EMPOWERING THE FUTURE

“Education is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the world”- Nelson Mandela

What can be a better way to start your New Year than distributing knowledge and inspiring the upcoming youth- ‘The Awaaz’ of India, says Ankush, who is an active member of the Social Club, Misb Bocconi.

Tarang Life Care Foundation is one such NGO which spreads the idea of education. Fortunately we, as a part of the social club, had an opportunity to meet the kids, motivate them and guide them. What an overwhelming experience it was!

Here is a brief about out drive -

Early in the morning, we packed all the pens and books which had to be distributed to the kids. We reached the place around 10 AM in the morning and were welcomed with wide smiles. All the kids were well-dressed, disciplined and listened to their teacher enthusiastically. Their energy was infectious, their knowledge was humbling and their interest in knowing minute details was admirable. We spent some quality time them. The group of kids were strategically divided into two sub-groups based on the academic performances: one comprised of scholars and the other of average and younger kids. The scholars were inspired and were given responsibility to teach and take care of the children in the other group. Also, the scholars were awarded with some stationary items to encourage and boost their enthusiasm to achieve better results. Everything was well-organised and well-contributed by each and every person there. Apart from the academics, the kids were also encouraged to nourish their talent.

Following the distribution came the most interesting part - watching kids dance to one of SRK’s song with full energy as if no one was there to see them. They had no boundaries to their freedom and joy unlike the adult of today who is trapped inside four walls which constitute his boundaries.

I seriously hope everyone should take responsibility of providing education to the needy. There is no better way of spreading goodness than educating a child, says Deepthi Bathula, a core committee member of the club.

At the end, the kids were given their homework and allocated responsibilities for the ‘Dabba Party’ organised for the coming Sunday.

Though the time spent was not more than 2 hours, I’ve got memories for life, says Deepthi.

There is something incredibly beautiful about the peace that one finds with the kids.

We thank the Social club for organizing such drives and we hope to continue the same in upcoming weeks.
