Every individual has his/her responsibility
towards the society where they live. Most of us keep cribbing about the wrong
practices followed by the members of the society but only few have the courage
to take corrective measure because it takes lot of courage and patience.
Many MNC today are actively
promoting CSR in their campuses and encourage their employees to participate in
it actively. Nobody is forced for such activities people do it voluntarily. CSR
activities could be visiting old age homes, no plastic day, using public
transport to commute to work on a particular day, marathons to name a few.
My office Summit HR took us to a
school for giving a session on importance of Hygiene in an individual’s life. Session was for students of class IV & V. When
we were heading towards the class for the session, students started greeting us
with “Good afternoon sir”. It was a pleasant experience for us.
Students were highly enthusiastic
about the session as they has 3 new faces (myself, Badri & Nikhil) apart
from their regular instructor. Students wanted us to introduce our self before starting
the session and requested our active participation in it. We obliged to it. We
wanted students to speak more and share their views on this topic rather than
us making the first move.
Students were brilliant and responded
very well to the topics covered in the session. As part of the program,
students were divided into groups and asked to enact a skit on any one of the
topics covered during the session. Within a span of 3 min, students were ready
with the skit and performed on themes beyond our imagination.
Then came the most exciting part
of the session a game about which me and badri had no clue but Nikhil was aware
about it. Students wanted us also to be a part of the game, we participated in
it actively. This game took us to our school days. Finally it was time to say
bye to kids, they has requested us to visit them for the next session, we will
try our level best for it.
It was a mind refreshing session
for all of us. We laughed to the fullest keeping all tensions at bay. For some moments
we became kids with the students.
Would like to thank Dream a Dream
and Nikhil for organizing the session for us and hope it continues near future
as well.
