Dayamudra) and we offered a training based in the Dhamma, with meditation and puja at the beginning and end of each day, skillfully led by Rejimon. In the morning sessions there was Communicative English, drawing on interactive student-centered activities which developed students confidence in the areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Basic yoga stretches were a part of this session, as were some team-building games, which the students really enjoyed. This was followed by sessions where we reflected the qualities of a Master Student, goal-setting and time management. In the early afternoon session we explored Stress Management and Mindfulness Development, culminating in a Self-Care Action Plan. In the late afternoon Arun led some very thought-provoking presentations and debates on the history of the caste system, Indian Buddhism and Ambedkarism.       Another joy was the participation of many graduates from the Nagaloka Training Institute in Nagpur. The maturity and leadership of these youth were exemplary, and several students expressed an interest in attending the Nagaloka course themselves.

In their reporting-out they told us of how their self-confidence had increased, how their vision for their own lives had expanded, and how supported they felt thanks to the new friendships they had made.We all shed a few tears as we departed. It was a wonderful experience and I feel very grateful for the way we created a sangha community and lived together for 6 days, inspired by the Buddha and by the vision of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. Jai Bhim! Dh. Dayamudra, Creative Director Jai Bhim International     we welcome your support of our youth projects. thank you.  jai bhim international -caste-free generation- dr. ambedkar sakya hostels january 2012 jai bhim hungary barefoot bhangra 2011 home |
