My Experience in Audacious Dreams Foundation, India

My first entry/intro to Audacious Dreams Foundation was through my friend priyason. One day me and my friend vinod went to see priyason to office that is our Adf in 2013. Then only I got intro with Dinesh sir( The Day which changed my life). Then he briefed about the organization, IAYP and all other works they do. It’s was about 3hrs of explanation. After hearing these things we went back to home. I got inspired and thought if we join in award and keep in touch with Audacious Dreams sure we will learn something new. As same I thought I learned and learning many things when ever I go to office in the free time.

The first project I joined with them is Rajathi Raja a mega inter fest school cum college culturals on the topic of Eradicating Child Labour. The event went successfully in which this was my first event management. Learnt the logistics, communication, crowd maintenance etc.

So after the successful completion of the program. There was an workshop from IAYP training panel ( Buvijit and Kapil sharma) where we met new people’s and teachers from various backgrounds. Also met a new srilankan friend Mr. Malhardeen Mohamed, such an interesting and talented guy.

Then in the December month , we did an Unmanifesto project it’s about the Election campaign. We collected thousands of promises throughout Tamilnadu and Pondicherry . In that we sorted best 10 +1 promises and from which ours 4 promises has been selected in the YouthkiAwaaz brouchers. In the same year I started my professional services to the nursing students by teaching them English, Computer science and Hindi at free of cost, which improved my speaking skills.

Then the organization brought a new DSLR Camera. In which I tried to learn it and became familiar in photography as I had an interest in photography already. From that most of photos were clicked by me.

In February 2014, first time taught drama to school students for Annual Day in St.John’s School, Gudiyatham through mfj. Where met many talented students. In that Naveen was one of the students whose acting was awesome.

Then in May 2014, I attended EYLP (Empowering Young Leaders Potential) summer graduation program. in the program all we PG students from various places. That’s the first which changed my thoughts. Learnt what’s Gender equality, how to speak with others, few physiological terms , Common Wealth Organization. Mainly Lifeskills, an important thing we should learn in our life. Then we prepared lifeskills curriculum by discussing in groups & surfing through internet.

After the successful completion of EYLP, we launched Challenge India program first time in Vellore (St.Mary’s girls high school, Vellore). The classes will be mostly in Saturday. So when ever I get leave used to go there.

On August 20, 2014 I got my EYLP graduation certificate.

In the month of September first time I got a chance to go out of Vellore District. I went to Trichy Jamal Mohammed College(13,000+ arts & science students where studying) with Dinesh sir for International Literacy day where Dinesh sir delivered a speech about IAYP to the students. In the morning session it’s was boys and in afternoon session it was girls. There I met 10+ young scientist in that Surendar, Kavikanan and Kumerasan was among those. That day was most memorable day in my life as it was first time I delivered a speech of my experience among 500+ youth girls.

In the month of October we conducted , Girl summit - 2014. On that day more than 100 volunteers and 20 interns joined with us . The program held in St.Mary’s School. I was in photography department. That’s was the first time I was been as photographer full day. The day ended with sweet memories and a new beginning.

Then in 2015, there was CYSDP toolkit workshop held in the month of March. Also I got my Bronze award of IAYP from the principal of Auxillum college.

Then again in this year got a chance to choreo for a Drama in Green Valley Public School, Natrampali. Here to enjoyed everyday with students teaching, talking and much more fun.

Then EYLP version 2 occurred in the end of April and starting of may. In which I was not a participant, I was a mentor. The participants from various district of Tamilnadu came. Where there was a three days Science festival in Anuvrat Vidhyalaya School, near pallikonda, Vellore district. Met many students. Use to translate Tamil to English for my friends who studied in Tamil medium. But now they are more fluent in English.

Then I got a chance to participate in India Srilanka Youth Exchange program - 2015. As I couldn’t travel to Srilanka. Just met all the members in India on Independence day August 15, 2015. We went to APCA. Met officers. On the day evening it was raining. Even though we all around 40members went to Vaalu movie in Vellore. Then finished our Dinner together and I went back to my home.

Then in 2k16, February there was Annual Award ceremony. In which I received my Silver Award from Kapil sharma & my mentor certificate of EYLP 2015.
