Little Children lead the way!
Yes, you will be surprised that fifteen enterprising children just put a question to their animator, "Can we run a stall with religious articles during the week of the Novena in preparation for the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary? This suggestion was actively taken up by the staff at Suryodaya Samaj Kendra, Gorai and then took the required from the Parish Fathers. On the 28th August, 2015 during their Bal Sansad Meeting, the staff from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm, carefully explained to the children the responsibilities and the discipline required to be maintained while handling the proposed endeavour. They were then lead through a leadership exercise and explained how they would need to handle all kinds of people who would question them and how they would need to deal with them in a professional business manner, at the same time ensuring that they would become their customer.
The children reportedly did a brisk sale of religious articles and they even reported a profit as they maintained a daily rigour of submitting accounts to their animator.
"It was indeed a learning experience, as we learnt how to handle money and keep simple accounts", mentioned one boy from the team. Another girl remarked, "It was so necessary to be careful while replying to all the aunties and uncles and not say anything more than required".
All in all it was a really good experience in growing up responsibly!
