Happy Faces : Educational Project.

HAPPY FACES AT KOLIWADA SLUM, SION.


Event Location : Koliwada Slum, Sion, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. 

Event Purpose: Education.

Target: To make kids of English Medium School from Koliwada Slum learn     English in fun manner.

About Event: Purpose was to make them learn basic English words. The first step towards this project was to get a cloth and tie them on the nails there. Four plates were provided which had four primary colors. The kids were given the instructions how they could use those colors. The instructions are as followed,
• Give one word in English which has the color kept in any of the plates.
• Dip your hand in that color and print it on the cloth. 
• You can't repeat words which are used already.

Observations: Kids were so happy to use their hands to print on the wall. Due to the excitement, they started asking people around what do you call this object in English. They discovered new words and were eager to know how to write it down. 

It was a very beautiful experience to teach them and also learn life lessons from them. They taught me how difficulties can be faced with happiness by sharing few stories of their life. Learning has no age. My project also interested elder people to participate.
