The International Award for Young People embodies a holistic and integrated approach to learning, weaving together elements of service and competence, which have unquestionably elevated my life skills. Life often presents challenges, but my expedition to Wada was a golden opportunity promising an extraordinary adventure filled with heart-pounding thrills and captivating beauty. This high-energy adventure led me to scale rocky peaks and zip-line through dense canopies. Navigating demanding terrain and embracing various wild challenges with expert guides allowed me to immerse myself in the natural magnificence of untouched landscapes. Engaging in courses like river crossing and commando training bolstered my self-confidence and physical strength, which are essential to overcoming adversity.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />I acquired organisational skills, honed my ability to use a compass to find my way through lush greenery, and mastered various knot-tying techniques. These skills enriched my knowledge and deepened my friendships with my peers. Furthermore, they contributed to my personal growth by enhancing my leadership and team coordination abilities, as exemplified in team activities such as terrorist treasure hunts, team obstacle courses, and quiz games.<br />Interactions with indigenous people during the journey provided unique insights into their way of life, fostering a profound appreciation for local cultures and traditions. Capturing breathtaking moments through photography and encountering diverse wildlife in their natural habitats added another richness to this adventure. This experience seamlessly blended adrenaline-fueled excitement, encounters with natural wonders, and deep cultural immersion, leaving me with an insatiable appetite for more.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table>The International Award for Young Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374369669042707822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282322716324826311.post-51046517892846549872023-10-20T13:03:00.001+05:302023-10-23T13:06:08.190+05:30The Award In Action—Bawa Lalvani Public School, Kapurthala<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Report by Rishita Pandey, IX-Commendables, Bawa Lalvani Public School, Kapurthala.</span> </p><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_9067647066638235873full" id="m_9067647066638235873" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 588.4px;"><tbody><tr><td align="left" id="m_9067647066638235873" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 30px 20px;"><div class="m_9067647066638235873module" dir="ltr"><span class="m_9067647066638235873text-container"><p align="center" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em><span style="font-size: small;">The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!</span></em></p><p align="center" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="2" class="CToWUd a6T" data-bit="iit" height="304" src="https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/9r_DHL2HmE4xouRdKdVhIxUX5N92hmerm_J4-0oHSwpd_u4-A6xpJV9Vb-BEDwpTsbRoeKAzgVvVv6W8jglVVD7R7-a5owuG3oozQoHYMpVL_1SyKQ9ta270jDQ79cs90Z9V=w405-h304" style="border: 0px none; cursor: pointer; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; height: auto; outline: 0px; width: 528.4px;" tabindex="0" width="405" /></p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">A crisp morning dawned as my classmates from IX Commendables and I embarked on an extraordinary journey as part of The International Award for Young People (IAYP). Our destination? The enchanting Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir. Little did we know that this expedition would be more than a mere trip; it would be a transformative exploration of gratitude, empathy, and personal growth.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Our visit to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir was not just about observation; it was an opportunity for us to shoulder significant responsibilities and step into leadership roles. The girls from IX Commendables, myself included, were entrusted with the task of connecting with the female pupils of the school. This experience became an exercise in empathy, communication, and the profound power of building relationships. Simultaneously, our male counterparts took on the responsibility of engaging with the male pupils, an experience that led to the discovery of camaraderie, teamwork, and the essence of healthy competition.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Among the most memorable aspects of our visit was witnessing the spirited participation of the pupils in various races and games on the school grounds. The energy was palpable, but what left an indelible mark was the unwavering sense of sportsmanship that pervaded every event. The spirit of competition was not about winning at all costs but about giving one's utmost while respecting the efforts of others. Prizes served as motivation, but the true reward lay in the inner drive to continually improve, push boundaries, and embrace both victory and defeat with grace. This experience etched in us the profound significance of sports in character building and promoting unity. One of the most poignant moments of our visit was our interaction with the youngest members of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir. Spending time with the infants, endeavoring to bring smiles to their faces, revealed an overwhelming sense of compassion and love that permeated the room. Witnessing their resilience in the face of adversity and the unwavering support they received from the school staff was a deeply humbling experience. It served as a stark reminder of the privileges and opportunities we are blessed with in our lives. This encounter left an indelible mark, teaching us the impact of kindness and empathy, even in the most challenging circumstances. It underscored the idea that small acts of compassion can ripple outward, creating a significant and positive impact on the world.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Our visit to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir was a transformative odyssey, reshaping the trajectory of our lives. It etched within us a deep sense of gratitude, empathy, and personal growth. As I returned to my school, I carried with me not just a trove of memories but a steadfast commitment to effect positive change in the world. