Feeling happiness and having a sense of belonging is a very significant segment of our well-being. Growing up I have seen many unprivileged people not able to experience happiness and experience starvation. They don’t have enough food for daily nutrition and to feed their and their family’s stomachs. As a result of all these observations I decided to help them and make them feel belonged within their surroundings. Therefore, for the upcoming festivals, such as Utrayan, Diwali and many more festivals, I decided to feed them delicious and nutritious food and interact with them. Along with that make them play a few interesting games. It was a perplexing experience and made me reflect and feel grateful for a lot of aspects in my life.
L2- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken developing new skills
Primarily, the challenges that I faced during this experience, was interacting with the unprivileged people, they didn’t seem to like the idea of opening up with a stranger. But after a little interaction and building connections, they started opening up and taking part in the games and other activities.
L6-engagement with issues of global significance
The global significance that was engaged in this particular experience was reducing class inequality and reducing hunger through this contribution. Though this was a compact step towards a bigger goal, I hope such actions motivates and encourages other individuals to achieve the SDG’s of no poverty, zero hunger and a good health and well being. We provided them with a healthy and delicious meal such as Pav Bhaji and they enjoyed having supper that day. Correspondingly, this experience brought a sense of belonging and inclusiveness into the community, this may assist in reducing many detrimental factors faced in the society and help lead to a better and finer future.
L7-Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions
The ethics of this choice and actions may be reflected upon the harmony within the community and better human development index in the long run. The ethics of such choices may reduce many detrimental factors faced in the society such as reduction in the crime rates due to lost sense of acceptance and if such actions continue, it will assist in a stronger and unified community.
