This is indeed true. One month back we got the opportunity to interact with students from Canada ( click here to read) and now this time we had the opportunity of interacting with students from USA.
On 29th May, 2016, a group of students from Boston University, USA arrived in India. They were here India for there mission- Operations Groundswell. The strength of the group was around 20-25. The meeting was scheduled at our favorite place- Sitaram Ashram, Dehradun.
On behalf of TISA, 13 members marked their presence from as far as Hoshiarpur and Saharanpur. For a change, most of the members from Dehradun turned up as well !! The facilitator of the meeting was none other than our mentor, guru and friend Dr Sachin.
Comm WS Report
Media: Times of India, Daily Pioneer, Amazing Pics (Thank you, Ashish Lakra) Day 1: About 20 participants. Many from Delhi. One from Vijaywada. One from Makrana, Rajasthan. One from Jaunpur. A senior couple (Dhruv's parents) from Punjab. After a little intro and a little conceptual background, participants were requested to conduct mutual "stammering Interviews". Then, they went to local market for practicing the skills with strangers - also had lunch.
We gathered again at SR ashram by 3 pm. The scripts for role plays were distributed. Participants quickly went thru the scripts and assigned roles to their members. Some energizers. Some free flowing discussions - about stammering, its nature, why this or that.. We ended by 5 pm. But how can you end the ongoing discussions among pws..? Never.
So, many participants went to FRI, to carry on..
Day 2: We began at 9.30 am. Four participants (Vikas, Mohit, Ashish, Vishal) were sent off to MCF to interview the team there. Rest of us went to Gandhi Park in the heart of the city. Mrs Kathuria spoke to the person I/C of District Information Departments' pandal in the park; As a result she got us the mike, stage and the entire venue for free (you see, why we should be involving our parents in our struggles and missions..?).
We did role plays, to cheering audience. Some ex-tempore stuff, songs, Dr APJ speech by Abhay etc etc. We concluded with an on the spot role play: A funny Scene from a moving local bus. Mohit was the conductor in the great hurry. All the pws were the passengers. Buying the ticket was the crux of the play. We all had LOTS of fun.. We ended with slogan- Haklao magar Pyar se.. to which audience also joined.
Two hours later, the scene changed: we were at FRI. The vast lawns. With a mighty backdrop of a huge Victorian building.. We again staged some plays; feedback round- some fun, Ravi Teja did a Rajnikant act (mind it) - and then we returned to SR Ashram for more of unstructured discussion.. till cold and hunger made it impossible to stand and talk..
Day 3 The day began at 9.30 am with some informal feedback and discussion. Pramod ji gave a very nice Republic day speech, followed by the group singing Indian national anthem.
Shyam Sundar ji gave us a good presentation about marble industry. Ravi Teja gave a thought provoking talk about the recent suicide by a Research scholar at Hyderabad.
Random topics were given from a bowl full of small slips. Abhay did time-keeping. Outside under the trees, an interview panel was organised, consisting of Mrs Kathuria, Mr Fakhruddin Sheikh and Ms Indira Ramesh. Most interviewee did feel the heat but also enjoyed it. It was a good learning experience.
Madhav had a little stomach upset. Others were having un-ending discussions. Delhi group had planned to have the next communication workshop in Delhi - sometime in April. Some participants had plans of visiting Mussoorie (dont worry about the cold!).
Two new participants had come from Dehradun itself. They were quite impressed by our show at Gandhi park, in the heart of the town. They were advised to keep in touch with local SHG through Whatsapp. They too had their chance of giving ex-tempore presentations. At one point, we had a very interesting discussion about: In an arranged marriage, should the boy tell the girl about stammering in advance? (we will share the answer in the next workshop!!). We dispersed at 2 pm after group photo shoot. We hope to start a unit in TISA, dealing with families of PWS, with help from Dhruv's parents..
We were 9 members for the meetup.
1.Purna 2.Ramu 3.Aravind 4.Vishnu 5.Siva 6.Manikumar 7.Ramesh 8.Rajsekhar 9.Rajesh
Our main agenda was prepared speeches and meditation.
Every member has given two prepared speeches and impressed other members.
We see great improvements in members who have prepared their speech were able to deliver it more confidently.
We want to realize our vision by having good strength and deliver speeches which could make us stronger and cherish beautiful moments of delivering speech in front of huge crowd.
After meetup we are trying to give free training for our members on java technology by RajSekhar. This could help other members to get job in IT field.
Wow SHGs are true meaning of self help.
Together we step up and together we succeed.
The best take away from Chennai SHG
Chapter is Head Movements technique, Yoga with acupuncture and
acupressure methods and Manimaran ji's classes on stammering and his selfless
service to PWS.
You are only expected to be attentive
in classes and and rest all Manimaran ji and Ganesh ji
will take care right from excellent food to bed. Our sincere thanks
for the homely atmosphere being created by them for such meetings.The effort they have taken while providing these luxuries is very much appreciable.
I shall appreciate Mani ji for turning his flat into SHG centre and delivering his excellent services to PWS.
You don't need to pay for staying at
SHG center, just pay for your food.
Simply to say the SHG center was like a 2nd
home for everyone.

I
have attended the SHG meeting on Sunday the 20th Oct 2013 at Central
Park, Connaught Place. This was my first ever meeting ever since I first came to
know about it in National Conference at Indian Social Institute in Delhi.
Today a total of nine PWS attended the meeting. The meeting started with a
silence for two minutes. Then a formal introduction was given about every PWS
stating his name,occupation and address.
