A two-day motivational workshop for creating awareness towards education amongst children and their parents who belong to the have-nots of the Indian society was held in Bhopal on Saturday and Sunday.
The participants took part in the workshop most enthusiastically with a resolve to improve their lot by giving Education the top most priority in their lives and thereby adore themselves with this precious jewel.
The workshop was organised in Kanchan School in Sanjay Nagar, a slum in Shahjahanbad locality at the foothills of Idgah, by MESCO AlEEF Bhopal Chapter, affiliated to MESCO, a NGO of Hyderabad that is working in the field of Education & Health.
NGO Nida-us-Safa Education and Welfare Society presented new clothes and other gift items to the children on the first day of the workshop.
The speakers in their addresses put their hearts out to convince and impress upon the participants, especially the parents, the importance of education in one’s life.
The speakers tried their level best to make the parents realise their responsibilities and duties and come out of their reverie and spring into action to rear their wards with all sincerity and attention.
This in turn would trigger such a chain-reaction that the new generation flowers in such a manner that when it takes its due place in society it gives back something worthwhile and not be just takers while they were in their formative years.
At the end of the workshop the parents and kin of kids, many of whom were unlettered, were so much overwhelmed that they spontaneously raised their hands to learn Hindi, Urdu and Arabic languages along with other regular courses.
