We worked for a week long i.e. from 4th February to 9th February. We worked in Pratap Nagar Basti and Bambala Puliya Basti. We also worked in our institute. In Pratap Nagar Basti we worked for Only 1 days. In Robin hood army we were total 60 students working in different location. I was assigned to work in Bambal puliya Basti. First day in Bambala Puliya Basti we tried to be familiar with them and also distributed food. So, we asked them what they wanted to do, some of them wanted to study and some liked to play game. So, we divided among themselves. Some volunteers teach them and some are played with children. And of that we asked them who wanted to dance, one girl whose name is Sabnam Khatoon she danced very well. From next day we bought them to our college because there was less space. In college we played with them and also, we teached them. We educate them about hygiene, how much hygiene is important for us. And also, awared them about the education. By showing video in auditorium we educate them about the good touch and bad touch and about the hygiene. We asked them what they learned after watching the video. We also explained that. On 8th February we volunteer with Rima Namhata Ma’am. With ma’am we distributed Cake and Biscuit to Kids.
This weeklong program reminded me that one must not be rich to be able help others, it can also be done by educating them on various parts, i.e. hygiene, importance of education, etc. They are very curious to learn. Whatever we teached they catches very fast. During this whole week I went through a roller coaster of emotions. I got upset when I got to know that many girls cannot study because they have to do household chores. At the same time, I felt happy when a girl told me that she wants to teach children and become a principle one day. First two days went to Basti to brought them to our college. But after two days they came to college itself. They start liking us. When they searched for you that moment was very special. And I am the part of that special moment. One girl her name is Poonam she searches me, where I am. I never forget Sabnam she is very intelligent. She is catches very fast. She bright in study as well as in other activities. She danced very well. There was one boy whose name is Rahul who was vary good in somersault and he also dance very well. I felt immense happiness and satisfaction in meeting those lovely children.
