25 youth from the TAYMI Pune and the Youth Encounter for Meaning Goa visited the project on 11th November.
The youth were given a brief orientation of the foundation and then sent in groups into 2 slum communities to experience through a wide range of tasks what life in the community is all about. This exposure was a first time for a lot of them and helped present a new perspective. A lot of them came back overwhelmed by the openness and warmth and generosity extended to them by the community and a contrast to the many blessings the take for granted.
Each group then made a 10 minute presentation on their learnings and experience in the community. This was followed by 30 minutes of song and dance led by the youth. The Poveda kids enjoyed the action songs and participated whole heartedly in these.
