Mokilla Thanda

Throughout my grade 11, every week, I and my friends developed a habit to go to a nearby school in Mokilla Thanda, where we help the children in studies, play with them and most of all, have a lot of fun! For my first visit, I and my friends taught the kids - alphabets and how to write their names in english; and after the studies aprt was done and we all played some local games like "Kabbadi" and danced and took many pictures together. Some of my friends also served the kids their lunch. This was my first visit and the best - it helped to enjoy even the little things in my life and taught me how important food and studies were. The kids didn't wast even  one grain of rice. When one of the kids was facing difficulty in trying to understand english, I and my other friend tried to help our friend out by talking to the kid in the local languages - telugu and hindi - we shared out responsibilities and commitments and overcame the language obstacle. One of my friend learnt telugu from one of the kid and in return, she taught the kid some english words. We learnt how to deal with children and developed a new skill - how to be creative. As uploaded, the first picture shows the children's creativity - a colored black chart paper. 
There are children up-to grade 7 in that school and they had always welcomed us very warmly. I usually help out the 1st graders along with a group of friends. One thing, that I understood from visiting them so many times, is that, they are sometimes neglected, in studies. They are not very good with their english. Even though we have a communication gap we still manage to have fun together. I think, everyone should take out some time from their "busy" schedules to help out others as this not only helps you to become a better person but also helps you to have some fun. I'm doing my part, are you?
