'Education is not the preparation for life; it is life itself'- How Cherry's efforts had a positive impact on the lives of Children
Working with the children made me realize
how blessed I was to be born into a family that gave me all the opportunities,
which I never had to struggle for. But watching these children not get the same
opportunities was disheartening. Working at CRY taught me to use my privilege
for the betterment of their lives.
SWATI, where I taught, gave me an
experience of a lifetime. I was able to reach out to so many children at once -
listening to them, talking to them, and trying to understand them. Each child
had some talent hidden within them, waiting to be discovered; all that they
needed was someone to recognize them. They were strong kids with dreams in
their eyes. They only needed to be heard and guided in the right direction.
During my internship, I tried my best
to give them the confidence they needed to not be afraid and pursue their
dreams. The beauty of working at SWATI was that I was not confined to only
teaching children; older women, mothers also took my classes and it was a
privilege to teach them. The skill with which they were able to balance home,
children and studying was inspiring to see.
All in all it was an opportunity that I
am grateful for and I would love to work for CRY and these children again.
There is nothing more exciting to see a child prosper and grow through your
efforts and become a better human being because of something that you have done.
