My Experience with NGO's

 

During my summer break and vacation, I got the chance to work and interact with some NGOs in India such as Kshamata and The Think Sharp Foundation through TribesForGood. What I did was I thought about a topic/issue that would be important for everyone to know and I would have to create a slideshow conveying this information to these NGO’s. The topics that I felt that needed to be meaningful were How we should Recharge and Rewind our Brain and How to Combat against Antibiotics. So during the next few days I researched information about these topics and created Canva slideshows conveying why these issues were worth talking about and spreading awareness. Is used various sites and images to try and hook the kids into my presentations as getting hooked would mean they would understand the information. I also tryed to limit not just have only paragraphs but also interactive videos as some people have a preffered learning than another. So after I finished creating my presentations I had to call the NGO’s to set up a date. As I was presenting the information they seemed so curious about the slideshow and sparked with multiple questions which included: How does sleep benifit us, How much sleep should I get, Why should I have a bedtime routine, How does my body go to sleep, and so much more. Even though I did not understand what they were saying I could see they had many questions in the facial expressions and body language as they had their hand up. By the time I was going to the next slide they just sparked with more questions which really highlighted their curiosity about the information I was conveying. Therefore, It was a real joy working with these NGO’s as you get to know other people and offer some valuable information that they will remember forever. So I encourage everyone to do this as it is a real joy.
