·         Spiritual Happiness

As amma says “Happiness is surrendering to god.” we surrendered ourselves to the love and gratitude shown by those little hearts that were surrounding us.

·         The meaning of education

We learnt that just the way happiness doubles on sharing the thought, the value of our knowledge grows enormously when we share it with others.

8.       OBSTACLES FACED:

9.       TOTAL MAN HOURS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT:

1        ROAD AHEAD:

As a part of our future plan, we thought we would visit the village every six months and meet those little children that we taught. We thought of giving them some training as to how to excel in their field. We want to teach them the “CONTRIBUTOR” way of life. They weren’t aware of how to operate computers, so we would love to teach them the necessary skills in needed in computing for survival. We also took permission from the principals and headmasters, they agreed to let us take sessions like this whenever we are free.

            ROSES AND THORNS:

Our experience in doing this social responsibility project was amazing. It made us realise what is means to be a contributor. It was a truly sublime experience. We never could have imagined that we would be able to do this much in such a short time. We were able to interact with many children, learn their dreams and help them take a step forward towards their dreams. We are still ecstatic about the fact that we would visit them every six months to see how much they have achieved and would love to clear their doubts about anything.