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir transcended being a mere visit; it became a perpetual source of inspiration and a poignant reminder of the enduring values that continue to shape my life's journey.<br />This journey reaffirmed that education extends beyond textbooks; it encompasses the nurturing of character and the practice of empathy.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_9067647066638235873full m_9067647066638235873image m_9067647066638235873table-15" id="m_9067647066638235873" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 588.4px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" id="m_9067647066638235873" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 30px;"><div class="m_9067647066638235873module m_9067647066638235873image" dir="ltr"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_9067647066638235873full m_9067647066638235873image m_9067647066638235873table-16" id="m_9067647066638235873" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 588.4px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" id="m_9067647066638235873" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 30px;"><div class="m_9067647066638235873module m_9067647066638235873image" dir="ltr"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; table-layout: fixed; width: 530px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_9067647066638235873image-16-1" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; float: left !important; padding: 0px; table-layout: fixed; width: 255px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 20px 18px 0px; width: 254.163px;"><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="3" border="0" class="CToWUd a6T" data-bit="iit" src="https://ci4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/fEGIUIM1lWmjop7xjGIaAj_JmSj7WKQAzrkwfbWydFfiJwwq0BZpYgQj8B0MpUeuwDdr0f_VxyX8JzgE9sFCDk1jIM-PKccVkY_WyPCcYtSDizqAoQcti4eN5mg3ygi54NzL=s0-d-e1-ft#https://cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/4197/4141/original/3.jpg?1697785069" style="cursor: pointer; height: auto; outline: 0px; width: 254.163px;" tabindex="0" width="255" /></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_9067647066638235873image-16-2" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; float: left !important; padding: 0px; table-layout: fixed; width: 255px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 18px; width: 254.225px;"><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="1" border="0" class="CToWUd a6T" data-bit="iit" src="https://ci4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/axAZUJHjkmMIcbCrMKusr3KEodoyhPuwhnFKOc_mSaY0R1dftnOQ3ID2H9axiy8s7_B2sB4Pz6uns1ihQyha-NGENO8dAcum8lhZTh8C9vlfs3XTpSiuzIv_pUUs5I4i2xYz=s0-d-e1-ft#https://cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/4197/4142/original/1.jpg?1697785088" style="cursor: pointer; height: auto; outline: 0px; width: 254.225px;" tabindex="0" width="255" /></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table>The International Award for Young Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374369669042707822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282322716324826311.post-28317998244749715162023-10-13T12:30:00.002+05:302023-10-23T13:07:17.212+05:30The Award In Action—Ram Ratna Vidya Mandir, Mumbai<p><span face="sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Report by Mr. Amit Mathur, IAYP Coordinator, Ram Ratna Vidya Mandir</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Ram Ratna Vidya Mandir, has been actively participating in The International Award for Young People, and we recently organized a tree plantation drive to contribute to the environment and our community.

Skills Development: Over 78 hours, I honed my skills in writing music. This creative endeavour allowed me to express myself in new ways and appreciate the nuances of musical composition. The process of creating music from scratch enhanced my creativity and patience, and the joy of completing a piece provided a sense of accomplishment.<br /><br /></p><p align="left" style="color: black; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Physical Recreation: I committed 52 hours to walking, an activity that not only improved my physical fitness but also provided me with time for reflection and appreciation of my surroundings. The regular physical activity helped me build stamina and resilience, while the quiet moments during walks offered opportunities for introspection and idea generation.<br /><br /></p><p align="left" style="color: black; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Voluntary Service: As the Senior Managing Editor of DU Express, I spent 52 hours leading the organization. This role taught me valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and the importance of clear communication. It also gave me a sense of responsibility and the opportunity to make a positive impact on my community.<br /><br /></p><p align="left" style="color: black; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Adventurous Journey: From 12th to 16th October 2021, I embarked on a trekking adventure in Triyund Trek, Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, India. This journey tested my physical endurance and resilience, while also offering breathtaking views and a deep connection with nature. The trek taught me the importance of perseverance and the rewards of stepping out of my comfort zone.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em></em></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXwQ1oVVH8TUMERb1Wl6JIWD14TbN9nKxJz8PSXmhEi-CspTk14RbmZpDhaz8tO3SB0LxEsMoqEeXs-KxGB5FepEN_1s4SiiNxEeR_hD0nh8-tBRFZSMwj_USgDnWyaIII5CA1iLHThzRYIDvItkuCSibu31neXs05abjJl-5_l4Lc72x73BwvH9wFNjw/s629/unnamed%20(20).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="471" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXwQ1oVVH8TUMERb1Wl6JIWD14TbN9nKxJz8PSXmhEi-CspTk14RbmZpDhaz8tO3SB0LxEsMoqEeXs-KxGB5FepEN_1s4SiiNxEeR_hD0nh8-tBRFZSMwj_USgDnWyaIII5CA1iLHThzRYIDvItkuCSibu31neXs05abjJl-5_l4Lc72x73BwvH9wFNjw/w218-h290/unnamed%20(20).jpg" width="218" /></a></em></div><em>Impact of The Award Programme</em><br />IAYP has had a profound impact on my personal and professional development.

Through my experience with cooking as part of the skill section of The International Award for Young People, I've come to realize that food prepared by your own hands tastes even more delightful! Cooking is a skill that requires an understanding of how to prepare dishes and knowing the essential ingredients needed for each recipe. While cooking may not always be an effortless endeavor, it demands patience and dedication.

