Qurrath ul ain Nuzhath, on ISLD 2012

3/Feb/2012
Hello Nagini,

I went to Brilliant Grammar School at Masab tank first. This school has been taking the pledge from the past 2 years. This is the 3rd year. It is impressive to see that though the school doesnt have enough infra-structure, they have a commitment towards the students progress.

Since the school does not have a big auditorium to assemble all students, the head boy and head girl went to each class and took the students thru the pledge. Before the pledge, the head boy and girl gave a brief speech about leadership which inspired the students. Later, we assembled on the terrace with 9th Std students. The prinicipal suggested that I give a brief speech to the students, but I suggested that the school head boy deliver the speech and take the pledge. After that, I spoke for a few minutes to inspire the students. The principal, Ms Chandana, said that the students were happy to see a PMI-PCC member spend some time with them. :-)  

The school will send you the pictures soon.

From there, I went to the Royal Institute of Technology and Sciences (RITS) near Lakdi-ka-pul. Since the MBA students are going to have their exams soon, the attendance was less - about 50 of them attended.

Since this was the first exposure about ISLD, SLCB and PMIPCC to the students, I gave them an introduction about these via a presentation. They had arranged for a projector, so, it became easy for me to give the presentation as well as take the students thru the pledge. Some of these students are already working or have business of their own. So, it was difficult to expect much enthusiasm from this group.

But, at the end, as I was about to leave, some students came forward and requested for a copy of the pledge !!!! This really gave me a deep sense of satisfaction, as college students do not get inspired as easily as school children do. I had some print outs of the pledge handy which I gave to them readily. The management too is eager to get the SLCB course conducted in their institution (both for MBA students as well as the Engineering college which is in Damergidda, Chevella, R.R District, AP. I hope to do so in the month of March with the help of other volunteers.

I will be sharing the photos soon.

As I sit, typing this email, I have a smile on my face - a smile of contentment and satisfaction.

Thanks to PMI-PCC for this initiative and helping me in realizing my dreams of "giving-back-to-the-society" through this endeavor.

Regards

Nuzhath. :-)
