AIDS DAY AWARNESS PROGRAMME- NSS

 AIDS DAY AWARNESS

29 NOVEMBER 2024

November 29, 2024, we, the students of Sabarigiri College of Education, observed an AIDS Awareness Day program under the guidance of the NSS unit. The highlight of the day was a street play at Anchal Chandamuk bus stand emphasizing the importance of AIDS awareness and its consequences, scripted by our peer Shifana. A total of 39 teacher trainees, including myself, actively participated in the performance.

The story revolved around a family where the husband, who led an irresponsible life involving alcohol and extramarital relationships, contracted AIDS. Despite his deteriorating health, his wife remained a supportive caregiver for him and their two children. Unfortunately, she also contracted the disease from her husband. The husband's neglect led to the progression of his illness, culminating in his death, which the community mistakenly attributed to alcoholism. Tragedy struck again when the youngest child, still breastfeeding, succumbed to AIDS contracted from the mother. The mother faced societal stigma, with people wrongly assuming she engaged in inappropriate behavior after her husband's death. Isolated but resilient, she and her elder daughter learned to live a life of dignity by seeking proper medical care and treatment.

The play highlighted that AIDS is not easily transmissible and can be managed with antiretroviral therapy (ART). The program concluded with a group song promoting awareness, followed by the display of placards carrying impactful messages. I played one dialogue part in the introduction. The event was a great success, leaving a strong impression on the audience. We hope it brought meaningful changes to their attitudes and knowledge about AIDS. Afterward, we shared refreshments and dispersed, carrying the satisfaction of contributing to a significant cause.

  TEACHING PRACTICE WEEK 4 : Monday (04/08/2025) to Friday (08/08/2025) REFLECTION ON SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 04/08/2025-Day 17 On the 17th day of my first phase of teaching practice, I reached the school by 9:00 am. After reporting to the office and signing the attendance register, I took up my assigned discipline duty in the High School section. Following the morning prayer, we settled in our allotted rooms. Since it was Monday, I did not have any subject hours scheduled. A little later, my concerned subject teacher, Renija Miss, entrusted me with the responsibility of completing the attendance register and the Noon Feeding attendance register for her class. This task was a new learning experience for me, as I wasn’t previously aware that a separate register existed specifically for noon feeding attendance. I successfully completed both registers. During the third period, I observed my peer teacher trainee’s class for 8th standard students. Overall, it was a good session. The teacher u...

We, a group of 43 NSS volunteers along with our teachers Jaseena Miss, Sreedevi Miss, and Prathibha Miss, traveled to the school . We reached the school at 10:30 AM and were warmly welcomed by the students and teachers. Due to space constraints, we arranged the seating outside, ensuring a comfortable setup for all.

One student, Appu, was very active and energetic, not worrying about his disabilities.  Some small ch...
