A power point to portray my experience at Kabliji School during my placement there for 4 weeks in the month of July

1. KABLIJI SCHOOL DELHI INDIA

2. My Summer Experience “ The time I spent there consisted of a roller coaster of emotions ranging from frustration and exhaustion to satisfaction, amusement and utter gratification.”

3. “ My biggest hurdle preventing me from having a successful experience at Kabliji School was the cultural barrier between my students and myself… Their lack of communication with me made me very frustrated and seemingly resulted in me feeling like I was expending excessive efforts to no avail.”

4. “ The students’ abilities and potential was only demonstrated to me when I decided to stop teaching them the way I was asked to.”

5. “ I initiated a paper- mâché project whereby I provided them with various materials for them to use as they desired.” “ I was in awe at their final product as I understood the significance of the leap they had taken in producing their artworks in terms of being more confident and creative without fear of being criticized for deviating from the norm.”

6. Language barrier?

9. “ Everybody smiles in the same language.” – Author Unknown

11. “ Given that it was my last day, I promised each class a farewell party… I bought soft drinks, snacks, music and games.”

12. … However… “ To some extent, I felt relieved that it was time for me to leave as a result of the demanding efforts I had to put in and working in a very harsh environment… … the only thing that saddened me was the students’ reaction to my departure.”
