MOTHER’S PET KINDERGARTEN (Sadar) DESIGN FOR CHANGE PROJECT 2011

INTRODUCTION

What change can 4 & 5 year olds bring about ? What affects these KG II Children ?

Choosing a topic relevant for them and something child-related was the real challenge for the kindergarten teachers. How do we infect them with the “I CAN” bug ?Teachers brainstormed.

We decided lets begin right here right now .The major concern was the dustbins overflowing with leftover food after break time.

Children from affluent families who never knew hunger! Children who were not aware that many do not have a basic meal a day. Thus emerged “FOOD FOR THOUGHT, THOUGHT FOR FOOD”!

The next step was making them aware of HUNGER.

IMAGINECIRCLE TIME SESSION [VALUING OF FOOD]

The energiser to trigger the topic was 'baking a pizza'.

The children sat in a big circle, but only half the children in the circle mimed the action of eating a real pizza and relishing it too. While the other half did not get the chance to eat and their faces became sad. The urge to eat the pizza was clearly seen on their faces. So the teacher asked the children, “How did you feel?” The answer was “very hungry”. Then the teacher said, “Close your eyes and imagine the people who don't even get one time meal to eat.” There was a sudden change in their expressions and the feel of hunger was apparent on their faces.

Do our children know what is hunger ? We then discussed the topic “Food”. Points emphasized: ALakhs of children do not get food. A It is a sin to waste food. A Let us give food to those who need it.

ACTION PLAN Circular on ‘wastage of food’ released to the entire school(900) Children)

Mother's Pet Kindergarten Notice- 16.9.11

Dear Parents,

The school would like to be a part of the 'Design for Change' challenge conducted annually by Riverside School , Ahmedabad. Children and adults learn through this challenge that “I CAN” are the two most powerful words a person can believe. We want parents, teachers and children to celebrate the fact that change is possible and that our children can lead the change!

Our slogan for the challenge is “ Food for Thought and Thought for Food”.

We intend to tackle the problem of food, highlighting a very important aspect, 'Wastage of food'. The brainstorming in the classes has already begun. The campaign will go ahead in the full steam in the coming days. The idea is not to adopt this only for the contest but ingrain the thought deeply in the child so that it becomes a habit.

We need your co-operation for some of the activities to be conducted in the school and outside.Kindly talk to your child about not wasting food so that all of us are the CHANGE.We welcome suggestions and creative inputs from parents to make it more productive. Please contact the Vice-Principal Mrs Gauri Javery or the Co ordinator Mrs. Sunita Nabira.

We delayed break time by an hour for the entire week so that they could understand and FEEL what hunger actually is.

VISIT TO OUR CENTRE POINT SCHOOL FOR A WEEKDay 1 – Day 5Action Plan:

Day - 1 Our children addressing the assembly of 2500 children, where they delivered their concern on 'Wastage of food' very very impressively. Points emphasized: A Do not carry excess food A Tell mummy to pack just enough food. A No leftovers please………….. A Leftovers to be given to those who needed.

Page 22: Mother's Pet School

Day - 2Our tiny squads of 4-5 children in group were spread in the school campus during break time to inspect the degree of practice of the message given in the assembly.It was a gloomy experience to witness food still being wasted and the leftover being thrown in the school premises.Their next move was to collect the food the children did not want, and the entire collection was donated to the poor people who are deprived of even a single meal a day. This continued for two days.

Day – 3

Our tiny squads were ready again to inspect the children of Centre Point during break time.Surprisingly the amount of food left over in the tiffin was much less. Children willingly gave their leftovers for donation.

Day – 4

Again the children were on rounds and when they went collecting food, they could hardly find any leftovers as most of the children finished their tiffins and those who didn't finish carried the left over home promising that they would finish it in the next meal. Our little social workers were quite elated to see the change made by them. break time.

JOY OF GIVING

After the contribution of our school staff, since it was the onset of Joy of giving week from 2nd October- 8th October we tried to incorporate a selfless effort of seeking joy, by giving and making it a delightful experience for our little social workers.

Their tiny footing never stopped……. It stepped ahead to celebrate the 'Joy of giving week' by the children who willingly contributed various things like- toys, books, shoes, clothes, crayons, food items and food grains. They went forward to places like orphanage, slums, missionaries and remand homes. We also tried to bring a smile on the faces of the children living on streets.
