Uttam
Módenes: a practical lesson via videoconference about NGO’s, sustainability and
economic systems with 11th grade students from Celia Viñas High
School
The week after
a similar videoconference with seventh graders, the teacher of ‘Science for the
Contemporary World’ (CMC), Encarnación Segura López, and 11th grade students
had a practical class in which some of them asked questions to the founder of
Asha-Kiran concerning India's economy, sustainability, and other issues
relevant to the subject of CMC, which had been previously taught. At the end of
the videoconference, Uttam encouraged young people to work, to live in justice
and solidarity, and to protect the environment. In short, he encouraged every
one of us to do his/her bit, from our daily activities, to make our world
better.
ADA, one of
the students, wrote:
"It
was the first time I was in a videoconference and I must say I was surprised by
how a high school class can now talk to the founder of an NGO in India to which
a teacher in our high school belongs, who was also present.
It seems an
admirable endeavor in every way, which I’d love to do at some point in my life.
I think of all the people who have been, are being and will be benefited by this
man’s will and desire to help them; it is touching and amazing.
Hopefully
there will still be other people like this to change the world; we will help
them by doing our part."
