ANGEL XPRESS FOUNDATION

The primary objective of the CAS programme with Angel Xpress Foundation (AXF) was teaching the AXF students general knowledge and basic skills to compliment their academic learning, while making the sessions interactive and fun. It also involved a program where each DAIS student was assigned to mentor one student from AXF. These covered multiple topics including Mental Math, Art and the Cultural & Historical diversity of India.

 

We started with our session by talking about the culture and traditions of India with the aim to improve their general understanding of our country and all that it is known for. We held sessions discussing the geography of India. We spoke about South India, North India, West India and East India, along with their impressive geographical features, their exotic natural beauties, the vastly varying cuisines of food, the dance forms, as well as their traditional clothing. We explored the students' interests in the famous sports across India such as cricket. We delved into famous personalities from India's past and present, enriching the students appreciation for our vibrant culture.

 

After exploring Indian culture and helping the students build upon their general awareness, we shifted our focus to building their skills in mental maths to complement their academic learning and help them perform better in their studies. We brushed up on mathematical operations, taught them concepts such as BODMAS, and helped them complete mathematical puzzles. Though the students faced some obstacles, they worked hard to overcome them and became proficient in the activities they participated in.

Along with being good at academics, many of the students from AXF also showed proficiency and a keen interest in art. Therefore, we decided to create an AXF art booklet to showcase talents. This include pieces ranging from portraits to landscapes done in different mediums.

 

 

Therefore, through an exhilarating journey of exploration along with holistic development, we were elated to empower the students with our share of knowledge. Their eagerness coupled with their sincerity made it a great learning experience for us as well as the students!
