We are all born free, but unfortunately, at least
some of us spend a lifetime to somebody's or our own false truths. These false
truths spread fast like fire and you know fires rarely die with the first blow;
they only die after many...
One such fire that I could see was in the academic
life of nearly 30-40 students of Thevara school. Being the ones with
appreciable quotient of curricular and extra- curricular talents, they were
stamped dumb and hopeless. Mellowing their sorrows in the beginning seemed antagonistic;
it was like fanning the flames of rage towards anybody who went to teach them.
On rewinding, I feel blessed for I had been a
string of the tuition venture, Educare
initiated in SH. The programme turned to be a noon for the students as well as
the student tutors. This was a responsibility of greater worth and mirth.
Helping those children was like “unlearning and relearning" many a norms
of teaching and learning. Their incessant efforts of becoming a better version
of themselves were the real joy.
Their lack of care and affection and family
background- all reflected the darkness in their results. May be, this is
why any education centre should be just a home to any seeker. Eventually, the
darkness revealed our stars, passing out with flying colours, and the greatest
reward.
“Educare” helped me learn that beautiful flowers
cannot bloom without healthy roots. And, for being a firm root unlocking the
doors of opportunities for everyone involved, I can't thank the parent if this
venture enough! I believe all of us are lamps, inherently capable to lighten
the ways to at least a few, and brighten the deeds.. This was one of the best
experiences that heartian life has gifted me, and I feel, Heartbytes is indeed a platform to remember and revive anything
dusted.
Thank you so much...
It was good to read the note of the rich experience and the novel experiment. I hope this will be further explored and continued. It did make a difference and it can make a difference.
