Crisp Write-up by Volunteeer Viswanath:
After a quick journey starting here from Chennai, we arrived at the school where the distribution of school kits and various other activities were planned. Saraswathi Vidya Mandir-Vanavasi Seva Kendram, A school with 350 children and 25 teachers to support and guide them through the process of Education and Growth. To brief the tribal village in which the school is situated, Karumandurai has around 10,000 tribal children deprived of Education and memorable childhood. Saraswathi Vidya Mandir, an initiative by Vanavasi Seva Kendram accommodates and educates its students with only 9 class rooms and irregular hostel facilities.
The Youth for Seva team rushed upon their work immediately after reaching the spot wherein the school kits were first distributed. 350 school kits here at Karumandurai and another 200 kits to its primary block situated in Navampattu.
As soon as the distribution was over, the initiative of forming Social Clubs were put forth by the YFS. Eco Club, Creativity Club, Speak-Out Club, Education Club and Computer Club had about 20 students each belonging to 8th or 9th grade. It should be stressed upon that the students were hyper active with excitement and joy sensing that they were about to start something practical which they have only seen in their textbooks so far.
The YFS team had 15 members who divided themselves each 3 to guide a particular Club activity. Computer Club earned the utmost attraction by students as that was the first time they actually operated one. Creativity Club made an outstanding effort in sparking a thought within the student community to Think Out of the Box.
Education Club made a sincere effort to stress the importance and persuasion of higher studies drawing a neat outline of the current Education system in India.
Speak-Out Club achieved a fantastic set of students who were initially shy to come out and spill their thoughts and opinions.
Eco Club was a success in making children learn the aspect of conserving the green environment they live and the importance of its preservation for the next generation.
On
a closing note, this whole initiative was a success and the YFS team were too
smart to create a lasting impact on these children in a single day!