Upon our arrival, my companions and I distributed food to the residents of the Ashram. The smiles on their faces upon receiving this simple gesture were heart-warming. It was clear that they faced daily challenges, particularly children who lacked adequate food and clothing. This realization struck a chord within us, motivating us to provide both clothing and sustenance to tackle their hardships. Our involvement in the Ashram was a humbling experience, and we felt privileged to spend time with the residents. Interacting with the community at Kushat Ashram allowed me to understand their challenges and hardships. This experience cultivated a deep sense of empathy within me. I could see life from different perspectives, which helped me become a more compassionate and understanding person.<br />Subsequently, we visited Gurudwara Sahib, where we engaged in cleanliness and Langar Sewa. Participating in activities like cleaning at Gurudwara Sahib and contributing to Langar Sewa instilled a strong sense of responsibility in me. I realized that I had a role to play in maintaining cleanliness in my surroundings and serving the community. This responsibility extended beyond myself and enriched my sense of duty towards society. My involvement in social service and community activities reinforced the joy that comes from helping others without expecting anything in return. This selfless act of service not only benefited those in need but also nourished my own spirit, making me more willing to contribute positively to society.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirN4oPN0RoyNiIR3QgXxeqcx6uxPNuj1yTD1K3aQdiBwkKMICITvnEWyL3WamBH5YcncXxpWK-fI0J3ZWjZ3DMyM2ggeosK-TQsOyL7sre05OdE9DhJJ_OHaDGP2-ernGUP7KDUgEKFaW79aqUubrkVRxlXyBHIEBiWpL9A8aSkvoDl9fhLF03mIBjFTMe/s1180/unnamed%20(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="1180" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirN4oPN0RoyNiIR3QgXxeqcx6uxPNuj1yTD1K3aQdiBwkKMICITvnEWyL3WamBH5YcncXxpWK-fI0J3ZWjZ3DMyM2ggeosK-TQsOyL7sre05OdE9DhJJ_OHaDGP2-ernGUP7KDUgEKFaW79aqUubrkVRxlXyBHIEBiWpL9A8aSkvoDl9fhLF03mIBjFTMe/w267-h201/unnamed%20(4).jpg" width="267" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_MQbZOXn6IEOMrw6z9LhiTQs0OPdNB5-vskStSerun3kyjUMKcTN-uw323_HofaYItzuoe7McMW3FG0xaUWWl2fb_5n0GenK9B2cXHPa62GYgUHnZ9wPvRd_Dvcj9lRyGcj-fwfNM4Z2ZRBbNecg7Q4RuGvZ9EtHMKnIVKSTKHqe5S0ScTwwoOoe6CH2v/s1180/unnamed%20(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="885" data-original-width="1180" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_MQbZOXn6IEOMrw6z9LhiTQs0OPdNB5-vskStSerun3kyjUMKcTN-uw323_HofaYItzuoe7McMW3FG0xaUWWl2fb_5n0GenK9B2cXHPa62GYgUHnZ9wPvRd_Dvcj9lRyGcj-fwfNM4Z2ZRBbNecg7Q4RuGvZ9EtHMKnIVKSTKHqe5S0ScTwwoOoe6CH2v/w266-h200/unnamed%20(8).jpg" width="266" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />Through this, I was exposed to various social issues and challenges faced by different sections of society. This heightened awareness of the inequalities and difficulties people endure motivated me to be more socially conscious and work towards creating a more equitable and just society. These experiences were transformative for my personal growth. They taught me valuable life lessons about humility, kindness, and the importance of community engagement. I became more open-minded, adaptable, and willing to embrace diversity. The lessons learned during this visit are likely to stay with me throughout my life. They became a part of my core values and will guide my actions and decisions in the future. I am now more inclined to engage in charitable and humanitarian efforts as a responsible citizen.<br />In conclusion, this visit as part of my Award Journey significantly contributed to my growth as a human being by instilling empathy, responsibility, and a giving spirit. These experiences not only enriched my moral and ethical values but also empowered me to make a positive impact on society. I am on a path to becoming a compassionate and responsible citizen who understands the value of contributing to the well being of others and the community as a whole.</span></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white;

Basically, social service has taught me the significance of empathy.<br />Through my work with the Voluntary Service section of The Award Programme, I have seen first-hand the struggles that many people go through on a daily basis. It has made me appreciate the things that I have in my own life and has taught me to be more compassionate towards others.<br />Another lesson that social service has taught me is the power of community. When we work together towards a common goal, we can achieve so much more than we ever could on our own. Whether it is a group of volunteers coming together to feed the homeless or a community rallying around a family in need, the support of others can make all the difference.<br />Social service has taught me that no matter how small our actions may seem, they can have a significant impact on the lives of others. A kind word, a smile, or a simple act of kindness can brighten someone's day and remind them that they are not alone.<br />I have not only experienced doing cleanliness and sewa at Gurudwara Sahib, but I also understand how such an experience could teach someone about humanity and social service for mankind.<br />Serving others without any selfish motives is an essential aspect of many cultures and religions. By volunteering to clean the Gurudwara, I am able to express my devotion to the community and willingness to serve others. This act of service helps me create a sense of belonging to a larger community and provides an essential service to those who seek solace in the Gurudwara.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_1751575596083185434full m_1751575596083185434image m_1751575596083185434table-14" id="m_1751575596083185434" style="background-color: white;

Additionally, they engaged in an informative quiz on environment protection, testing their knowledge and fostering a deeper understanding of ecological matters.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Overall, the day was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on the young minds of the Award participants.

