A day with BMC students at Kalaghoda Festival

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn – Benjamin Franklin

My name is Utkarsha.Sanjay Thakur and I am a part of the NSS unit of Ruia college. I got an opportunity to be a volunteer for the Kalaghoda festival on February 6th by CACR (Citizens Association for Child Rights). Students had participated for both February 6th and February 7 workshops.

This was my first experience to work as a volunteer for CACR.  CACR is an institution which work for the betterment of children’s from BMC schools and their rights for education.

  BMC schools students from different BMC schools had participated in the workshops organised in this festival that would help them develop their social skills and learn new things. Students were provided with snacks and other things by CACR.

My role as a volunteer was to take care and help these students in understanding the workshop activities. Some were facing communication problems due to language barrier and it was my duty to help them overcome it.

It was great to see all the students enjoying these activities, learning from it and getting an opportunity to visit the Kalaghoda festival. It was fun an exciting experience for me as well. The smiles on their faces made me happy.

CACR is doing a good job by initiating all these activities for the BMC students. It gives them a platform to be a part of these festivals organised in Mumbai, develop social skills by working and communicating with students from schools all over Mumbai and also learn different things.

 By making them participate in such activities, CACR and the schools are giving them confidence to compete on a bigger level in the future.

I hope CACR keeps on doing this work and give every BMC student a chance to be part of such events and activities.

 I am looking forward to be part of more such activities and help in empowering BMC schools.

Thank you CACR for giving me such a great experience!
