Muktangan 2019-20


The community-led, student-friendly NGO - Muktangan, aims to bridge gaps in education for under-served communities. They aim to foster an empowered world of harmony, freedom of expression, respect, and integrity. We contribute by planning interactive educational sessions with the students.

 

The first half of the year, we focused on improving their command over English, in the hope that this would improve future job prospects. We conducted innovative word games and quizzes, built up their general knowledge on topics like current affairs, science, literature and Indian history. During the latter half, we mostly developed mathematical skills. We learnt from them as well. They had a remarkable knowledge of Indian history, the spirit of collaboration, and a burning desire to learn.

 

 

 

To prepare for our CAS fete stall, we made decorations using recycled paper. We conducted two games at our stall: 'Knock the Cans' and '7 Up 7 Down'. One trouble we faced as a team was constantly rearranging the cans and running to retrieve the balls, especially during peak hours. With '7 Up 7 Down', we struggled to explain the game to younger children, but they greatly enjoyed 'Knock the Cans'. Since Muktangan didn't have any merchandise, we sold personalised notebooks to raise money. While we initially struggled to attract customers, once children started seeing the notebooks of their peers, they too wanted to make their own customized books. We even had two Muktangan alumni visit our stall and insist on helping. This was a really sweet moment for all of us!
