Sneha Orphanage
On Sunday we visited the orphanage with new
learning activities for the children and for ourselves. Our main goal was to spend quality time with the kids and
get to know the orphanage more. For starters we provided the children
some milk packets and we thought this would be the best choice for them because
most kids like milk. Then we started on our activities and our main objective was ‘how can we become creative.’ We basically separated
the nursery kids and the little kids into groups. For the nursery kids we gave blank
paper, glue and magazine papers to make collages
and for the little kids we gave blank papers to get them busy drawing whatever that came into their minds.
This activity was a big success because most of kids learnt how to draw new
pictures and everyone loved drawing, this means we provided them with an activity they love. This shows we are thoughtful at initiating activities. Towards the
end we gave the nursery kids play dough. Reflecting
back, play dough activity was a success because the kids loved it. Therefore
we decided to do the same activity again. The excitement in their eyes was
amazing.
During
this activity we learnt anger management.
Since the kids loved the activities they were hyper throughout. it was hard for
us to control them. To overcome with problem Ashwini and I helped each other
by taking care of the kids. For example if Ashwini couldn’t handle then I would
be strict with the kids by being strict. Ashwini would show the kids how to
draw new pictures. This kept them silent and more observed.
