Another volunteer\u2019s aspect of spending time abroad is getting to\nknow a new culture, learning about its traditions, foods, songs, and finally\nbeing able to feel comfortable in your new home. FSL-India organized yoga\nclasses, where every morning, the volunteers practised yoga at sessions conducted\noutdoors at the centre, with Vivek, an expert Vedic Yoga teacher. To quote him,\n\u201cYoga means \u2018union,\u2019 and when it is practised outdoors, it seems like the union\nwith nature, humanity, and the universe is truly felt,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first week of the camp, the volunteers participated in kitchen garden maintenance and different skilled activities at Neralakatte Gov. Primary School. Totally, 48 children, 4 school staff, 3 kitchen helpers and 8 SCDMC members took the initiative in this program. The participants visited a cashew factory to learn about cashew nut processing and had a lively interaction with the workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They visited Nammaboomi, an eco-village charitable trust, conducted a puzzle contest and country presentation of Canada and Italy. After conducting a quiz for the kids, they distributed prizes and taught about waste management to the children. The children were curious to know the interesting facts about zero waste system and nature. FSL-India also organized a Bollywood movie night to learn about Indian cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The volunteers visited Koteshwara Kotilingeswara temple, Koteshwara Lake, and the Hanuman statue. They also visited an Indian family and celebrated local New Year (hostu in Kannada) with lunch on traditional banana leaves with the family members. The volunteers enjoyed the hands-on experience and interaction with the schoolchildren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
