Leaders for Tomorrow

A day at Kilkari Child Home. Amongst the session, a little girl of age 5 walked towards me. Her name was Savana. She tugged me and i kneeled to see what she had to show, a secret maybe she just wanted to share with me. 

Her: "Sumit Bhayaa...come....Maggi Bhaya(She called me maggi bhaya), See. I got this at an occasion(Showing me the smiley Keychain.)...One of my favourite stuff."
Me: "This is very nice."
Her: "Hai naa".
Me: "Yes."
Her: "I want YOU to have this."

The moment was magic. Kilkari Child Home gave me moments for life. The smile, the zeal, and the amount of passion the children had could alone make you feel that there is something good to life. Maybe an individual's dreams are never theirs alone. There's always a story waiting to be a told, a dream to shine in its truest forms. Igniting Young Minds, in all its simplicity, a beautiful experience. #LEADERS FOR TOMORROW.

Experience at LFT

   Child Labour, exploitation of child , is the curse given to our society by ourselves. It is the prime issue of concern which can change the scenario of the the country. Every child is born with the right to learn , to live, to express himself. But our cruel society is seizing their rights for their personal benefits or rather I could say for their greed.

                                Today, the child labour is banned verbally in paper,in the govt. laws. But the laws are given no real meanings. Today also a bunch of children are burning their future in small factories ,shops, household works, or even in begging. This is not merely degrading their future but the country's as well. The child labour exploit a child access to education,to think, to experiment,to grow with new thoughts and to get a platform for letting others know their talents.Today's children are the future of the country.If they are not nourished with good thoughts and education, then they could lead to a danger or a criminal part of society.So it should be given prime concern.

                                  We should lead emphasis on every body's access over education. Different programs and camps for poor children's education should be there. These children should be provided with mid day meals in these programs. Strict  punishment should be given to those who are not following the laws. Join hand to eradicate this problem from our society.Come on..........

                       THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION IS NOW , BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE.........

MY EXPERIENCE OF IYM (FIRST SESSION)

Yesterday, the first session of IYM was at KILKARI RAINBOW HOUSE,KASHMERE GATE.In this session, we were supposed to teach some moral values, build their confidence,impart them knowledge about some funny facts.To do this, we were given proper schedules.Since not being professional in teaching, I was a little bit nervous.When i saw the small and sweet
children being so friendly and their overwhelming nature, I lost all my hesitations and just became a part of them.Me and other 4 volunteers along with 7 other girls sat in a group and enjoyed a lot.Firstly,We all introduced ourselves to each other. I was very happy to know that those children were so talented,some in dance,some in painting,and a lot more.Secondly,we enacted a play of "The Small Rabbit" and taught them about the moral of the story.To make the session more interactive,we asked them for the English translations of some Hindi words and I was glad to see that they knew the English translations of most of the words we asked for.The problem they had was in spelling those words.So we discussed a lot of spellings together. Thirdly,we also discussed some of the fun facts with them and also gave the related information to them.Just to gather their interest a little more,we played it in the form of"KBC".I was amazed to see that those children were giving us more information related to some of the questions we asked them.When we asked them how they knew all these facts,they replied that they watch DISCOVERY CHANNEL regularly.

It was a great experience with these children.It was not only those children but I was also gained from this IYM sessions.I learnt how to dream high along with fighting with all the problems in life.

all about Leaders for Tomorrow!

My experience as an lft member has been amazing. The events conducted by lft not only changed my outlook towards society but also my personality. The event adopt a plant encouraged me for growing more and more plants .The cleanliness drive has made me more aware towards the cleanliness of my surrounding. The book and cloth collection drive made help unprivileged children. I enjoyed a lot in every event as I got to learn many new things and had life changing experiences. The events that were organized by LFT made me realized that even small efforts can make a difference. Mahatma Gandhi had truly said “We must become the change we want to see”. I think that being an lft member I am doing the same thing. It feels great to be an lft member and doing your bit towards society. The best thing I like about lft that it inspires youth to contribute towards betterment of society and make it a better place to live.

