My first www was simply awesome.....On one hand it was an opportunity for us to interact with small/poor kids, it was an opportunity for us to paint two schools, and enhance our talents. Our school was in a pretty bad state as far as its outer and inner look was concerned. the walls were in apretty bad state. Our three day visit to the school made us do a complete color wash and as well as we were able to do a attractive painting on the wall which all of the teachers and children liked.
Day one was a pretty new as far as everything was concerened. The kids warmly greeted us and later gave us a traditional meal. The whole thing started with liting up the traditional oil lamp, later a preist came and addressed us and blessed us as we started to work. It was a new experience for most of us. After sand papering all the walls and grills we started off painting. We had no time to waste, it was a three day task and we had to put in 150% effort. It was rather surprising to see most of the parents actually coming and grabbing the paint brushes from us. and there were soo many instences where we had to get back the brushes from them......
We were able to paint the two main walls and we were kind of behind time when it came to the grills. and that was the day i found out that painting was actullay soo hard....the pillars were done beautifully and by the end of the first day we had finished about 30% which i think is a great achievement. We made it a point to bring extra paint brushes the next day inoder to keep the parents happy :P cause they were wating to work soo much :P............
First day was very tiring and we had to burn our selves inorder to get what we came for. First days interaction with the kids wasnt that amazing cause they were cricket orientated and we didnt have any cricket equipment to satisfy them :( quite sad i would say.........As far as team work and communication adn interaction were concerened we actually Learned a lot....
day 2-
Another tiring stress full day....Well the abstractness wasn't as much as the first day but still it was pretty tough to cope up with the remaining work as our goal was to altleast finish 75% by the end of that day.....We hardly took any breaks, we were able to finish doing the park/play area by the second day. So we got all the people who were involved in other areas to focus on our wire meshes, which had a lot of work to be done........
By the end of day two we were able to finish quite a lot of work....
day 3-
Was the last day on your schedule, was rather a hectic one with soo much of work to be done. and I as a team leader of group D, I had loads of reposibilties over my head. But with the coperation I got from my team members we were able to finish all the work. We finished the floor and gavethem paint to do what even they wanted with it, we made our selves happy as well :).......
We finished all our work and then later the kids did a performence and it was soo nice...It was very sweet of them, we too rehersed at the hotel and did a small concert for them which turned out to be very nice and sweet :D.......
