DREAMS PROGRAM - CAMP - DAY 9 & DAY 10

Last day theme was Communication and Success.

I contacted Stephy and introduced the theme in detail. Then I assigned her with activities. The first activity was to read a short story and write its review and about the moral in the story. Second activity was to write a short description about how communication changed and improved over a period of time. Third activity was to write her opinion about dreams campaign comparing first and second year and differences they found in both years. She agreed to finish it on time. I tried to contact Aleena on the same day, but she was not available. Later she contacted me and I assigned her the three activities. First activity was to read a short story and to prepare a review and to describe about the moral they found in it. Second activity was to communicate with parents and ask about the successful events in their life. Third activity was to write her opinion about dreams campaign and to point out the differences they found in both years. In the evening she contacted me again to ask me, to change the second activity because her parents said that, they had no success in their life. I had no other choice, so I changed the second activity to write a short description about how the ways of communication changed and improved over a period of time. On the last day I contacted Stephy but she completed only one activity and asked for more time. Then she wrote it and sends through whatsapp. In the first activity, she wrote about a beautiful story she read before and explained morals like we should not hurt others and greed for money will destroy friendship and love, etc. In the second activity, she wrote about, how she communicate with others and how her parents communicated in their childhood with others. Along with that she mentioned how, in this Covid situation they are finding time to communicate within their family. In the third activity she explained about how much she like dreams program. She said that she like each activities, script plays, games conducted by mentees. She likes to spend summer camp with friends and mentees rather than spending time through mobile phones. She wanted to play and work together with friends in camp. She told me that she miss those days.

I contacted Aleena, she finished two activities on time. And shared through Whatsapp. I called her and she explained the second activity and pointed out the differences in communication now and then. She explained about the communication through mobile, TV and internet and how it varied from family face to face communication, etc. Then she explained about the story she read and pointed out the moral values she received from it, like man is important than money, religion doesn’t matters, we should love each other, etc. She was finding it difficult to write about dreams program. She was more interested to talk about it. But I insisted on writing. So she wrote it beautifully explaining about the dreams project and she said that she misses her mentees and likes to do activities in the summer camp than through this online class. Both my mentees are ok with the online classes. But they like our usual summer camp more. They are constantly asking me about next camp and are eagerly waiting for next meet up.
