My Time My Fun

DAY 4 : 11th May 2014 – MY TIME MY FUN – Ongoing summer work shop for the children from the slums of Patlipada, Thane West. The children were taken through the basics of public speaking to improve their oratory skills and body language while facing an audience. Eye contact, gestures & posture while facing the audience, smiling & greeting were all demonstrated and explained. Then the children came up one by one and spoke on the topic ‘My Family’. It was heartening to watch them speak confidently, despite their drawback with pronunciation and sentence structure and they carefully tried to implement all the points learnt during the session. As they watched each other perform, they became thorough with the do’s and don’ts of speaking before an audience.
