Venue : RKM..!
Tring ..tring..time for dne 10 am the session began!
A very serious day ... our kids have their exams knocking at their doors ,and we had an experienced and retired teacher among us to give them ideas on how to face examinations. She started off with how to prepare for the exams .She gave them the following ideas:-
§ Be cool! All izz well!
§ *Subjects to study during morning,noon, evening and night.
§ *Write neatly!coz first impression is the best impression.(though not true in all cases)
§ *Concentrate on the text book information as it helps to learn things from scratch, helps you to give the best and also gives the impression that you know the answers well.
§ *Importance of time management for each paper.
§ *Do not panic during exams coz it does not help you in anyway.
§ *Preparations should be serious work, use colour pens to highlight important information during preparation so that it stays coloured in your memory forever.
§ *Finally, do your best and god will do the rest!
So our guys are off to face it smart and confident! The session was covered by a student from womens Christian college for her project, a documentary.
few of our Volunteers had a short talk with her regarding dne and its functioning.
Mentoring went on for sometime, and everything seemed to be quiet serious today. Totally felt the heat huh?
Winding up session made things more interesting!...next week dne is gonna wind up with this academic year. Discussions were done on how to wind up.ideas came up from everywhere corner and we decided to gift our kids something before they leave..and then we came up with the idea of a card,exam stationery materials and a wrist watch! Cool! We have mentally prepared them to face the exams! Let’s now sit and watch them coming out in flying colours!
Venue: St. George
As is usually the practice at St. George's, the mentors were in front of the
kids' hostel at 9:30 awaiting our precious little demon to come out of their
wonderlands and join us for yet another sunday with a group activity
iterlaced with fun-filled moments. that's when Bhargav, Kenny, Joel and I
started kicking the football around the ground (we were no match for the
kids. but we did manage to get our legs on the ball now and then) while
Vijitha was chatting with Katherine (Kat), Christina and Rachel.
Today Vijitha came up with a game called "Identify Jack the robber" (well at
least that's what i vaguely remember calling it, some of the kids were
reeling out similar names one after the other!!) wherein each person
(mentors included) picked up chits of paper where the following were
written:
(1) Police (2) Jack (3) Associate-1 (4) Associate-2....Associate-n (just
prepare as many chits as there are participants
The games starts off with everyone sittin in a 'round' circle (that was
Damu's phrase!!) facing each other. Then Police announces that he's the boss
while the others keep traps shut. Then Jack winks at each of his associates
without being spotted by Police. Then the associate declares "Received
Signal" (or something wacky) to let the others know that he's been contacted
by Jack, and then leaves the group. One by one the contacted associates
leave the group.
The fewer the associates that escape and sooner that Jack is caught in the
act of winking at his associates, the higher is the Police's score.