Having navigated our way through the station, we stood there eagerly welcoming the memories we were to make together with palpable excitement which highlighted the uncertainty and opportunity our journey had in store for us! After the roll call, the trail left by the wheels of our suitcases, which we had spent hours packing perfectly to use the small space to fit in everything that could guarantee us a convivial time, led to the train. In our hands was our ticket which we glanced at multiple times, nervously checking to see if it pointed to a seat somewhere closer to our friends. The journey was long, but time seemed to fly, with UNO cards and all kinds of snacks taking up more space than we did, and the sound of uncontrollable, infectious laughter ringing perpetually in our ears. The breath-taking scenery, the never-dull moments with friends and the enthralling stories marked the perfect beginning to the coming days.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Upon arriving, we were taken to our tents for an unprecedented experience offering a perfect getaway to rejuvenate amidst the serenity of nature. Nestled in lush green foliage, the city had a mesmerising spectacle. Scrumptious meals that catered to every palate, panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and thrilling team-building activities made the Adventure Journey even more unforgettable.<br />Our next day began with a wild and turbulent ride through the river rapids and currents and ended in the warm, golden glow cast by the flickering flames of a bonfire. River rafting was an adrenaline-fueled adventure as we put to use our skills, teamwork and strength to navigate through the propelling currents. It was truly an exhilarating experience as it demanded a level of courage and tenacity, making it a test of one’s patience and abilities. As the rafting journey progressed, we were treated to breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape, with lush greenery, rugged terrain, and towering cliffs. We were intrigued by the fact that each rapid had a unique and interesting name. The shared experience of navigating through the rapids created a sense of bonding which stayed with us till long after the adventure ended.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The next day was packed with obstacle courses and adventurous activities including the giant swing and the reverse bungee which put our agility and endurance to the test. While the reverse bungee involved being shot upwards at a breakneck speed, the giant swing created a sense of freefalling with the wind rushing through one's hair and the force of gravity tugging at one's body creating a thrilling and surreal sensation. We then proceeded to attend the Ganga Aarti which had a spiritual and serene atmosphere, and we were enthralled by the beauty and the energy of the aarti. We ended the day with the leaping and dancing flames of the bonfire, sending sparks flying into the night sky, casting an ethereal light over the surrounding area. As we all sat around the fire, we sang our favourite songs and ended the day on a soothing note.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">On the final day, we embarked early in the morning on a trekking expedition. Our senses were engulfed by the beautiful sights and sounds – the rustling of the leaves, the chirping of the birds and the crisp air created an intriguing experience. As we ascended the steep slopes and rugged terrains of our track we finally reached a breath-taking waterfall. The beauty of the waterfall took away the initial feeling of fatigue.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">We then left for Nizamuddin Railway Station as our Adventure Journey had now come to an end. We returned to the RKMP Railway Station knowing that we had returned with precious memories, but more importantly, proof that we had tried new things, rejoiced amongst nature, learnt to enjoy the little things that made our days and built an increased confidence in embracing an independent and responsible attitude. Just like the storage of our cameras, our minds too were filled with contentment, knowing very well that we had learnt lessons we would embrace for the rest of our lives!</p><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_-3070967712644181011full m_-3070967712644181011image m_-3070967712644181011table-18" id="m_-3070967712644181011" style="border-collapse: collapse;

font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em>Q. What do you think is inspiring about the International Award for Young People in your experience?</em><br />A. When young people participate in The Award Programme, they have the opportunity to experience things that they may not have otherwise. They get to explore new places, meet new people, and develop a sense of community that can be truly life-changing.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em>Q. How have you seen The Award Programme impact your students' personal development and growth?</em><br />A. One of the things I’m most proud of is how IAYP helps young people in developing important life skills. We see it happen all the time - as they navigate new situations and overcome challenges, they gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, and become more self-reliant and adaptable.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em>Q. Can you highlight a particularly memorable moment from a student's journey towards achieving The Award?</em><br />A. One of our favourite memories from a recent trip was watching a group of Award participants who were working towards their Bronze and Gold Awards. They completed all of the required tasks, including visiting an old age home, volunteering in their community, and providing food to underprivileged children. It was amazing to see their hard work pay off, and to see them make a real impact in the lives of others.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em>Q. How do you see The Award helping young people to be ready for college and their future?</em><br />A. A student's development can be fully realized by going through each of the four stages in the Award Programme. By acknowledging their skill and collaborating with the community, they are capable of tackling everyday problems and being able to adjust your approach according to varying situations is an important requirement for success both now and when attending college.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table>The International Award for Young Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374369669042707822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282322716324826311.post-77141297812825365622023-06-30T15:04:00.001+05:302023-10-27T15:06:52.646+05:30The Award In Action—Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior<p> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Report by </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Suman Choudhary, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">IAYP Coordinator, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior</span></p><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_4675285851980180468full m_4675285851980180468image m_4675285851980180468table-20" id="m_4675285851980180468" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 588.4px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" id="m_4675285851980180468" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 30px;"><div class="m_4675285851980180468module m_4675285851980180468image" dir="ltr"><br /><table align="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_4675285851980180468module-20" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; table-layout: fixed; width: 528.4px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 18px; width: 528.4px;"><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="PIC 007" class="CToWUd a6T" data-bit="iit" src="https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/gfgiztYlDdcwqUWjfl1gbuV9MdSWYJ5fyO7ak_veq4WEYOjZKfveYTTzg6L8fJSAOdrZBV7S5SSZujvG3eTJUOthNj-fGYDV7PGEjxVKj5pAU-ULck_30SWRDTguNhRbo20wZMOjTqXD=s0-d-e1-ft#https://cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/3939/5007/original/PIC_007.jpg?1688105882" style="border: 0px none; cursor: pointer; height: auto; outline: 0px; width: 528.4px;" tabindex="0" width="530" /></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_4675285851980180468full" id="m_4675285851980180468" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 588.4px;"><tbody><tr><td align="left" id="m_4675285851980180468" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 30px 20px;"><div class="m_4675285851980180468module" dir="ltr"><span class="m_4675285851980180468text-container"><p align="center" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">“TO WALK IN NATURE IS TO WITNESS A THOUSAND OF MIRACLES”</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">On the 5th of May, 41 Award participants of Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya with 4 escorts, Ms Suman Choudhary (IAYP Coordinator), Ms Vaishali Rathi, Ms Shubhankshi Mukhariya and Mr Vaibhav Bhagat started their journey to Kullu Manali via bus.

