Questions at the exit time!

Prayer time.

Hello!

Here’s a report on the 55th TAS Municipal School Program.

Today we visited the municipal school no. 2 at Naranpura, Ahmedabad. This school is adopted by “Samvedna NGO” for better education of under privileged students.

As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. All the students prayed before they entered the class.

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 interactive session. Nearly all the slides fascinated them all. Questions like – How can a flag remain horizontal without air, what are sun spots, etc’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students answered my questions with amazing clarity. Due to lack of time, we couldn’t conduct question-answer session. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding. Students gathered at the end asked many questions.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Jigar Darji for photo documentation & set up and Ravi Gamit for assistance. We thank them all for their interest.
