In our Mysore zone, FSL-India\u2019s volunteers were invited to participate in\na Cultural Day celebration at Maharani\u2019s College. At the annual\ncultural event, our volunteers were warmly welcomed by the students. It\nwas good to see the celebrations where the whole college was decorated with\ncolours and all the students were dressed in traditional outfits. As soon as they\nsaw the volunteers, they began to shout out a smiling welcome to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 volunteers participated in this event and FSL-India\u2019s coordinator Manjunath Kannal was able to share with the students why volunteers come to India and what are FSL India\u2019s programs, where they could also be involved and what opportunities are available with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the speech, many students asked for our contact details and they seemed to be very interested in involvement with FSL-India\u2019s programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They came prepared with a theatre play about life in Germany. The college students were curious about watching a cultural program of a different country. FSL-India\u2019s volunteers were able to depict the people\u2019s life in Europe through a small skit. They covered the aspects of driving, punctuality, hotels, eating and how people get tensed by watching football matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, all the students requested a dance performance from our volunteers, so as per their request they danced the \u2018Macarena\u2019. All the girls expressed their appreciation very vocally and enjoyed the dance very much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end, they introduced themselves about their work. After that, we had lunch at the college and the girls took lots of selfies with the volunteers. It was amazing to see the college\nstudents participate so whole-heartedly in the college\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
