Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.
Henry Ford
This quote brought a big difference in my thinking. I was very happy when, we planned our new task of going to Vidharbh Vanvasi Ashram and teaching kids. We consulted the authority and told them about our plans. The authority got impressed and asked us to start as soon as possible. They were very happy and praised us for doing such a good job. They consulted about the timing as they were more concern for us and were having no problem in any time. After our discussion we came to conclusion of coming every week which was Saturday 12 noon. After all this I was very eager to meet them. I started thinking that the children will be of grade 3rd, 4th and 5th.
When I went to Vidharbh Vanvasi Ashram I was shocked to see that my students Veer and Raja were of 12th and 11th respectively. I introduced myself and started to know, how much they knew about English. So, that I get some clue on how much they know? Here, I learnt to explain and got to know what difference it makes to them. In this competitive world I will help them to progresses.
I started with the basics and taught them to greet and introduce themselves. I faced problem when I was unable to explain them some meanings and then I explained them from pictures. I also gave them some ideas about the functioning of laptop. They both were happy as their face were glowing.

It is a good start to your service activity. Keep the momentum going. Remember, as their teacher, you have to keep motivating them, arousing their interest with innovative things. Do mention in your reflections the difficulties that you surmounted and what are your future plans for them.
