel comfortable. We received
astonishing response. We were successful in entering into their imagination and
were able to leave a mark when we left. Teachers were very kind to both us and
the children. Their influence could be seen in their discipline during events
and thoughts which came out during drawing and essay competitions. Overall, a
nice sense of mutual understanding and co ordination developed
Education is
the most important tool we can use to change the world
-Nelson Mandela
We
made sure we propagated education and its importance too. More importantly, the
importance of a teacher was conveyed to them.
Slot 3: Prize Distribution.
The certificates and prizes were awarded to
the victorious by the head master. We thanked the teachers for their support
and co ordination. The teachers too shared their thoughts about us and
encouraged us. They gave some insights to the students too.
Acknowledgements: Sincere thanks to Shruti Sagar – member
RAMOSE and Prof. Rajendra Prasad – (teacher at Hebbagodi GHS) who played a
major role for the “phenomenon” to take place and healing our souls.
