DESIGN FOR CHANGE- SCHOOL CHALLENGE

JOY OF GIVING 3rd Sept.2012 To 8th Sept.2012

DAV Public School, Kansbahal took up the project ‘GIVE A SMILE- BRING JOY’ from 3-9-12 to 8-9-12

as a part of “ DESIGN FOR CHANGE- SCHOOL CHALLENGE” conceptualized and promoted by

‘RIVERSIDE’ to mark the celebration of ‘JOY OF GIVING’ week in the world. The initiative was taken

by the Principal Mrs. Rashmi Mishra, DAV Public School, Kansbahal.

To conduct the program systematically 40 students of class-VIII and class-IX (Odia medium) were

divided into five groups with five leaders under the supervision of teachers. The project ‘GIVE A

SMILE- BRING JOY’ was conducted on following dates as per the program chalked out.

3rd September, 2012

The students had a meeting with the mentor teacher and had a discussion about some community

problems that bother them. They decided to do something for the under privileged kids. So they

had a visit to a nearby rural Govt. Primary school. With the permission of the authority of that

school they interacted with the children and found almost all the kids are from very poor socio-

economic background.

3rd September, 2012

The student leaders were:-

1. AnuragXalxo

2. SushantaSahani

3. ManjulaTirkey

4. Lipismita Patel

5. BabitaRajbhor

The student leaders had a discussion with their mentor teacher Miss SubhadraPattnaik how to

bring some change for those under privileged kids. Again they had a visit to that school, had a

discussion with the school authority and interacted with the kids. They found the kids are deprived

of some basic needs like pencil, rubber, pencil box, tiffin, toys etc. So they decided to share their

own things and bring some happiness to those small kids.

4th September, 2012

The students made beautiful charts and posters displaying their thoughts and feelings, went to

that primary school, played with the students and shared their tiffin.

5th September, 2012

Students shared their tiffin with the kids, conducted games for them and gave them prizes

purchased with their small amount of pocket money.

6th, September, 2012

Students shared their tiffin with the kids and played with them for some time.

7th September, 2012

Students collected pens, pencils, rubbers, and toys from their friends and packed them in their

handmade boxes and wrapped them with colour papers. To each and every kid of that Gualapara

Govt. U. P. School they presented those beautiful gifts, shared their tiffin and brought a lot of joy

for them.

8th September, 2012

The kids of the Gualapara U. P. School were eagerly waiting for the students of DAV Public School.

Again they shared their tiffin and had a lot of fun with them. The kids’ joys knew no bound. The

students of DAV Public School also had a unique experience of ‘Joy of sharing and caring’.
