1) I was lost in crowd When I was a kid, I was with my mother. Suddenly I

was left behind because of heavy crowd and I was lost in crowd.

I kept standing there only, and kept waiting for my mother to come.

My mother always says that ‘‘if by chance you are lost anywhere be on that place where you left behind.’’

And then after some time my mother found me , after that I always follow my mother’s instruction.

A) Short reflective accounts of significant life experiences

2) My First Karate Fight At the age of 11 my first state level karate

fight was with a girl who was taller and elder than me, I was scared to fight with her

But when the fight started I used techniques instead of showing power

And then I won the fight, which increased my confidence level for the next fights.

3) Cooking Food at first time Once I was alone at my home and some relative

arrived at my premises I was making pulse for them but I was trying

that first time so it became very salty. I was very afraid that how would I serve this to my guests.

So I called my mother, she advised me to put a small piece of dough into it and then stir it for some time.

Suddenly it became normal and I served it. All appraised my cooking.

Facilitation of Group Working

Child labour has been an international concern because it damages, spoils and destroys the future of children.

Children are the hope and future of a nation. yet, there are millions deprived children in our country who have never known a normal, carefree childhood.

Role Play on Child labour

The law in Indian soil says that any child below age of 14 cannot be employed either in a factory or office or restaurant.

Causes of Child Labour Now what is the background of engaging child

labour, To have or increase the income of a poor family To reduce the labour cost in a production

organization Misc. reasons for engaging as domestic aid as

the children are less doubtful about dishonesty or less liable to misbehave or be violent.

The solutions to the problem of Child Labour are:

The Child labour laws need to be strictly enforced by the Government.

The general public need to be made aware of the severe consequences of Child labour.

An increase in employment opportunity for adults would help in overcoming the problem of poverty and child labour.
