Prog : 60, 04-07-2009, Teachers' Training at ICECD, Bopal, Ahmedabad

Here’s a report on the 60th TAS School Program.

Today we visited ICECD Campus, Bopal, Ahmedabad.

It was unique program today. We had to introduce the subject to primary & high school teachers. All the teachers were from nearby village schools. We specifically asked principals to send science and mathematics teachers so that, they can grasp topic readily.

Initially the program was to give basic information about different celestial bodies in our solar system, but looking to the interest and interaction on the sun, the workshop of nearly 4 hours concluded with full understanding of only the sun.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Smt. Hinaben Shah – Chairperson of ICECD who gave opportunity, the staff for nice arrangement & Jigar Darji for photography. We thank them all for their interest.

Prog : 59, 04-07-2009 at Vishwabharti school, Shahpur, Ahmedabad

Hello!

Here’s a report on the 59th TAS School Program.

Today we visited Vishwabharti School, Shahpur, Ahmedabad.

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

The banner display of 4’ x 3’ was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system & monthly star charts at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends.

The session started with ‘Journey to Space’ show. During the interactive session that followed, nearly 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! Many different questions created interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation.

Due to lack of big hall and projector, the ‘Journey to Space’ was shown on computer screen to the students of 4th standard to 10th standards in class room. In every show they were roughly 50 of them. To cover every student, we screened 18 shows and interactive sessions to cover nearly 850 students.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Ravindra Ambala, Neel Shah for presentations, Nikul. We thank them all for their interest.

Hello!

Here’s a report on the 58th TAS Program.

Today we visited the Seva Café, C.G.Road, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad.
Seva Café is an experiment in the shared joy that comes from humble giving and selfless service. The wholesome meals are cooked and served with love by volunteers and offered to our guests as a genuine gift, paid for in full by previous guests. This the concept on which the same is serving and supports many who are from slum.

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

Due to lack of space in the café, we couldn’t display any poster of banners. The session started with ‘Journey to Space’ show. During the interactive session that followed, nearly the slides fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that not only the volunteers but guests too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation! Many different questions created interesting debates.

We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Sandip for arrangement, Jigar Darji for photo. We thank them all for their interest.
