My job description
Tuesday, 21. August 2007, 11:19:44
Today it's exactly 14 days since I arrived in India. I dare to say that I understand my NGO much better and therefore I also created my own job description for the traineeship and approved it with my boss. They gave me a lot of autonomy in this which is great, I really had chance to get to know the organisation, then think about my own strengths and how can I contribute in such a short period of time.
So the main objectives of my traineeships are:
1) To design and deliver a 2-3 5hour workshops for girls from villages who came to Pune for their higher education with the aim to raise their self awareness and empower them to fully develop their potential in the future. To create an output and outline of this programme to be used by Vanasthali in the future in their training course for rural women.
2)To prepare fund raising materials such as proposal and collection of 3-5 case studies showcasing the women empowerement thanks to Vanasthali's training programme and to consult with the volunteers about the fund raising options and possibilities with the aim to increase Vanastali's donations in the future.
3)To enrich the curricullum of Balwadis (nursury schools in villages) and hobby classes by collecting several new games and stories and practising those in Balwadi in Jagruti.
I'm mainly excited about the objective number one,I delivered the 1st block yesterday and it was quite successful. Since training is something I like a lot, it just filled me with energy. Those indian girls were very shy in the beginning but slowly started to talk more and more...it seems that they are not very much used to active learning as I'm doing with them. I guess it's a big learning for both them and myself.
Regarding the third objective, I would like to ask you if you please remember anything from your nursury school, please could you drop me an email, or just use the space in the comments? Any games that we played as kids (3-6year old) any stories that our mums used to tell us...these rural kids really have a tough life, while participating in Balwadis they can be children again, they can play, laught, smile, be creative, start training their memory...so please share with me, I'll bring it to them and I'm sure that it can make their day if they learn some new dance, song with actions,listen to some new story. Thanks a lot guys!
