"Swaraj is my Birth right; I’ll have it", "Satyameva Jeyathe", "Inqulab Zindabad", "Vande mataram", "Jai Hind"... still our ears are hearing these freedom slogans in voice of pethankuppam school students. Yes, it gave us the feel that all our freedom fighters were-born. It was evident that these re-born freedom fighters will never stop until they make our nation as the supreme power in all fields. On our 63rd Indian Independence day these budding talents of Pethankuppam(Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu) exemplified that Abdul kalam's vision of India 2020 is no more a dream and we are already in the path of achieving it.
We are here to share the happenings of that memorable day to all shubodayans. The team which represented Shubodaya at Pethankuppam started to celebrate the Independence day from 6 a.m in the morning. With a fully loaded vehicle our team left Perambur by 6.30 a.m in the morning. And we picked up some Shubodayans on the way. We reached Panruti by 10.30 a.m. With some new faces, all the 15 Shubodayans landed on the Pethankuppam middle school. We were given a warm welcome by the school Head master and teachers. All the school kids were anxiously waiting for our arrival and after seeing us, the joy on their face made us to realize the real meaning of the service we do for the kids.
People in Pethankuppam were really supportive.. The words that we heard for the whole day was “What help you guys need?” . Thanks to all of them. We are bound to describe the hospitality at our Shubodayan Akshaya’s residence. For most of us that might have been the first carpet welcome (though it was not the red carpet, instead a blue one :)). Hearty thanks to their family, especially Akshaya's parents. We all felt that without her family it would have been very difficult for us to execute our plan on that day. Your support was the dais of the function. The Ex-President of the Panchayat, Mr.Arjunan was also very helpful to us and they rendered all their support to continue the event without any hiccups. Not to forget the Head master and the teachers who extended their support even before the event started.

| Independence Day 2010 |
We conducted many competitions, both indoor and outdoor - Calligraphy, Collage, Quiz, Skit, Kho-Kho, Running race to name a few. Kids participated enthusiastically in all the events. Each and every kid was special on something and we also had some all rounders. At one point of time we thought it will be very difficult to recognize each and every winner, because there was lot of hidden talent in each of them.
Hope it was a good learning session for Shubodayans from kids. Kids' talents demands Shubodaya to do more ground work before the events. Finally with all help we were able to see lots and lots of smile in the face of each and every kid. With those photographs of smiles we left the school with the contended heart.
It was a very great day. And there are no words to explain the service rendered by all the Shubodayans, who came on that day as well as those who rendered help to make this event a grand success. Each and every one took a responsibility and they assured the successful delivery. Hats off to all of us. We guyz made the day.
These events are just the stepping stones for Shubodaya still a lot more service is pending from her. But Shubdoya always reads impossible as I’m possible. So, there is no stopping for her. Jai hind!

ReplyDeleteReally a great stuff with great new minds is cooking up here.
Keep up the great work.....
for me personally it was an mesmerizing experience on that day to be with the school kids...
hope others too get that experience to enjoy in the following years.
Thanks a lot for such a great opportunity.
Suddenly thought of seeing these photos, when Akshaya called and spoke about our 2010 independence day function yesterday... "Machi kalaki errukom"
ReplyDeleteIt is not that easy to conduct such a big function in the village that we have not even visited before.
Thanks to Akshaya and her family for there great support. Akshaya was saying some good changes happened in this school post our independence day function and awareness program.
Sen, if you can help her in getting her thoughts and experience post this function blogged, it would be a great inspiration to all.
