YARD SALE

Today i am taking the first step towards my initiative for the yard sale at friendicoes(an animal shelter). I will be receiving donations from people for the sale and have the sale around the 20th of October. The people i will include in my activity are Rhea, Anah and Avanti. They will help get donations and set up.

PEACE DAY

My initiative for now is organizing the peace  day in school for the 27th of september with Rhea and Harit. We are planing activities for the entire school for the day and making a powerpoint presentation on all the activities done that day.

The day was tiring and exciting. I organized every act and timed the classed for their performances. I was co-compare with Saahas. I also wrote a poem on Gandhi which is on my other blog. We definitely showed the entire school the meaning of peace in our own little way and hope to have made even a slight difference in the perspective of out fellow student today. We spoke to students from "Devki Arya Putri Paatshala" in Kashmir to see what kind of conditions they live and and if they differ from ours. Turns out, they are not allowed outside their houses ever. If they are found outside then they get arrested by the authorities. It was a girls school and so they did not even associate with boys. They were having a lot of electricity cuts due to the riots and 'bands' all over Kashmir so they were having trouble even taking classes in school. It really gives you alot to think about when you find out that things like this actually happen and its just not in movies and books. It was amazing experience to get the opportunity to talk to some of these girls and i'm glad to have taken this initiative. 

MEWAT

we went to mewat to teach the children there and basically show them a good time. They were very excited to see us. It was encouraging for us to know how happy they were to have us. I was in the art group and we tought them to paint with Bindi and patatoes. I also tought them how to make boats out of paper and put all of their creations on chart paper for them to see.After the activities we gave them all tang. it took them a while to open up to us but  when they did we realized we were giving them a great day and that made it an even greater day for us.
