Belegere school , Art and Craft ,

day 2 of the beyond Academics sessions  was again received with a lot of excitement  ,
Belegere is a small village situated deep  and reaching there   is  to experience  all types of road conditions in one ride.
however after reaching the school one  gets a warm welcome  by the pleasent and true smile of students and teachers.
today  the 26th of October 2017,  was special in many ways to me ( rtn Sunand Sampath ) in many ways, 
before I get into the details of why today was special , i would like to acknowledge  the people , the Leaders in Rotary, The Faculty members from the schools , who all are involved in this programme  ' Beyond Academics'

this is true team work ,

Mud pots  with warli art  and having own plant to nurture and seeing it grow...   this is an exciting idea,   and to achieve this we had to struggle a lot  for procuring the flower pots of the right size ,  with dwindling demand for earthen Pots due to increase in demand for plastic pots, it is extremely difficult to  get these pots,   
with consistant effort and  search we could get all the pots required  for all the students of  these  schools , 
now the task was to  distribute these pots in the schools  before  they get into the workshops,
so today I took all the pots in a transport auto   and rode about 100 kms in all ,   ,  from pottery town, a known place for earthen pots, to panathur school, then to Belegere   then moving to Gunjur, , and from there  moved to The rural schools  at Tarabnahalli towards interior Hoskote .

What a ride it was ... At the end of the day all this effort the bumpy ride ,  back pain,  was really worth it , 

I represent rotary and the whole team ... and have made the message out that we are coming to have a lot of fun and learn  'Beyond academics'

Its days like these when skipping lunch  makes life more meaningful...  leaving home at 8 am and reaching back at 5 pm  and stopping only for the distribution of pots at these schools and a small discussion time.   and rest time spent on road.  

when we smiles on the faces of those  students  , their teachers, and parents   all this  will be called ' sweet pain of success'

glimpses of my  ride













while the workshops at the Belegere were going on in full swing ,








































The Students and teachers of the school were excited and expressed deep Gratitude to rotarians for making this happen at their school,

Tonight the children are  going to get newer ideas  and innovative  thoughts about a lot of things .


the lower Primary classes children learnt some new skills in painting , they practised painting during the workshop  , and took home their colour set  and promised to finish their  painting at home,

one teacher said' we havent seen our children paint so well'

a visitor from a nearby school has requested  us to organize similar programme for their children...  

we leave the rest to your imagination....
