RKM - 20th Feb 2011

Picture perfect indeed! Rightly put by Yeshwanth..

It was rather sad that a few mentors and mentees missed out today’s session..The reason for the mentees was actually acceptable; They had to go receive awards somewhere..But Mentors??

                Regardless….An ideal day yet again.. Proud of the way we are rolling..KUDOS DnE =) The Bench marks are being raised week and week again. It goes beyond mention how talented and surprising the kids are proving to be. Wooooo..Imagine 16 year olds cracking a solution to a Management activity.. Awesome uh ? An activity brought up yet again by our very own Madav. The activity was called “MAGIC TILES” where in the kids had to cross 20 people in their team using just 6 tiles in 10mins ONLY.. (Scenario: The place is on fire and they have to rely on the tiles to cross the length of the hall on.. The catch - avoid any part of your body touching the flaming ground!!!) All kinds of techniques and strategies were implemented and TADAAAAA all 20 got through even before 10mins..! 

          

 Mentoring was up next. Discussions were again on their exams. A few mentors personally provided hands on help with their subjects. In today’s case it was Math the following day. A few others helped them structure their study time. A few mentees were so engrossed interacting and working their hearts out with the mentors that even when we wanted to call it a day for them, they actually said they wanted to STAY..WOW! Yet another sign of how well Dronas are performing and connecting with the mentees.

Now now now.. LC.. This was when tensions heated up a little, a few confrontations, a few REALIZATIONS and a few ‘To-Do things’ were brought up after Parthiban and family had their creative-‘no video’ oriented LC on ‘CREATIVITY’. The session ended with mixed emotions( hopefully positive...Right Dronas??).

 FINALLY.. ‘A BIG WELCOME TO OUR 4 NEW VOLUNTEERS’ WELCOME ABOARD. WE ARE GLAD AND THRILLED TO HAVE YOU IN!  =) =)
