600 school children celebrate Independence Day at ISB campuses
Students of Net Impact Club at ISB mark tenth anniversary of Bandhan, salute the spirit of freedom with a difference
August 17, 2015:
The students of the Indian School of Business (ISB) celebrated the 69th
Independence Day with 600 children from various NGOs across both the
Hyderabad and Mohali campuses (400 at Hyderabad and 200 at Mohali). The
day also marked the tenth anniversary of Bandhan, the flagship
initiative of the Net Impact Club at ISB. The day was full of learning,
fun and joy, whereby the children celebrated the true spirit of freedom
at the ISB campuses.
To
celebrate this special occasion, the Net Impact Club initiated the
“Prelude to Bandhan”; a series of workshops that hosted 120 children
over 5 weekends. The aim was to have a continued relationship with the
children and impart life skills through fun filled activities such as
Dance, Music, Public Speaking, Arts and Ultimate Frisbee. Leadership
skills were imparted to the children with training sessions themed on
Passion, Confidence, Team work and Problem solving. The grand finale was
hosted on the Independence Day with over 600 kids present on the
campuses for an entire day. The students of ISB came together to
volunteer and organise various events for the children.
The
children showed off their artistic and intellectual abilities through a
host of performances and activities throughout the day.
The
day started with dance and drama performances by the children followed
by a series of team-building activities. Interactive learning games were
organised by the Magic Bus, which was present on campus. The student
community also engaged actively with the children through Dream Circles,
where students spoke to the kids about the different career goals that
they could aspire to and the different professional roles that they
could pursue.
At
the Mohali campus, Sports and Do-It-Yourself sessions were also held,
with relay races, the lemon-and-spoon race and dodge ball. Anuj Sharma,
popularly known as the Raincoat Santa, conducted the Do-It-Yourself
session for the children, wherein he taught them to make bags out of
cloth, rubber bands and buttons.
A
group of AIESEC members from countries such as Tunisia, the Gulf and
Egypt participated in the day’s events and contributed to its success.
The children then raced to the photo-booth, took photos with a placard
reading their ambitions. “I want to become a teacher in my own school,”
said Rekha, who studies in the government school in Rajipur. The kids
were endlessly curious about the school, the campus and the students,
and many were convinced that they would grow up and study here someday.
For Mandeep, it was a wonderful day out. “I had a lot of fun, learnt how
to make a bag and met students from other schools,” he said.
Beautiful
dance performances by all the children wrapped up the event. The
involvement of the kids in every stage of the event, right from
organising to compering to performing, made it an event truly by the
children and for the children. The day ended with the students pledging
to perpetuate the legacy of Bandhan in a more engaging and empowering
manner.
Bandhan
is celebrated annually by the students of ISB to salute the spirit of
independence with a difference. They learn to give back to society, a
learning which the students take back once they graduate from the
School.
