Top slip is a favorite tourist destination that is at a 3.5 hours drive from Coimbatore. But the WWS team was there on the Saturday evening for a different reason. A team of five people from WWS reached Top slip tribal school at 5 PM, met the students and staff of the school and had a discussion about engaging the students in different events for the following Sunday.

At 9:30 AM, WWS reached the school. The students had their breakfast and were expecting the team. We were amazed at the students’ enthusiasm to come to school on a Sunday. We had kept our expectation low because we were visiting a school at a remote location where schooling was not considered as an essential part. But we were surprised at the increase in strength to the last time we visited the school!.
Our team got introduced and chitchatted with the students for a few minutes. We started off with screening a documentary video - THE PLANET, that ran for 30 minutes.

After lunch, kids who were interested in dancing and singing performed 8 solo dances and 2 children drew beautiful picture of Goddess Saraswathi and sceneries. It was an incredible sight to watch a kid who has the talent of walking with his hand!
Our team then discussed with the students and teachers about their requirements for school and hostel, sports facilities,etc. When we left the school by 6:00 PM the students and the staff there told us it was a memorable day for them and so for us. This is the second activity from the WWS’s Green Book project.
We need all your support and encouragement to go-ahead and help these children find a better way to live. Join hands with us, let us make a difference.

Following it we made a statistical report on 46 students who were absent last week, the report included their name, name and occupation of their parents, goals, handwriting, reading ability in Tamil and English. One first standard kid said his dream was to become conservator of forests and many kids had their own dreams of becoming Collector (IAS officer is what they meant), Doctor n so on.At that moment whatever doubts we had vanished and we were determined to do all it takes to assist them in making their dreams true. This report would help to improve the educational status of the children.Our volunteer making the statistical report
Following it, we screened funny animal videos for 20 minutes and the kids enjoyed the videos.
