Volunteers experience @ UJJWAL

Ujjwal---- bright…..a step further by HERMITINDIA.ORG- It’s all about making a difference.

It was in every sense of the term a bright, shining and a positive day….as WHEN IT COMES TO EXPRESS MY exact emotions I always fall short of words … but I would like to share my experience with Hermitindia.org at Ujjwal on a brief note ………

The main purpose of Hermitindia.org was to spend a day with the most innocent souls…to bring a smile to their faces and make them jovial by the end of the day so that it turns out to be an unforgettable time spent together by both Hermitindia.org Volunteers as well as the kids…and last but not the least but to make them realize about their own capabilities or potential through a series of fun filled activities… The events :-

1. Waste Material Workshop:- All the children very dedicatedly participated in the workshop and learnt how they could use the waste material, the dry leaves, the straws.. to make posters …

2. Play with waste competition:- The children were divided into groups so that they could understand the value of teamwork and still show their best work..the atmosphere was filled with liveliness…sitting with them and helping them in mixing colours,cutting straws,hinting them wat colour pattern is best suited for their poster .. was so much fun….and reminded me of my school days..and when the final worksheets were displayed on the wall(WALL OF FAME )…it looked like an art gallery by some budding talents ….

3. Clay workshop and Play with Clay competition:- Children were divided into the groups and they made very good shapes and structures with clay.

4. Concentration building Workshop:- Clap and don’t clap…..this was the most exciting activity and even I wanted to be a part of it …but it was an activity aimed to build children’s concentration power in a playful mood …and we could see them having a gala time during this…and similarly the left hand and right hand activity made them enjoy to the fullest ..

5. Cultural program– As they say the best is saved for the last …. Hermit India had the best planned for its last activity of the day –THE CULTURAL PROGRAMME…..all the kids were made to sit in the amphitheatre and the stage was all set for our artists, who were no less than the superstars of India and can give them a run for their money ...summer salts, Punjabi moves and some hard steps by the kids stunned us. The music started and the stage was set on fire by the kids from age 8 to age group 15…the only sound we could hear was of the dance numbers and the sound of applause and whistles from our Hermit India Volunteers to encourage the young talent.

All in all It was beautiful and an unforgettable day for all the Hermit India Volunteers and specially for me because it was my first event with them a day when actually my life, my day, my hours, my minutes and my seconds got a meaning and when the Human Efforts Reaching To Meeting Incredible Triumph. Hermitindia.org got a fruitful result ...as the aim of the event was successfully achieved...
