CRY Volunteers North

Since the past couple of weeks, computer sessions for the underprivileged kids have been underway in Dakshinpuri, where students from classes 3-10 are learning the basics of computers - including basic knowledge of computer hardware and typing and formatting in MS Word. Every volunteer takes two sessions, and in each sessions, the volunteer is tagged with a group of 3-5 students  A total of six sessions have been planned of which three have been completed.  An overwhelming majority of the students have shown more than a keen interest in learning the tools and have also expressed interest in learning the basics of the internet (including email and basic web search). In addition to this, a theatre workshop was also conducted last weekend where the students rehearsed a play.

The Dakshinpuri PAG commenced the English language classes on 2 nd April, 2015. The students undergoing these set of classes, who ranged from 4 th – 10 th standard, were divided into two groups depending on their pre-existing command on the language. In the introductory session, the two groups of students and the volunteers were introduced with each other. The students demonstrated their strength in the uppercase and lowercase alphabets. After this, a word - antakshari game was played wherein the students and the volunteers sat in one big circle. Each participant, upon the arrival of their turn had to come up with a 3 or a 4 letter word, which had to begin with the letter that was the last alphabet of the word spoken by the predecessor. The session was quite productive as it helped the students build their vocabulary and fight the fear of speaking in public. Each one of the volunteers has been given a comprehensive and a thoroughly researched module in English lang

Dwarka volunteers and volunteers from National Law University Delhi, together put up a stall in NLUD cultural fest. The activities that were taken up in the stall were right to education act game- Snakes and Ladders. We also requested the students visiting the stall to make a wish for all the children of the country. The stall was visited by more than 200 students, who interacted with the volunteers to make NLUD CRY Club more effective in its functioning.
