After a successful first batch, we were teeming with more ideas... and this deep urge to REACH OUT!
And so started the sessions at Muktangan, an NGO working with the children of government run municipal schools.
A lot of time spent contemplating on whether we would need to conduct the session in Hindi and on our own ability to transform words like Camouflage to Chalavaran... We reached Muktangan to find the kids fluent in the Queen's language. It is so heartening to see how the schools and teachers have adapted themselves to newer forms of teaching.
Its been an eye-opener - the refreshing change in outlook, and the enthusiasm to learn; a challenge tailoring ourselves and the topics to appeal and enchant the young kids. It's been a lot of fun working with these kids and discovering a new part of ourselves.
It is indeed remarkable to see such a wonderful initiative being taken to ensure that kids go beyond the textbook curriculum and learn to develop the spirit of enquiry!! Well done guys and gals!
