Dear All
Well on 29th of November ( Wednesday) we all started our first mission of social service in Baroda.
So i thought to share with all of you the experience of the same
Its an orphanage near Rhino Circle, with a total strength of 94 children ranging from 4th class to 12th class students.This was first time in my life i ever visited an orphanage-the home of those few unlucky kids who have lost their most precious gift of mother nature-PARENTS. Well to my surprise the orphanage was well maintained with a hostel , mess-cum TV room , their classrooms, a carpentry shop and few other traditional learning job learning shops for them.
The Co-ordinator of the orphanage was very supportive , just one big problem we faced and that was of communication --We are not well conversant with Gujarati and Co-ordinator of the orphanage didn't understand Hindi well. But i feel gradually this can be resolved out.
Our AIM:-
With a firm belief on one basic philosophy that if Nature snatches some thing from us he surely gives some thing in place of that and in case of orphans the most precious gift Parents have been taken away so its for sure that they must be blessed with some thing very extra-ordinary . Now our aim to diagnose that Hidden talent and nurture them in that particular direction so as to get Next_Gen- Tansen, Leanardo da Vinci, Sachin, Kishore Kumar...etc the Talented Persons. ofcourse they will continue with their regular studies
Approach:
So in order to find out the talent its imperative that we must intermingle with these kids and gradually try to find out whats special in them. So for this through various small steps say through inspiring movies , small games, quizzes etc we have planned to move and our major step will be their counselling session in which we will prepare the complete Plan for their future growth in the area of the Talent.
After this complete planning phase possible comes the most important thing-the
IMPLEMENTATION -
What i have thought of is if we can associate these kids say some one is having good voice with an expert of singing and funds be diverted over his/ her development in this particular field we Will be soon able to ensure this talent being nurtured up and if every thing goes right we will get Jewels for Humanity with superb creativity in their domain.
Now tomorrow ( 9/12/06) ( Saturday) we are going there with three-four members , our plan for tomorrow is to start the interaction with them through a movie and after much deliberation we have finalised movie "Iqbaal" and then we will have informal chit-chat session with them.For removing out the barrier of language our team will comprise of Mr. Harit- first yearite (he is fluent in gujarati and also he is working with great devotion in Surat's orphanages)
Lets hope for the best.....
The Journey has begun....still long miles to go......
Do let me know about your feelings and i will be waiting for your valuable suggestions
Keep Smiling And Spread Happiness

Sharda is a great social personality in the making. At the age of 22, I find him totally different than the urban Indian youth. full of energy, confidence, simplicity, and a desire to excell in whatever he does. His flair for social work should culminate into a meaningful experiment of reformation. I wish him all the best.
