Kickstarting English Bootcamp and Health workshops

Today we kickstarted our workshops at Guru Harkrishan School with the 6-10th graders. We split up into 2 teams.

One team consisted of Pahulmeet and Mauricio who started their first day of a 3-week English bootcamp. In the beginning of the period, they had the students take an anonymous English assessment to gauge the students reading, comprehension, and conversational skills. In the end, they had the kids practice introducing themselves and other students in the class.

The second team consisted of Bhavkaran, Dilpreet and Harkiren. This team’s goal is to discuss health and healthy living with the students. Today they gave an assessment in which the students were able to tell them what they know about 5 different areas of health: physical health, mental health, healthy eating, healthy living, and infectious diseases.

After a day of work at the school, we rested at home and prepared for the next day. We were also able to brainstorm some ideas with Manu Oberai, who is also doing community work in Punjab.
