DAYWISE REPORT
DAY 1:
The first day started with the ice breaking session, where we met all the students and interacted with them. We played different games with them and tried to create a normal environment. We played voice modulation and mind concentration games, which really attracted the children and they were quite open to us. Followed by this, the 40 students were divided into smaller groups of 7-8 students according to their classes and reading session was conducted in smaller groups. Followed by the reading session, we had the Baal sabha, where the students were allowed to elect their own prime minister and president for the respective day and some performances by the kids which help them to boost their confidence with this, the first day ended happily.

CONCLUSION-
In the end massive changes are noticed in students, in their attitude and confidence. The kids we meet first and last day were completely different. They have huge goals and aspirations they just need good direction which direct them towards right road to success. They had full confidence on their school. I did not notice any inferiority complex. Even after coming from such backgrounds their dream is what makes them a bigger and better person. After interaction with each and every student and all of them had potentials and to my surprise even the naughtiest ones are intelligent and knew the importance of education. Eventually with combine efforts they started gaining confidence and actively participated in class discussion and learning.
