Hello!

Here’s a report on th 30th TAS Municipal School Program.

Today we visited the municipal school no. 1 at Jamalpur, Ahmedabad.

As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program.

The poster display was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends.

The program started with observation of Venus. They were particularly amazed to see Venus, as Moon. During the interactive session that followed, all the slides fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that the teachers too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation! Question like ‘who was the first person to space from India?’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Aftab Sheikh and Afreen Saiyed answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Jigar Darji & Stephen Samuel for set up, Rajesh Nath for photo documentation and other support, all teachers who took deep interest and offered tea and snacks. We thank them all for their interest.

The most interesting part of the whole program was my speech in Hindi language. We never thought of teaching in Hindi language. Many words I spoke were direct from Gujarati language. They taught us few names of planets in Urdu language.
