We Volunteer Workshop......the paper creativity

Success does not come in heaps rather it is achieved with every effort towards a desired goal, no matter how miniscule that effort is. It is the harvest of such moments when a number of hands join together beating with synchronous rhythms in the heart, chant a common melody; a melody so mellifluous and pervasive that it could muffle the cupidity and ignorance of the world.

Another day and yet another feather in the cap of “We Volunteers” and the
“Little Angels.”
We received an overwhelming response to the “We Volunteer Workshop” at the Rose Garden today. Nearly twenty kids joined us at the workshop to learn and implement at the workshop.

The workshop pushed off with a small introduction of the kids. The whole gathering was divided into groups with a ratio of two volunteers to three kids. The things finally fell in order as Preet and Kaval took over their usual supervisor roles:) …Every volunteer who had attended the previous workshop was supposed the demonstrate to the other volunteer in the group and to the kids about the methodology which goes into making a
“Paper Bag”

So here starts the fun………every individual present at the workshop, be it the kid or the volunteer, got so engrossed into the Paper Bag Making that time just flew by( obviously with some exceptions off course….:)

Within a span of two hours, 22 paper bags were made, left drying in the sun. That’s a good target achieved owing to the skill level of both the volunteers and the kids.

So here comes the second set of goods from the We Volunteer Factory:)
We have an order of a thousand such bags from a store……so there’s a long way to go.
At the end of the workshop, some refreshments in the form Samosas were distributed the all in attendance. I wanted Coke too…but Kaval turned my demand down on the pretext of Cola being harmful to health….What Crap!!!....Nobody died of Cola anywhere….besides Milk has Urea too…she still has to give me some satisfactory clarification….:)
Meanwhile, Priyanka noted down the names of the more willing kids in each group and the ones who have the dexterity for Paper Bag making so that we can put the rest to some different projects.

The workshop ended with loads of fun, some elementary teaching and 22 Paper Bags. Yahoooooooooooooo!!!......Well Done Comrades…

Most of the kids will join us tomorrow aswell at our office for some more help with the bags.
A few volunteers went to the office after the workshop for some feedback and deliberate over the day’s event.
With Shyam and Raj showing their Engineering Skills climbed up on the table to put up the very much needed ceiling fan in the Office…Good work guys…really good work…..and ya with Yashodhara at her usual senseless commentary inbetween.
Some more plans and discussions about the plan of action for tomm and nest week, we signed off today’s workshop……….

We Initiate…………………Do You???
