5. As the Story Goes…

6. Everyday when we stepped out of our school, we usually found the blind students of neighboring Blind Boys Institute holding shoulders of one another passing by…

7. They were deprived of the most precious gift of God i.e. EYESIGHT

8. We thought and thought and thought… And a question arised, Can we bring about a change in their situation and help them in some way?

9. And the Answer was … YES, WE CAN!!!

10. This developed a STRONG URGE within us to help them out in some way which led us to know their immediate requirement of EDUCATIONAL TOYS

11. These educational toys would enhance their understanding by TOUCH and hence the title of our project… “SPARSH PRABODHAN”

12. IMAGINE

13. We contacted The Headmistress of Blind Boys’ Institute and expressed our wish to help the visually challenged.

15. Sports material

16. Braille books

18. Final Solution – Action plan and Implementation: In order to realize this dream we decided to harness the boundless talent from our school through a charity show, ‘TALENT EXTRAVAGANZA’

19. ’Learning by doing’ being our motto, we plunged ourselves by all our heart and soul to execute this idea. This involved approaching sponsorers for printing of tickets, arranging light and sound, material for preparing backdrop, setting up of stage, video shooting and photographs.

20. Arranging the sponsorers helped us utilize the entire funds collected for buying of educational toys for the Blind Boys Institute. And the journey began…

54. Noteworthy Change Observed – The smiling faces of the visually challenged on using the educational toys gave us our reward. We could realize that we were able to change the regular pattern of teaching – learning into fun loving and cherishable experience.

55. EYE opening moment: The journey does not end but it goes on…

56. The bonds have become stronger and stronger which has inspired us to pledge to donate eyes as we fulfill the age criteria.

57. OUR MESSAGE CAN BE BEST CONVEYED THROUGH FAMOUS LINES OF THE BHAJAN, “VAISHNAV JAN TO TENE RE KAHIYE PEED PARAYEE JANE RE” THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, THERE ARE MILLIONS OF OTHERS WHO ARE AWAITING A CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES. HOPE WE BECOME INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING THIS CHANGE AND MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER.