During the trek, all participants motivated each other and pushed themselves to reach the next point and camp. During the trek, our Award participants made friends with the mules! After trekking for 7 hours straight, we finally reached Rumshu camp.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">With the anticipation to finally see the snowfall, our young people started their trek early in the morning. While trekking, they faced a lot of problems like slippery and muddy ways, steep paths and rain. Finally, after a lot of struggle they reached the Ghankulahdi camp. Here they got a perfect view of the Himalayas. They were welcomed by heavy snowfall and refreshment drinks. There was no electricity at this camp and by the time it was 8, our young people were asleep with the dreams of conquering the snowy top of the Chandrakhani base camp the next morning.<br />The Chanderkhani pass trek requires walking through trees like Blue Pine, Deodar, Walnut, Golden Oak, and Wild Cherry. The trek offers a wide view of the Kullu region and the cloud touching peaks.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The place had an amazing view of the snowy mountains. After a lot of struggle, Award participants reached the top before the estimated time. After reaching the top, they had their lunch and maggi break while enjoying the breathtaking view of the Himalayas. They could not resist participating in the snow sliding adventure activity! It was time to travel back to the Ghankulahdi camp. It was the final day. With heavy hearts, we said goodbyes to the guides and support staff and started our journey from Ghankuladhi camp to the Rumshu camp.<br />Overall, Award participants not only learnt to adapt in extreme weather conditions but also learnt how to survive with minimal amount of luxury provided to them.</p><p align="left" style="color: black;

font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Dr. Ekta Dhawan, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Principal, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Bawa Lalvani Public School, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Kapurthala.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />Bawa Lalvani Public School, Kapurthala exclusively designed a Three-day Adventure Journey for 80 Award Participants as part of The International Award for Young People (IAYP Programme). The AJ was organized by Adventure Sports Company, Nalagarh, Himachal Pradesh which aimed to offer young people a unique opportunity to engage in thrilling adventure activities, learn new skills, foster teamwork, and create lasting memories. Award Participants actively participated in various activities over the course of three days, building resilience, self-confidence, and an appreciation for nature. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Day 1: The first day commenced with the participants’s arrival at the picturesque campsite. They were warmly greeted by the camp instructors and immediately engaged in an orientation session, emphasizing safety guidelines and the importance of teamwork. Following the orientation, young people were divided into groups and initiated their first adventure activity - river crossing. Utilizing ropes, pulleys, and harnesses, participants navigated the challenging river terrain, showcasing their collaborative spirit and determination. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After a nutritious lunch, they immersed themselves in a series of team-building activities. Through trust exercises, obstacle courses, and relay races, they developed effective communication skills, built trust amongst one another, and honed their problem-solving abilities. The day concluded with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the adventures yet to come. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Day 2: The second day commenced with a rejuvenating yoga session, fostering a calm and focused mindset among the participants. Energized and ready for new challenges, they embarked on a memorable trekking experience through a picturesque forest trail. Amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature, they encountered various flora and fauna, heightening their appreciation for the environment and instilling a sense of responsibility towards its preservation. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After lunch, Award Participants were introduced to the exhilarating activities of rock climbing and rappelling. Ascending the rock wall and descending with confidence using ropes and harnesses, they faced their fears and experienced the thrill of conquering new heights. The instructors provided guidance and support, encouraging the participants to push their limits and discover their inner strength.
As the day transitioned into the evening, a bonfire was organized, creating an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie. Participants engaged in soulful singing and energetic dancing around the fire, fostering bonds and creating cherished memories. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Day 3: The final day commenced with invigorating morning exercises, setting a positive tone for the day. Following the exercise session, young people embarked on a visit to a temple situated at a high altitude. The awe-inspiring panoramic views and serene surroundings left an indelible mark on their hearts, reminding them of the beauty and tranquility of nature.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Returning from the temple visit, young people actively participated in camping activities, including pitching tents, building fires, and cooking meals. These tasks not only imparted essential survival skills but also fostered teamwork and self-reliance. Additionally, they also undertook a tree plantation activity, promoting environmental awareness and sustainability within the local community. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As the adventure camp drew to a close, young people of BLPS packed their bags with bittersweet emotions, bidding farewell to the campsite and reflecting on the transformative Adventurous Journey they had experienced. This journey not only provided thrilling adventures but also served as a catalyst for personal growth and self-realization. Award Participants returned to their daily lives with a newfound perspective, equipped with enhanced resilience, improved problem-solving skills, and a deep sense of responsibility towards society and the environment.
