Don't no what to call???

Last week hope on Thursday morning at 8:00pm I was standing next to my home and drinking coffee. I saw some 4 Govt. school children they were busy with their talk and walking suddenly one child stopped walking and then said Amma suddenly I got panic and asked him what happened?? He told me Akka I can’t carry this cover to my school it’s really hard to walk with Lots books and that to I am carrying in my plastic cover everyday I need one cover look at this I just walked 10 feet its got spoiled what do I do????.

I felt really bad because he just 7 year old and carrying so much book in two cover and two hand.

Asked him where is ur bag??? He replies Akka I don’t have bag I asked my mother she told I will get it next month when she will get salary.

Since I am working with children and also I have my own value because I mentioned in my organization under my value saying I will make sure that each child go to school and has all the school materials.

I asked him wait for a minute I will be back. I went asked my mom that I really want to give my college bag to that child…my mom said are you mad or what?? I explained his situation to her eventually she agreed to give bag to child.

I just went and gave him my college bag and said please keep all the books in this bag u can use this bag for a while. If u want new one I will get it for you he said its fine Akka…after that I just can’t imagine that the amount of smile he gifted to me…J still I can remember his smile.

After that I started carrying all my college books in one plastic cover after that only I came to know the real pain that child had I am 18 year old girl me only feeling really hard to carry…After that I asked my mom to buy new bag but still she haven’t got time and me also don’t have that much time to go and buy still I am carrying in one cover hope will buy soon one J

Next day morning that child came to my home and said that thin Akka is there know please call that Akka I was in my room I just laughed and said yes thin Akka is here tell me what?? He replies Akka I washed ur bag please take it J. I was like oh!! My god I don’t want sweet boy you keep it for urself if u want new one let me know he said fine and ran away…J

Here I really would like to thank Dream a Dream who made me to understand child value… J

Outing with my mom

Took my sweet mother to Movie on 04/10/09. After long time she came out with me unfortunately tickets was sold out felt so bad like yelling at me really that god knows my heart pain asked whether she would like to go for other movie but she ignored and said lets go for home.

Nicely asked my dear sweet mom lets go and have food at KFC mom says no my dear child ur not too old to go for hotel and all but again I forced her saying no mom lets go…eventually she agreed and had food…after that took her to commercial street and some shopping mall…

I really like my parents a lot, love them a lot…J Since I am going for evening college…always she says Pavi come soon to home…I always use to say mom don’t worry I will come to home safely…J

I really thought of writing this story cause my mom she never and ever goes for party or for other place but finally after all my motivational talk she came…planning to go for movie next week.

Mother quote: - Pavi don’t go for commercial street and other place because Ur still small girl…J ( I have to make my mom to realize that I am not too young I know what is good and bad and so on)

Udaan life skill programme....

Dear Team,

On 6/11/2008, in the afternoon around 2:30pm I went to Round table school for an Udaan session. I have never conducted an Udaan session myself but today I did after just ½ hour of reading the Udaan book, 18th Chapter (Project of life). It was a really good topic and it was great to learn more about Future Projects ideas.

I went there at 2:30pm and found only 25 children present. Most of them were attending the Adventure camp and some children were running home. When the RTS staff rounded them up, I started the class with my introduction and what I was currently doing. Some of them said "Oh!! Very interesting" and 2 or 3 children introduced themselves as well.

After this I stared session with learning objectives. We, then, went into the following activities

a) Identifying past and current interests and achievements
b) Identifying future goals
c) Creating plans for reaching goals and d) Identifying possible ways to adjust plans due to unanticipated events (this was optional)

This was a very interesting topic to discuss with the children. We discussed the topic and I started doing the activities myself (as listed above). It was such an amazing experience I cannot find the words to express it.

During the session I got one call that I had to attend. I asked the class for permission and then attended to the call.

When I came back, I asked them what they liked in the session and what they didn't like. One boy stood up and told me that he didn't like that I attended a call during the session. I asked why he felt that way and he said that it was an interesting class and suddenly that mobile sound made me feel disturbed. I apologized to that boy. (Team don’t receive call in front of the Children during session just for information)

The next feedback I got was about the activity of identifying a future goal. One of the children mentioned that in the case of his family, they may not send him to study in the 10th STD and now his project of life was to make sure he finished the 10th STD. Now that I know what my goal is, this summer I will definitely do well and show my parents that I have the confidence and they will agree to send me to the 10th STD. I appreciated his interesting feedback.
Suddenly a girl stood up and she showed her anger face to me and to her friends. I was shocked because I didn't know what happened and she stared to cry. It was already 4.30 and so I finished the session and I told her that I would talk to her after the session was over.

After we said our goodbyes, I spoke to that girl for 30 minutes. I asked her why she got angry and why she cried. I wanted to know if it was something I said or did that hurt her. I apologized to her. She said "Pavithra aunty, just like that boy, her parents were also not going to send her to the 10th STD". She had the same problems in her house which is why she got emotional. I explained about some inspiring news to her. I told her that now that she learned that project of life she can apply that into her life. She said that within one week she was going to do that so that when I went back to the school next, she would have something to show me. I was thrilled to hear her words. It's amazing.

This is what happened in my first ever Udaan class. All I can say is "Super!"

First we should appreciate to Dream a Dream. How we are changing this community through our Programme. Once again Team says thanks to DAD and Team.

Thanking you
Dreaming Pavi

Experiance that we had

Dear Readers,

We had a Funday on 14/10/2008 with Bosco Mane. It was really wonderful experience. The Funday went really very well I am really very happy to say that. In the Morning we started on time and while traveling we sang –songs in the bus. We reached place only at around 11am. While going there, we found it a little bit difficult because we didn't know the proper address. Even Hamsa had forgotten but we finally found it. We started with laying down the ground rules each and everybody followed it. First we had morning snacks there after which we trekking. While Trekking, most of the children from Bosco were sharing there experience in adventure camps and about Nomito. Once we reached top of the hill, we had 6 activities. We all learnt how to work in Team. The children were jumping on to the rocks and they loved it. We all felt like we were in an adventure camp. There were 51 kids and 4 staff from Bosco mane, 3 staff from Dream a Dream. Dream Funday does not only mean Fun there is also something learning from it.

How Stock market works

Once upon a time, in a village, far into the jungle, Big Sam appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the jungle, and started catching them. Big Sam bought thousands at $10 each, and as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.


Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one!

Sam announced his final offer: he would now buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.


In the absence of Big Sam, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that Big Sam has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 each, and when Big Sam returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each." The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw Big Sam nor his assistant again,
only monkeys and more monkeys, everywhere!


Now, you should have a better understanding of how the stock market works.

How to manage our time well

Hi Team,

How to manage our time

From this article I learned so many things and to manage our time well.

I read an article about how to manage your time well

Each one of us have 24 hour in a day to spend as we want. But we can’t get back time that is lost, it is lost for ever.

We don’t have time because we find it’s difficult to control

Through this article we can learn how to mange our times well and there are 3 steps involved in a time management.
Recording time and tasks
Analyzing and managing time and tasks and
Consolidating time to allocate to tasks.

Finally I learned being a busy does not tire us. It keeps us mentally active to become more active physically and mentally.
