Hallow Everybody!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In continuation to the previous blog post on 3rd<\/sup> July, once again I am here to update you with recent developments at Rishikesh Work Camp. In spite of little challenges, it goes without saying that the camp is running very successfully. Undoubtedly the volunteers enjoy every bit of moment which I am sure leaves an indelible mark in the heart and mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, let me begin with a point to elucidate a bit more. As part of the inter-cultural learning the volunteers visited many temples and could catch a glimpse of the rituals and religious activities. As it was a momentary exposure, they found hard to understand the complexities of the local religious practice. However, during the daily meeting many of their doubts \"\"<\/a>were clarified. The volunteers are exceedingly happy to interact with India women. Recitation of few Hindi words such as \u201cAap ka naam kiya hae\u201d,<\/em> \u201cAap kaise haen\u201d<\/em> etc. drew them close to the Indian women who also took interest to know about the wellbeing of the volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Yoga and Meditation session begun, everybody was thrilled and had a reincarnating experience. Everybody is participating and pursuing all the session with great diligence and regularity.\u00a0 Hope this experience will bear lasting impression on them for self-development as many of them are still in their formative stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Activity with the school children and educational paintings is another spectacular event that has been concurrently taking place at MRS School. While engaging the children in fun activities and games, the volunteers teach them English and rhymes as well. Teachers at the school who reluctantly responded in the beginning are now very cooperative and take a chance to interact with the volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The breath-taking scenic beauty of The River Ganga alongside the skyrocketing hills and continuous \"\"<\/a>influx of devotees, keep the volunteers occupied with questions on the local religious practice. As regards to the typical North-Indian food, volunteers are enjoying themselves. However, for some still it is a matter time to get oneself adjusted with the local food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As of now we wish to share with you this much. To know more about Rishikesh Camp, please read our next blog post.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
