Where did the communication go wrong?
On the last day of the summer camp, guests were called for prize distribution among the children. The guests encouraged the children by sharing their experiences.
Speaking to the kids, senior journalist Ghazanfar Abbas said, “I love this facility because I always see what goes on here. Every youngster puts up a lot of effort, and your behavior reflects that. To gain recognition, you must keep up your hard work, but make sure that your good deeds are what make you popular.”
Asif Shahid, founder of Ad-Shala, commended the center’s activities, noting, “The productivity of the teachers is evident in your activities. Your inquisitiveness with the guests, your confidence, and your constant hard work stand out. Continue on this path; it is the surest route to success.”
The students were praised and encouraged by Syed Umair Afzal, the SIO Delhi Zone secretary and camp convener. He gave an explanation of the camp’s goal, saying, “We want to impart new knowledge using creative approaches. The better version of yourself should stand out from the crowd when you reintegrate into society. Talk to as many people as you can about the new knowledge you have gained.”
At the end of the summer camp, the children who achieved first place in the activities were awarded certificates of appreciation and prizes, generating great excitement among all the participants.
