SERVING FOOD EVERY AFTERNOON

Serving food was one of the activity that I along with my group performed everyday in afternoon.I along my group thought to do some some service so we decided to serve food every afternoon by the permission of camp incharge. I served chapatti along with the plate and spoon. Initially I used to serve one chapatti at one time but in few days I came to know the diet of various people so then I started serving according to it. I have been very much successful in serving as I served to everyone with smile and always welcomed people happily. There were no complaints from anyone, so I feel I was successful in serving properly. I learned how to serve so many people and how to be while serving. Actually I already felt that I can serve food to people because I have habit of doing this in many functions which used to be at my home and many people used to visit.I felt my group members were also involved actively in the activity.

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

Reflection on visit to oldage home

This time, I worked collaboratively with Abhilash. Initially, we interacted with old men. We narrated them the story and showed few pictures. These old men were very much happy to see us with them. They were very comfortable to interact with us, they told us that they do enjoy be with us and they do want us to come every time to meet them.


Then after meeting with these people, we went to meet old women. There was one woman, who was constantly asking me to be with her. We all sat together and had conversation about the movie,' dhobi ghat'. This movie tells us a lot the city Mumbai.

The learning outcome is that I become of my skill of interaction with this old handicapped people. I took a new challenge, which gave me chance to acquire the knowledge about the emotions and situations that these old people go through. The ethical implication involved in this activity is that, this activity has given chance to help people, who really require happiness. I have tried them to tell good and current scenario through songs, stories and news.

WORKED AS A CO-ORDINATER IN WOCKHATHON, ORGANISED BY WOCKHARDT HOSPITAL

Walkathon was a walk to promote healthy living, This event took place in Kasturchand park on 29thNovember 2009, So my work was to help people in doing registration and ensuring that they walk properly in line.

Before the walk has started, I distributed water bottles and T-shirts to all the participants. I ensured everyone gets the chance to fill the forms for registration even advised people for not throwing things while walking or inside the park.

As participants were back from walk, they were hungry so I was providing them with food by giving packet of snacks to each participant. This activity has given me real task as its not easy to attend everybody at a time as lot of patience is also required as every person react in different manner but I would like to that marketing manger of hospital who allowed me to work with them. I have learned that people are conscious about their health and they love to take part in such events.

The learning outcome is that I bcome aware about my skill of handling and coordinating the event. I learned how to take initiative and work collabaratively with the other members of the event. The ethical implication involved in this activity is that people came to know the importance of walking. They understood that walking is very necessary to get rid of health- related problems.

REFLECTION ON TEACHING STUDENTS OF ASHRAM

This time, My classmates and I were accompanied by our Hindi teacher,Miss. Vijayalaxmi Kanate. As I have already decided to proceed with the same profit and loss lesson, I gave them the brief explanation on what I taught them last time and then I taught them the next topic about how to deal with word problems.

Initially, I told them to read question twice and understand the key words used in the question such as selling price, cost price, per kilogram and amount of profit or loss and also what the question is asking. I told them to write the information, which is given in the question first and then start solving.

     There were questions in their textbooks, which were simple and direct such as cost price and selling price were given and one was supposed to find loss or profit. But still, understanding question is big deal as my students were finding little difficulty to understand and write in the proper format. So I dictated them the requirement and method according to question. I wrote in their notebook the format also so that they can refer to it while solving the questions.

   Then after solving few questions, I taught them a Hindi lesson about ‘Happy Family’. And then I gave them some questions based on it.

This time, their response was better than last time and I felt now they were much comfortable with the profit and loss lesson.

I learned that practice and understanding are two major issues while dealing with questions. Since, this profit and loss unit is large, I will continue with it for next time also.

REFLECTION ON TEACHING STUDENTS OF ASHRAM

This time, my classmates and I were accompanied by our IB coordinator, Mr. Shiv Santosh Jha. This time, I had planned to proceed with the same lesson on profit and loss but as one of my students went to his place, I could not continue with it.

So I taught the other student Hindi grammar such as types of noun, pronoun and adjectives. Basically I taught him the way of identifying the noun, pronoun and adjectives with its type in a sentence. First I asked him, what is noun, pronoun and adjectives. He answered correctly for noun but he was confused about how to explain the difference between pronoun and nouns. He was even confused about exactly is adjectives.

So I felt that I should start with basic explanation of noun, pronoun and adjectives and then I should teach him the types of it.

Then I explained him with examples such as I told him that if I use his name in a sentence such as Sandeep is going to a park then ‘Sandeep’ is a noun and If I say the same sentence such as he is going to a park then that ‘ he ‘is a pronoun. Similarly I explained him the adjectives with an example of sandeep is walking slowly so ‘slowly’ is an adjectives. Then after this, I proceeded for types of it and taught him the types with examples.
I feel Sandeep is always eager to learn new things and he enjoys learning. Whatever I teach him, he always gives his response to it. This time also after explanation, I gave him sentence for identification of noun, pronoun and adjectives. So he was able to identify all of them. So I liked it.

I learned that one should teach or learn basic meanings first and then move to types or else learning and teaching of types becomes difficult.
