Every one has a soft side which wants to do something in society they live in, but everyone gets tired and busy with their own life that they give least priority to do anything. But if we get an opportunity in our routine life to do something little for society, i'm sure each one of us would love to. Few organizations makes sure to give back something to society in their own way, and i'm so glad to be working for a company which does a lot of community services.
As a community services event i have visited to NGO called Yuvalok for four times now through my company. Few colleagues involve in such event to please managers or to have a break from work. But it is amazingly true that what ever your reason maybe you would end up having "feel good moment" with kids. Me being a person who actively involves in social activities outside my work place, never like to miss any visits to NGO's through company.
Unlike teaching them computers or Mathematics or Science as we had done previously, this time concept was "Fun while learning". We had to come up with ideas on what we should present to kids which will be fun as well as they learn something. We all came up with few fun science experiments/ Geometric symbols/Identifying famous personalities. Made all logistics ready before reaching the venue.
The enthusiasm in those kids is higher each item i have met them; this time was no less. The eagerness in each of them to learn something new and happiness to see people who have come to spend time with them is simply outstanding. Kids were brighter than we expected. They solved Sudoku( which had geometric symbols) with ease, they had surprised look on face when we showed invisible ink experiment. Explained about what are the environmental hazardous wastes and asked them to make paper bags.
Even though it was a one hour session, we tried our best to leave them with positive thoughts and few learning. More than we help kids, we will be helping ourselves relieve our stress and have satisfaction.
oh well i titled this blog "Visit to Happy World" because at the end of day all you have is a big smile on your face :)
