“Design for Change
Contest”
Activity week (20th Sep 10 -
26th Sep 10)
Title – I make a difference
FEEL Very often, we live with more criticisms
and less appreciation. This creates a negative thought process . We wanted to address this problem and change the environment and mood of the children , their families , their school , parent’s work place and the community at large , into a positive one .
IMAGINE I decided to
do a school project to see , what kind of an impact recognition would have on a community.
IMAGINE As a teacher and
team leader , I decided to choose and honour five students of my school in the age
group of 8-11years. , by telling them the difference each one of them had made.Then I gave them ten more ribbons to pass on .
DO I called Abrez of std.
III-B and told him how he had made a difference to the class and the school . His self confidence in his abilities had taught us to do our best at all times .
DO I gave him ten more
ribbons and instructed him to go out and spread this acknowledgement ceremony , by giving five ribbons to those who made a difference in his life. Then those five people could pass it on to the next five people.
DO He went
home and gave one ribbon to his father for guiding and helping him in his daily activities.
DOPapa ! Thanks

me in my
studies. You

me.

his mother.

passed it on to her domestic help, Satish. Poor fellow! He never expected this kind of recognition and appreciation.
DO

harder by doing
household work by
day and going to
an evening school

a decent living as
well as boost his
self confidence.
