CREATING FIRST NEWSLETTER OF DY PATIL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL , NAGPUR

Our first activity of CAS was Newsletter .Through Newsletter; we wanted to spread awareness about, what is happening in school, views of teachers and students. We were successful in creating newsletter by the help of every student and guidance of our supervisor. Each student had their own duties, which they fulfilled as per requirement. Being an interviewer, I felt questions should be given a day before of interview as this provides teachers time to answer questions more efficiently. While taking interview, I came to know about views of headmaster and other DP teachers. It gave an idea what exactly teachers felt about school. Basically I took the interview David Udry, who is our headmaster and Anil kashyap, who teaches us TOk. This duty gave me chance to express and handle the responsibilities. This interview has been great help in a way to act as a professional interviewer in future. Through Newsletter, awareness has been created not only among students and teachers but also among outsiders

HELPING IN VIVEKANAND HOSPITAL TO PREGNANT WOMEN

For the service work in the hospital, I was placed in the maternity ward, where pregnant or women with new born babies were taken care of. This was the first time that I was meeting all these women under such conditions, so it was very essential to first talk to them.

I circulated among them and talked to almost every patient in Marathi although my command over the language was poor. Still I felt that by I was talking in Marathi, I could bond with them much more as they started seeing me as their friend or well-wisher. I liked the way they responded to me .I helped one woman in having cough syrup and water. Basically I started looking after the baby and let the woman sleep very well.

I also learned lot many things like how woman feel after pregnancy and how their relatives respond, what is their mental status after delivering the baby. I learned how people who do not belong to very rich family cope up during such occasions and how to behave with them in order to make them feel good.

CANDLE MAKING IN SCHOOL

Candle making is a new activity that I have learned. This activity involved everyone and has given the chance to work all together. Work was almost divided but everybody made their own candle. Actually this activity has cleared my doubt about boiling of wax as I was thinking to directly boil wax in water but as I did activity I realized that double boiling is required for melting wax. It was little risky as this was supposed to be done on burner but we all enjoyed it. Then we poured this melted wax along with the string in greased containers and kept for solidification. This activity was successful as it was solidified properly within proper shape and can be sold out to people in good price. Since we are intending to sell these candles to people, the money which will be collected will be given in charity for needy people so this will again help people to have food, clothes. I have learned that when work is done collaborate it becomes easy and enjoyable and it also gives us chance to know each others capabilities

COLLECTION OF CLOTHES FOR NEEDY PEOPLE

Wockhardt Hospital has been collecting woolen clothes for poor people to save themselves from this winter. So I have collected the clothes from the school and my neighbors and handed to marketing manager of hospital who will further take this collection to poor people. I announced in the school that I am making collection of clothes so kindly bring it; I went around the school and made students write in their diary about collections of clothes, so that they can show this to their parents and their parents contribute efficiently. This activity took me around five days as I was trying to have good collection of clothes. So I collected around fifty clothes .This activity has helped people who lack in having woolen clothes and I have seen that people do not contribute efficiently so it is very hard to make them understand the need of these people. Although I would appreciate the contribution from Rani, who is student of MYP has contributed in large number and I wish I would have got some more students like her. This activity was done only by me under the guidance of supervisor and marketing manager of Wockhardt Hospital
