Finding Wholeness in a Classroom of Smiles

A couple of days back, I visited a school for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) children, hoping to make a small difference. Along with donating books and money, I spent hours with the students, teaching and playing with them. The day turned out to be more meaningful than I had imagined.
One incident that stood out to me was when a young girl, maybe seven or eight, showed me her drawing of a house surrounded by trees and a bright sun. She explained each detail with such excitement; her eyes sparkled with pride. The simplicity and innocence of her joy reminded me of the pure happiness we often forget in our busy lives.
During a math lesson, a boy struggled with basic subtraction, so I took extra time to help him understand. After several tries, he finally solved a problem on his own. He looked up at me with a big grin, and I felt a sense of completeness I rarely experience.
I've decided to visit every week, spending time with these wonderful children. Every visit promises learning, laughter, and a feeling of true wholeness that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Wow. Teaching children and spending time with them can truly make you learn new things.