LEADERS FOR TOMORROW is an organized NGO. It is a platform to polish youth to make them future leadrs.LFT conducts various events like clenathon, cloths n book collection drive, adopt a plant etc. Being a member of LFT, we duly participate in these events. In clenathon event we cleaned roads near our college. It was a great experience; we had a lot of fun.

            We also attended skill development classes. This enables the students to develop    their personality, improve their speaking skills. They also teaches us how to improve body 

Language.

Recently, we participated in cloth and book collection drive. It is an event in which we have to collect cloths, books and other useful materials to donate in orphanage or to poor children. We announced about this event and we got very good response. We personally also donated some books and cloths. I feel proud to be a part of this event as I feel that we are helping orphans in making their lives better.

I m feeling proud to b a member of LFT as it is taking a step forward for nurturing the future of poor children.

Proud to be a LFT’ian.

Experience in LFT

Working in LFT (Leader’s For Tomorrow) as a member has been a great experience of my life. I learnt a lot of things and enjoyed from the events conducted by LFT in our college

The first event was “ADOPT A PLANT”. In this event I participated in OC(Organizing committee ). I and my two friends made a banner. The fun I had in making the banner was equivalent to the fun I had while planting small plants. It looked as if it was the first step of mine towards “Green Delhi”.

The second event was “Cleanliness Drive”. In this event also I participated in OC, made two posters. In this event, I in the group of 8 members cleaned a particular area, which was assigned to us by the event head. Initially picking up wrappers from roadside was embarrassing but after few minutes this embarrassment was overpowered by proud. I was proud to see “Clean Delhi”.

The third event was “Book And Cloth Collection Drive”. The feeling of collecting cloth, books, toys, bags etc. and even donating these things for small children was amazing. Helping small children to make their future worth better had been the best thing in my life I ever did.

There were few SDP (Skill Development) sessions organized by LFT for the members of LFT. I learnt and enjoyed a lot from these sessions. I learnt about different types of skills, Importance of teamwork, Importance of effective listening in a communication, what message your gestures convey to other people……..etc. . All these things will help me in the future in some or the other way round. Also there were different gaming exercises to boost up the confidence in me.

E.g.:-Intro, Group discussion session, Blind folded game………….etc.

Working of mine in LFT has benefitted me, environment and even other small children in some way. I love being a member of LFT.

Experience in LFT

One day my friend asked me to go to rajiv chowk for the meeting of an organisation and said that if you do the event you will get a certificate. I neglected it and went out with my friends elsewhere. But one of my friends went there and he told me what was the event(ADAR). I thought it’s a 10 days work let me do it and I will get a certificate. I did the event and each day thought should I also take membership of this NGO-LEADERS FOR TOMORROW? Then the  last day I took the membership thinking it is just a matter of 50 rs and will have fun with my friends during events and will aso get a certificate. The situation was such that I need to take a little responsibility and I became the head of LFT team in my college and when I was told my work I was in a state oh god why I have taken this responsibility and when other members didn’t showed their interest in the orientation class I started asking others to take this responsibility but no one agreed and to run this group in our college I said ok let me do it for this year now and next year il handle it to someone else or close the group. One of the other reasons for my this thinking was the comments by others and even my friends that “ isse to bas lft lft karalo, jab msg bhejega lft.”

Then came the time of organising ADAPT. After a lot difficulties we got the permission from college and even the funds to plant specific species of plants. Since the teachers day was also approaching, the college authorities asked to organise adapt along with teachers day function. Me and my friend Anuj took this responsibility and I divided the work to the OC members, to buy saplings, make posters etc. and even asked the college students to organise a play and a song for the function. Then came the turn to invite all the teachers, management authorities and the senior faculty like director etc. Although it was very tiring but I enjoyed it a lot as I got the opportunity to get myself recognised to everyone in the college and even could order the students which happened just because I was the head of LEADERS FOR TOMMOROW group in my college. This was the moment when I was happy to become head and handle responsibility and a power came that yes I can do it.

Then came the day of the event and it was a success and hearing from everyone, teachers, director as well students made me feel great.  Also planting trees made me internally feel good that I have done something nice which is not for my benefit. It was really a great day for me and a sweet memory for my life.

I again thanx LFT for giving me a platform(whose meaning I understood now).
