Bal Mela is the biggest event of the year where our school invites children from various SMC and village schools to enjoy different activities in sports, arts, music & dance. There were around 1500 children attending Bal Mela. I was one of the volunteers and conducted a game (burst the balloon) along with 3 other people.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LO2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event was huge and we had to look after around 70 children at a time and managing these many children all at once was a difficult task in itself, on top of that we had to explain the game to them and make them play the same which became more challenging. Moreover, there was a language barrier between the children and me since I am not very fluent at conversing in gujarati, it was difficult for me to communicate with them but I got through with that and managed to convey my message through a little assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LO5 – Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.<\/span><\/p>\n

I worked with 3 other people and conducted the game. We worked together and divided our responsibilities among one another depending on their strengths and weaknesses. I wasn’t very fluent with Gujarati therefore, other people in the group really helped me and took most of the speaking part. Working in a team really made it efficient plus a little easy to manage, additionally, we were able to effectively use the strengths of all the team members.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LO6 – Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are government organizations and NGOs who aid underprivileged people to get food, shelter and education, and while we are equipped with all of these things and more, I feel like serving the community is our responsibility. While this might be an action on a smaller scale, helping those in need and making their day really made me content.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LO7 – Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of Bal Mela I was able to understand how our small correct actions could bring significant changes and encourage others to do the same as a part of serving the community.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
