Display board on Commonwealth

For the month of November, "Commonwealth" was chosen as the topic for the display board. This is what the students made:

Print Media

In general, media refers to various means of communication. In the world of today, media has become as necessary as food and clothing. It has played significant role in strengthening the society. Media is considered as "mirror" of the modern society. The purpose of the media is to inform people about current affairs, latest gossips and fashion.

That's why it was a necessity that the students should be aware of the media's roles. For that, classes were given 'Print Media' as their topic for the display board.

And, this is what the students made:

Students also enacted a play on ‘Global Print Media’. They tried to bring out the importance of media in the daily lives of people.

Painting the views on Social Issues

“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.”           - Emile Zola 

Art has always been the best way to express your inner thoughts and inner voice. The purity and attractiveness of art can't be ignored by anyone. And, that goes for the students of Ramjas School as well.

Wanting to change their future world, the young and creative minds of these children told their complaints through the vibrant colors of art!
Here are some of the posters made by the students against current diverse social issues:

Donating to the needy

“No one has ever become poor by giving.” 

That's what Anne Frank believed in and our school supports her words completely. This year, continuing our tradition, we again asked our students to donate their used books to the poor children, who can't buy books to study.

Child Rights - another event by 'Nine is Mine'

4 days later, on 20/11/2014, our school, Ramjas School, Pusa Road, again participated in an event organised by Nine is Mine, the issue related to 'Child Rights', at Delhi Haat, New Delhi.

Students from VIII class participated in the event and were briefed about the evils of Child Labor and how the issue has paralyzed our society. They were taught how to properly tackle this issue and were sensitized on the current status of children in our independent country - there are around 12 million children in our country, who have to work, so that they can have food at least once a day.

Students also worked with some challenged students and were sensitized to the needs of such children. The students had the opportunity to meet some kids who are child labors and got a firsthand account on how they had to struggle daily for survival and food.

The day’s session ended with a poster making activity on Child Rights, organised for all - including the less-fortunate ones who were helped by “Nine is Mine”. This helped students to understand that they were entitled to more than 40 child rights, which otherwise they were unaware of.

On the whole the activity sensitized the students on the need to eradicate certain evils of society through collaborative work and by teaching the students that unity is power and they should all stand together to fight for the rights of the future citizens.

Collaboration with Vietnam on Child Rights

Our school collaborated with a school in Vietnam on the issue of 'Child Rights'. Their school shared some of their students' arts related to Child rights.

 

Our school also participated in events conducted by ‘Nine Is Mine’, which is an organisation to promote Child Rights.

Many students and teachers went to support the Child Rights at ‘Raahgiri’ on 16/11/2014 (Sunday). The event was centered to organize and muster support for child Rights. The students went there with great enthusiasm to support such a noble cause early in the morning. The students did a great job as they marched and raised slogans; some of them also recited poems that brought out the feelings of a child who is deprived of his/her rights even in the 21st century.

We supported “Nine is Mine” campaign which is a campaign

• Of the Chilren
• For the Children
• By the Children

It brings us immense pleasure to announce that our speakers were so inspiring in delivering their ideas and expressing their thoughts that even the organizers of the campaign requested us to urge other people present there to join the campaign and thus gather large masses for the upliftment of the status of children in the society and hence the Nation.

Students also felt very contented after such a fabulous experience where they worked for the society as it was something very distant from the day-to-day schedule.

The students also said that they are always ready to support such a noble cause whenever their assistance is required.
