And biggest thing a project before formal installation of club..! Amazing..!
A joint project with Sponsors to start off with. The excitement and energy levels knew no bounds.
The idea was to have the first project declared as successful. And so we were..'SUCCESSFUL'..!
We started for the camp at 9:00 in the morning from our school. Planned a Mass Awareness rally throughout the way. Went shouting for the cause:
"1..2....3...4....
knock..knock at every door.
5..6..7..8.....
polio karo eradicate"
Full with enthusiasm we reached our destination in an hour. A slum called JJ clusters was the place we had the polio camp. Reaching there we were all set to work. We went into slums, volunteered for the cause, asked the people to help us by cooperating, encouraged the little children to come along us and get immunized.
What we got was a mixed reaction of people: some agreed, some appreciated and some hesitated.
But we didn't gave up. Kept telling them how important it is for a child to be immunized against Polio, encouraged them by every possible way we could, and perhaps at last we 'WON'!
We immunized a record 551 children within a short span of time from a single slum.
We felt very happy when we came to know that it was the highest immunization done by our sponsor club in a single day from a single place, and even more happy when they credited the success of project to us.
Our enthusiasm and excitement was doubled when we were joined by a foreign delegation of Rotarians from Rotary Club of Bicester (UK) and that too in our very first project.
They supported us, appreciated us, and most importantly they were highly impressed by us.
They requested us to be in touch with them and asked us to send our snaps to them so that they can inspire the youth in their area to work for a good cause.
We don't know if they inspired any but we were truly 'INSPIRED' hearing this..!!