This adventure journey proved to be an incredible opportunity for the students of Bawa Lalvani Public School. Through immersive adventure activities, team-building exercises, and an appreciation for nature, the students developed crucial learnings for life! </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thank you IAYP!</span></p><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="m_-2783129752529464292full" id="m_-2783129752529464292" style="background-color: white;

Under the guidance of Sir Bivujit Mukhoty, I was able to successfully complete the Bronze Level adventure journey, famously called the A.J., with 25 participants of Raphael Centre at Maldevta Camp, Dehradun, from 26th to 29th March 2023. It was indeed encouraging to assist special kids and help them with various tasks like rope climbing. Learning, helping, and working as a team were all aspects I could imprint on my AJ journey with IAYP.</p><p>We went through four days consisting of the preparation journey, practice journey, and qualifying journey across the Pohrigerwal Himalayan region. Understanding the abilities of the participants, addressing their task requirements, and enhancing motivational norms for positive outcomes were all lessons IAYP taught me to work on during the AJ.</p><p>It was truly memorable to carry forward and inspiring to live with. I look forward to inspiring many others and carrying on the life lessons of IAYP throughout my journey.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK0QuSGuKdtGdA-dCizUY0z4Hs7k-S49dDi0h7pWOhwCN82LlqF6lpGP9NKFckqTyHJm4DnLAEsofnsh07m2NxveuehvNbFUo60rKJss-JKkH_Wz3E_yfQhqjqlUHcvwNJY4Q9Sc8TYOZiD1AjlOPOvgg0GcDIcPAX6zx1DhQkYmDfdMHYZGmzsU4uzg/s1280/1686547181983.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK0QuSGuKdtGdA-dCizUY0z4Hs7k-S49dDi0h7pWOhwCN82LlqF6lpGP9NKFckqTyHJm4DnLAEsofnsh07m2NxveuehvNbFUo60rKJss-JKkH_Wz3E_yfQhqjqlUHcvwNJY4Q9Sc8TYOZiD1AjlOPOvgg0GcDIcPAX6zx1DhQkYmDfdMHYZGmzsU4uzg/s320/1686547181983.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHXrDQyQpFwAuy6nIBwOtYa9DxULoU7ldLip6M-Fwrhd50QhwNoh_ZVCqDiHMRA1icGRTc9PySbphA1vcd8zG7dad6ZHaPEifHj6k1y5AJLfQTmOf21V0or_4p6vW-0RThxTzrl7g-zieUn6AD9SWbdbmcGmXqusCvCPdmaURjuP96_G3ez0a-QFIJw/s1280/1686547181998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHXrDQyQpFwAuy6nIBwOtYa9DxULoU7ldLip6M-Fwrhd50QhwNoh_ZVCqDiHMRA1icGRTc9PySbphA1vcd8zG7dad6ZHaPEifHj6k1y5AJLfQTmOf21V0or_4p6vW-0RThxTzrl7g-zieUn6AD9SWbdbmcGmXqusCvCPdmaURjuP96_G3ez0a-QFIJw/s320/1686547181998.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgC_Wzg8JxjfK9Vs9bJPgtmOEWRkyEg0_1jA7qwvy9V4BEw0sXskqpr6wafkwSexFPuxveXhv1F3lFfY1-6cmDr_3n7hOhymrptZNoNTuvxFhIOEIti51W6AtewoK4-P8aL8Oxd1CD7oH_ixHGgfS1b399pLSX942q1XTbemcCjNA_voSWbZyFppZlrA/s4080/1686547182028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgC_Wzg8JxjfK9Vs9bJPgtmOEWRkyEg0_1jA7qwvy9V4BEw0sXskqpr6wafkwSexFPuxveXhv1F3lFfY1-6cmDr_3n7hOhymrptZNoNTuvxFhIOEIti51W6AtewoK4-P8aL8Oxd1CD7oH_ixHGgfS1b399pLSX942q1XTbemcCjNA_voSWbZyFppZlrA/s320/1686547182028.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkIuiVOKSGtblKpVTiy36jBzVAUfmTCuGLkDNrgcAs4ya2_0jZ3UJvhIeI8UjMMpobwF9-ZYeaz1OXGSsu2mRberi-lSL6Tu5UtUm-TMjvOZBav36Tn0qoakPTHR8zvmF_sdP92uo-dLhYj3bPgODnAuVSCay1QpVzBFTs2dsza7buLsnyo0oKeOvZBw/s1280/1686547182038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkIuiVOKSGtblKpVTiy36jBzVAUfmTCuGLkDNrgcAs4ya2_0jZ3UJvhIeI8UjMMpobwF9-ZYeaz1OXGSsu2mRberi-lSL6Tu5UtUm-TMjvOZBav36Tn0qoakPTHR8zvmF_sdP92uo-dLhYj3bPgODnAuVSCay1QpVzBFTs2dsza7buLsnyo0oKeOvZBw/s320/1686547182038.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>The International Award for Young Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374369669042707822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282322716324826311.post-90680416578310789312023-06-10T14:47:00.001+05:302023-06-15T14:48:20.162+05:30The Award in Action - Dyal Singh Public School, Jagadhri<p> <strong style="font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Report by Khushal Bali, Silver Level Award participant from Dyal Singh Public School, Jagadhri.</strong></p><p align="center" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong><em>Unveiling the Beauty and Adventure of the Nag Tibba Trek.</em></strong></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong><em>Introduction:</em></strong><br />Embarking on my first-ever trekking experience to Nag Tibba was a monumental moment in my life as a participant of The International Award for Young People (IAYP). This awe-inspiring trek spanning three days and two nights was not only an adventure of a lifetime but also an opportunity to create lasting memories, forge new friendships, and acquire valuable life lessons. Join me as I recount my exhilarating journey through the majestic landscapes of Nag Tibba.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>Day 1: A Thrilling Start (10th May 2023)</strong><br />As I set foot in the pristine surroundings of Nag Tibba, a surge of excitement coursed through my veins. Accompanied by fellow trekkers, guides and experienced instructors such as Harjeet Hundal and Subhash Sharma (our Award Leaders), we embarked on our trek with great enthusiasm.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>TOTAL DISTANCE-16 KM approximately</strong><br /><strong>ELEVATION- 3033m</strong></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The initial leg of the journey was challenging, with steep ascents and rugged terrains testing our stamina. As we trekked through the mesmerizing Bughyal ridges, the expansive vistas unfolded, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and majestic Himalayan peaks that greeted us along the way made every struggle worthwhile. The serenity of the dense forests, the sweet scent of pine, and the melodious chirping of birds truly immersed us in nature's embrace.