English for uderpriviledged Children- Social responsibility



Every child deserves quality education, underprivileged children are not an exception.

To build a strong nation we have to work from the gross roots. Every individual need to have atleast twenty five percentage of social responsibility- It could be anything from planting trees/plants, teaching kids, giving food/shelter for the needy, helping aged person, etc the list is a long one. Always remember Only small droplets join to form ocean. This year I have chosen to teach underpriviledged children the basics of English.
Let me share my most treasured moments of life.We work as a team. We call ourselves MAD people [Make A Difference]. My team consists of 14 people who have committed for the cause. Ice Breaker games with the kids was amazing. We played games with the kids and the best game was asking them to do paper boats. The children right from 2nd stardard to 12th standard participated in this game very actively. There are about 50 kids in that home. They all go to government schools where in they are not confident about their english skills. Our small effort of giving them knowledge is with a hope that it will help them to build their self confidence and fetch them a decent job during their job hunting phase of life.
We have decided to go there every saturday/sunday and teach them english. Our mission is to make them speak in english fluently and confidently, am sure to achieve the target on time:)... These kids are very energitic their thirst to know about new things is enormous and unimaginable. In the first visit to the place we were put in situation of interacting with the about 6 deaf and dumb kids... Can you believe they were very interactive and understood things very quickly. But we wont be able to teach these kids as we are not trained for it. But one thing which i learnt is that they do not like to be seperated from the lot, they want to be with every other normal kid and tried to behave like anyone else though they had a bit of difficulty. It was a wonderful feeling to see them win the games :)...
I am looking forward for the treasurable moments am going to gain from these kids in this year. So friends i am very happy and excited when i think about it. I can proudly say that i am a very reponsible adult of mother earth. My prayers for such kids who should be blessed by God to acheive their heart's desire. We are there to help them and am sure They can and they will. Jai Hind!!!
