Mission smile

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

We all have a fair share of joy and happiness in our life, these moments are the moments that we 

cherish throughout our lives. But we forget that how lucky we are that we have people with whom we share these moments. To share some these moments of our lives with the unprivileged children, we the students” As Level” of Xavier International Academy went to a school in Kamalpokhari with an objective to make each and every student happy and make them smile.

We had divided ourselves into groups, in total there were nine groups with each group consisting about 6 to 8 members. we all had different ideas on how would lit their faces with smiles. Some of us took a scientific approach, by presenting the students with different scientific wonders such as holograms, virtual reality using the “wow” factor to entertain the students. Some of us used the “fun” factor to entertain the students by indulging the students in various games and competition, and yes what can bring smiles on the faces of people better than a joker, and we had two of them.

On the 17^th November, 2017 we left the college at 9:15 AM to Kamalpokhari, with all of having a single objective i: e lighting up the school with smiles all around. When we reached there at about 11 AM. We were really shocked, when we had the glimpse of the school. We had never thought in our dreams that, such a school even existed.

 A small compound, small rooms, which are even smaller than my ow bed room, they all shared a common toilet. But they welcomed us with enthusiasm and joy. After a short lecture from the principle of that school, all the 9 groups were assigned a class. Every class we visited were full of different students belonging to different class and economic background but all in search for education. Though they lacked economic stability but they surely did not lack talent. We meet some children with immense potential of becoming someone valuable to the society in the coming future.  Seeing their talents really shocked us all. We were all in love with those children. Seeing their faces lit with smiles also helped us overcome mental and physical exhaustion. But unfortunately, our time was up, we really wanted some more time with them. At the end we had a dance to wrap up the program, and clicked some photos capturing these wonderful moments with those children. We left the school around 4:30 PM realizing, how privileged we are, and how ignorant we had been. These 4 hours were the most wonderful times of my life. I would really like to thank the college for providing with such a wonderful opportunity to visit this place and be a reason for someone’s smile.