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>Day 2: A Lesson of Perseverance (11th May 2023)</strong><br />The second day of the Nag Tibba trek presented us with new challenges and valuable lessons. As we ascended higher, the air grew thinner, and the temperatures dropped significantly. Battling the physical demands of the trek, we discovered the power of perseverance and determination. The camaraderie among our group grew stronger as we encouraged and supported each other through the toughest stretches. The reward for our efforts came in the form of the mesmerizing sunrise view from the Nag Tibba summit. The golden rays illuminating the snow-capped peaks left us in awe, reminding us of the beauty that lies beyond our comfort zones.<br />We were amazed by the incredible diversity of plants and animals as we climbed to higher altitudes. The forests were filled with vibrant flowers and tall oak trees. We were serenaded by the melodies of various birds that call this region home. Our instructors taught us about the medicinal properties of the natural herbs that grew abundantly in this pristine environment.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>Day 3: Reflection (12th May 2023)</strong><br />On the final day of our trek, we descended from the summit of Nag Tibba, but our hearts were heavy with a bittersweet feeling. We had formed deep bonds with our fellow trekkers, our spirits remained high as we reminisced about the incredible memories we had made together.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The trek had not only taught us about the importance of teamwork and resilience, but it had also opened our eyes to the wonders of nature and the need to protect it. As we bid adieu to Nag Tibba, we pledged to carry the lessons and memories with us, cherishing them forever. We marveled at the top-notch services provided by the trekking company, ensuring our safety, comfort, and seamless organization throughout the expedition. Their expertise and attention to detail enhanced our overall experience, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the wonders of Nag Tibba.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>CLEANLINESS DRIVE</strong><br />The trekkers team that embarked on the Nag Tibba expedition conducted a successful cleanliness drive during our return journey. We actively collected discarded water bottles and other waste materials both at Pantwari Village and Kempty Falls. With great dedication, we brought the collected bottles back to our school garden, promoting environmental awareness and contributing to a cleaner and greener community. This initiative aligns with the principles of The International Award for Young People (IAYP), fostering responsible citizenship and sustainable practices.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em><strong>Conclusion: A Journey of a Lifetime</strong></em><br />Embarking on my first-ever trek to Nag Tibba as a participant of IAYP (Silver Level) was not just an adventure; it was a transformative experience. Over three days and two nights, I faced challenging terrains, forged new friendships, and absorbed the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayan peaks. From the initial thrill of the journey to the lessons in perseverance each moment left a lasting impression. The trek taught me the value of pushing beyond limits, appreciating nature, and embracing the unknown with open arms. The memories and lessons from Nag Tibba will forever be etched in my heart, reminding me of the boundless possibilities that lie ahead in life's adventures.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white;

The students at BLPS who are pursuing The International Award for Young People have chosen to take their battle against "Civic Sense and Social Awareness" on the street through some theatrical attempts, and this is precisely the argument that they are making.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">To raise public awareness of numerous environmental issues, the young actors presented a street play titled SAVE EARTH SAVE LIFE with the objective of spreading awareness about the need to protect and preserve our planet. The theme of the performance was “Earth Day” which aimed to reach out to as many people as possible to create a positive impact on the environment. Street Play is a potent weapon that can transform both the current and future generations' mentalities.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Young BLPians began their preparations for the performance several weeks before Earth Day. They held several brainstorming sessions to come up with ideas for the script and the overall theme of the performance. They also worked on the costumes and props, making sure that they were eco-friendly and made from recycled materials.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">In front of a sizable audience, the kids presented the play in Jallow Khana, New Sabji Mandi, and Sheikhupur Road. The play was divided into several acts, each one focusing on a different aspect of environmental conservation. They highlighted the importance of reducing waste, conserving water, and planting trees. The young people also emphasized the need to reduce carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuels.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The theater performance of young artists was well received by the audience since they succeeded in conveying their message. It’s heartening to know that Award participants received positive feedback from several members of the audience, who appreciated their endeavors to create awareness about the need to protect the environment. The audience was moved and pledged to protect the planet and take appropriate action.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The performance was a successful initiative towards spreading awareness about the importance of environmental conservation. Young BLPians were able to reach out to a large number of people and inspire them to take action to protect the planet. We are sure that their efforts will create a positive impact on the environment and encourage others to join us in our mission to save MOTHER EARTH!</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The International Award for Young People is encouraging our young people to take up such initiatives and promoting environmental conservation.

