Kundapura Work Camp (FSL-WC-524 )
Number of Volunteers- 18
Theme: Social / Kids
This is Vandana, the Work Camp Communicator reporting the highlights of the FSL-WC 524 Kundapura Camp. The camp began on 9th July and ended on 22nd July 2012. The camp had 18 highly motivated volunteers whose spirits were never dampened by the heavy monsoon rains of Kundapur!!! The team chose two schools- U.B.M.C School and Government Primary School for their activities. The Camp began with wall painting and educational drawing on the school walls. The activities included “teach through games” where the volunteers taught English to school students through various games and activities.
The highlight of the Camp was the involvement of the volunteers in paddy transplantation”. The team leaders-Deepak and Sharath, took the volunteers to the Paddy fields and it was great fun to watch the volunteers work in harmony with the local farmers- “Inter-cultural learning at its roots”!! FSL-India then donated rain coats and the local headgear-“HAALE” to the farmers.
The volunteers also had the taste of Indian cooking session when the team leader demonstrated the Indian way of cooking kebabs (roasted chicken fritters).
