by Brother Jittin Mathew MUMBAI, OCT 22, 2018: Jannat Media Production in collaboration with Bosco Boys Home, Borivli organised a workshop on Personality Development for 20 children of the orphanage on October 14.
Pratima Karmarkar was the resource person for the workshop, and she stressed the importance of developing one's personality as it would help individuals make a mark on their employers or on society in general.
During the session that stretched for two hours, the boys were introduced to some soft skills with the help of creative and animated games. The session was well planned and divided into three parts, namely individual activities, partner activities, and group activities.
For the individual activities, the boys were given common tasks to perform and were evaluated on the basis of accuracy and spontaneity. For the other two activities, the boys were asked to prepare mimes and skits.
“Personality development goes a long way in reducing stress, conflicts and helps you develop a positive attitude in life. It helps an individual to inculcate positive qualities like punctuality, flexible attitude, willingness to learn, friendly nature, eagerness to help others,” Karmarkar said.
Deacon Romero D’Souza, the prefect of the boys, thanked Karmarkar and Director of the Media House, Nizamuddin Shah for their generous gesture towards the orphanage.
“Many of these activities were conducted and performed to help the boys develop their confidence and help them to express themselves more freely and explore their talents. I would like to thank the management and staff of Bosco Boys Home and Technical Institute for the support and co-operation offered towards us and for the good work they are doing and continue to do. God bless them,” Shah said.
“I really enjoyed the workshop and training they gave. I now feel confident to speak in front of the crowd, with the techniques shared in the workshop,” Naval Mane, a youth, said.
