Last day!

23th February 2013

Today was our last visit to Sule High School :(
The lovely time I had in Sule School will be a time that I would never forget.
They taught me so much. They taught me to find happiness in life's small things. They taught me no matter what the situation maybe, always face it with a smile. They also taught me to be responsible. They helped bring out my sensitive side. They also helped me get in touch with my creative side. I learned a lot during these visits. And I will cherish those moments forever.

While going, we donated some toys and chocolates to the school. We thanked the Principal and the teachers for giving us such an wonderful opportunity of interacting with their lovable students. After we donated the things to the school, it was time to say goodbye to the little angels :(
They were pretty sad. So was I! I told them that I would miss them and that I will always remember them.

This experience was very beautiful. I am very lucky to have been given such a wonderful opportunity. 
Till next time :)

Learning Football

16 February, 2013

Today as I entered Sule High School I was greeted with flowers! :)
All the little children came running to me with white jasmine flowers in their hand! It was a beautiful surprise. 
After all the other students arrived, we were told to go to our respective classes. Me and Meghan made our way to the 1st grade. I drew the football field on the board. We then told them how the team scores point and how one is suppose to move around the field.
We then got out on the playground to practice dribbling. We made them stand in a line and taught them the technique of how to kick to ball forward.  I have never been much of a sports person. But after playing football I felt more lively and radiant. I realized that sports are a very integral part of our lives and I should engage myself in such activities. 

When were were standing in the line, the wind was blowing because of which bits of plastic and papers were flying. And these children found it so fascinating that they began to jump and laugh in joy. Their innocence and ability to find happiness in small things made me wonder. I have so much a family, a house and all the possible pleasures anybody could ever ask for and still I ask for more. That is human nature I guess. But from now on, I am going to find happiness is small things. And thank god for bestowing upon me a wonderful and a happy life.
We played for an hour and then decided to call it a day.
It was a truly wonderful day. I taught them to play. And they taught me to see the happiness hidden in life's small, little, everyday things..or I would rather refer to them as gifts. :)
Until next time.. :)

Playing all day long!

2 February, 2013

Reached Sule High School at 9 am looking forward to another wonderful saturday morning ahead of me.. :)

We were accompanied by Savio Sir. We were told that we would be having sports all day long! The children were very happy knowing that they were going to run around playing all day long.
So we got down to the playground. I was suppose to supervise the small girls and was suppose to teach them dog and the bone. In this game, there are two teams. Each member of each team were allotted numbers from 1-6. If the no.6 is called, the member who is allotted the no.6 will come and stand near the napkin. When a signal is given they are suppose to pick up the napkin and run. If the one who picks up the is chased and caught by the rival member, then the rival members team gets a point. And if the one who has picked up the napkin manages to run towards the line of her team, then their team gets a point. 

So started the chase! They were confused and also it was challenging for me to make them understand the game. But after practice they understood it and played it very well. After this almost all of us played fugdi with them. The kids gathered around me and kept pulling my hands and convinced me to play with them. But i was so dizzy from the fugdi that I couldn't stand straight anymore! 
We all had lots of fun and enjoyed our visit there.
Until next time :)
