CONVERSATION WITH VILLAGERS

On reaching kaniyal village,i along with the group thought to converse with villagers.So i had dialogue with Kala and her neighbours, who seemed to be happy with her life .I asked them many questions such as their occupation,their daily schdule,their requirements,their way of using things.they answered all questions.Initially they were not interested or were hezitated,but as i started talking repectfully and in their way , they felt that i am not stranger insted i am like their family member.I sat down beside them and politely asked everthing like what she does everyday ,so they answered that grass cutting,cooking,feeding cows,wood cutting,pouring seeds in soil,making use of cowdung,washing utensils.She even told me that there is soil degradation due to which only few vegetables can be grown and because of this most of the vegetables are purchased.Kala showed me her house,cows and allowed me to feed her cows.she also told me that she uses technology such as television,mobilephone.She told me that her daughter got marrried at age of sixteen,so i felt sad about it but then she was leaning till the time she was not married so i was satisfied with it.She asked me about my marriage so i felt that now she got mixed up with me and was happy to talk to me.I learned that everyone search for the person like oneself,and if they get little of similar person ,they interact will and like each other and thats why she showed me her house and asked me for tea and food.I was very much succesful without having much difficulty as i interacted well with her and i learned that i am capable of talking and making a stranger a kind of friend by beinglike them such as normal person and by not showing high class or attitude.Although i lovve to be simple ,i never pretend nor i show off as i know that these are the critaria by which i can have a good relation.I felt that i was able to have healthy conversation with them.

TREKKING TO KANIYAL VILLAGE

trekking was of eight kilometre,this time way was more risky as it was surrounded by forest and hills and if one slip then he/she will fall directly and chance of being saved were less.This time walking with group was again challenging,but because of everyone's co-operation and proper behaviour,we reached kaniyal village properly and safely.I felt i was not able to breathe properly and i was breathing through mouth and i was exhausted alot and i lost hope also of walking more.But taking rest in between of walk and by having water ,i completed my walk and reached Kaniyal village.On coming back,one of the member of group fell,but because of guidance of one of my group's member,she was able to come back.So I learned that co-operation and good behaviour makes situation easier.

TREKKING OF TEN KM

As i stated ,i was lacking in stamina.My group and i were made to walk for 10 km ,ihoped to learn many things such as walking for such large distance,walking in group,walking through the different kind of way such as plain road,stairs. As i was walking ,i felt walking in group is not easy as everyone's way of walking and speed is different.So if some student are way behind ,then others need to wait for them to join and then walk further. This walk has instlled lot may qualities in me such as how to be with the group,when to take rest , how to walk with young children.,what things are required on walk and how to make use of them.It also gave me idea of how one can behave while walking.This activity has been beneficial for me as this has affected my stamina and has made my body to get used to such walk.This has been beneficial to other people in my group in terms of stamina,learning things like how to behave on road while walking with others and strangers.I can apply this to my daily routine such as now i can walk rather using vehicle for nearby distance and can help environment by less polluting .

FIRST CHALLENGE ,ON REACHING MANALI

On reaching manali, i was supposed to reach camp site by walk along with the rucksack .Since this was the first day, i felt it was challenging for me as the way was not like a plain road but was like hilly way with lot of stones in the way.I was getting tired alot after every two minutes of walk and i knew that there was no choice for me,so i need to walk.Seeing other students and my sir,i increased my confidence and walked by drinking water and reached the camp site. I was succesful in reaching camp site as i did not fall nor i suffered from injury,it was just I was lacking in walk because of my low stamina.I hoped that my stamina will increase in next few days of trip. I felt that i am capable of walking such kind of way but as my stamina will increase ,i will not be tired so much and can walk more comfortably and easily and tiredness is one of the obstacle that restrict one to walk further.

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.

EVERYDAY MORNING EXCERCISE

Morning exercise was very much effective.i along with my other group were made to do various exercises.Few exercise,i already knew as i used to do in Jim.Before doing exercise i used to feel tired ,pain in my toes ,laziness,But as sir guided and made us do exercise,i used to get energy back,pain and laziness used to get lost and i felt relaxed.Initially i felt a little shy but then i realized that everyone is doing so why shall i feel shy and then i also did exercise with full energy,enthusiasm,happiness.This exercise has been very beneficial as this prepared me for further walk and made my body temperature suitable to the environment of manila,this helped me to survive cold.i can apply this activity to my daily routine as this will keep me fit and will prevent me from various factors such as loosing energy.

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