I have achieved the Bronze Award of The International Award for Young People.</span><p></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Throughout my academic journey, I have always been an inquisitive student, actively engaging in both co-curricular activities and academics, finding the perfect blend between the two.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">In 2017, I attended a workshop conducted by IAYP, where I discovered that it falls under the auspices of The Duke of Edinburgh UK and holds significant international recognition and respect. Realizing its value, I decided to pursue the award.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The impact of the Award on my life has been overwhelmingly positive. Engaging in various activities helped me understand that learning extends beyond textbooks and teachers. It taught me empathy and agility, whether through recreational pursuits or visiting old age homes.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Choosing badminton as my physical recreation section was an easy decision since I had always been fond of the sport. I had prior knowledge and experience playing it during my childhood, making it a natural choice.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Dance, on the other hand, has been my lifelong passion. As an avid dance lover since childhood, it was an obvious choice for my recreational activity. I even pursued semi-classical dance during my school days, and I continue to indulge in it whenever I have free time.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Selecting the old age home as my voluntary service section was a thoughtful decision. The voluntary service section holds great significance in my mind as it instilled empathy, generosity, benevolence, and a sense of humanity within me. Visiting old age homes and orphanages, distributing essentials, and empathizing with the residents filled me with pride and gratitude for the opportunity to make a positive impact on society.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">My adventure journey days were truly euphoric. From trekking to camping and climbing mountains in Manali, it was an exhilarating experience beyond words. Spending three days in tents, learning how to build them, and participating in various adventure activities made the whole experience worthwhile.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">To budding award holders, my advice would be to give it their best shot and put in their utmost effort. Trust me, the rewards will be worth every ounce of dedication they invest today. As for me, transitioning from being an award holder to an intern at IAYP feels like life has come full circle. It was never a planned ride for me, but stumbling upon an opportunity on LinkedIn and getting selected as an intern has been an enigmatic journey.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Undoubtedly, The International Award for Young People holds relevance for young individuals even today. It has stood the test of time, constantly adapting to change while maintaining its significance. This Award Programme continues to provide meaning and substance to the youth.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The Award has indeed helped me shape my career. It has channelled my energy and directed my interests towards the right path. I now have a clearer understanding of my abilities and the path I should pursue in life. The immense importance of The International Award for Young People has guided me in my progressive endeavours.</p>The International Award for Young Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374369669042707822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282322716324826311.post-71329231966774725642023-05-20T14:38:00.000+05:302023-06-15T14:41:03.187+05:30Award Leader Experience - Ms. Madhuri Gour, IAYP Award Coordinator, JBCN International School, Borivali<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHT2p7qQVz5FUt6mIqddlQRR-iAz2JruH8fp_8h-eB1jtlquCLh6-vlOhk0batK4aRxvrkqb_6aHnklRY1QovkcRXqQ-1b__52Oc1YfqU2s894HmGHId6sy0DdORgj-jpdCdijiub73uYAFqYDrO7bWH1vml9gyNJuvVqlfujfp1fXr2WF-ACJ2gyOw/s2048/unnamed%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHT2p7qQVz5FUt6mIqddlQRR-iAz2JruH8fp_8h-eB1jtlquCLh6-vlOhk0batK4aRxvrkqb_6aHnklRY1QovkcRXqQ-1b__52Oc1YfqU2s894HmGHId6sy0DdORgj-jpdCdijiub73uYAFqYDrO7bWH1vml9gyNJuvVqlfujfp1fXr2WF-ACJ2gyOw/s320/unnamed%20(2).jpg" width="180" /></span></a><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> I<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">n July 2020, I, Madhuri Gour from JBCN International School in Borivali, commenced my journey as an IAYP Award Leader Coordinator.

As it was during a time when everyone was home and we had to make a semi-offline diary, it was important to keep up a set routine to remain productive and not fall into the pit of lethargy.<br />We started with the adventure journey, planning and researching the hikes which we could have taken if the situation had been favourable. We filled up questionnaires to check what we would have done in the various scenarios which would take place during a trip. We made food for the trip and slept on a slightly uncomfortable surface, just to emulate the feeling of actually going on a hike.<br />Our time during quarantine also included polishing our hobbies and practicing our sports. I spent most of my time coding in different computer programming languages, having completed many online courses and playing football at least an hour a day. For voluntary work, I took care of my friend’s grandmother at home, spending time with her and sharing things from my life, while hearing stories from hers. Working on these things was a very good way to stay active, both mentally and physically.<br />I would like to thank Mrs. Anuradha Sharma for guiding me through my time in the bronze level, along with my friends who helped me out and were completing their bronze level with me, and The Lawrence School, Sanawar, for providing me with the opportunity to pursue this Award Programme!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9RA_0ip5MTBs2YQnQ-3W9geYJCQTyyJ3f5p4YraqRwn1_byd90L8u07Bwi1mArlWET8PmGB-3zy5QDmhNZRShB2xKUgS_-dRaYy6AN7Cw_c-aa0prGjDUQEUA2VOOK30lEp7d1Te3FL3CH894oty31ZkjAhCc7ej7ZtK3BmMCRbW1-POoFN43jHK8A/s551/Screenshot%202023-05-13%20222439.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="236" data-original-width="551" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9RA_0ip5MTBs2YQnQ-3W9geYJCQTyyJ3f5p4YraqRwn1_byd90L8u07Bwi1mArlWET8PmGB-3zy5QDmhNZRShB2xKUgS_-dRaYy6AN7Cw_c-aa0prGjDUQEUA2VOOK30lEp7d1Te3FL3CH894oty31ZkjAhCc7ej7ZtK3BmMCRbW1-POoFN43jHK8A/w640-h274/Screenshot%202023-05-13%20222439.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: Optima, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Candara, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p>The International Award for Young Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09374369669042707822noreply@blogger.com0
