Students of Form 4 went for a field trip to Om Foundation on 10th May,
2013. This was to further their enquiry on the theme-Sharing the Planet and the
following central idea-
‘Distribution of wealth affects communities and
individuals’ access to equal opportunities’.
Om foundation is a secular Charitable Trust which started its journey
in the year 2002 with a mission to provide all-round development to the weaker
section of the society and educate kids from the urban slums of Noida and has
now become the habitat of the underprivileged.

Despite the warm weather, students were excited and were all geared up
for interacting with the students of Om Foundation.
On reaching the place they
were quite fascinated to interact with the students and also found them very
open minded and knowledgeable. They also
admired the art and craft work done by the students in every nook and
corner of the classroom.
The young learners could relate to their inquiry in
their classroom how by bringing opportunities to the underprivileged they could
actually alter the childhood of an underprivileged child and bring a smile to
their face.
It was in fact a delight to watch the young learners enjoy a visit to
a place where they had a question answer session with the Principal of Om
Foundation Mrs. Rekha also had a one to one interaction with the students. It was
amazing to hear the students of Grade 9
sing a beautiful patriotic song for the
Pathways students and our students also presented a Hindi Song for them.
Students enjoyed the field trip and have surely gathered information
which will help them think deeply about their responsibility as a citizen
towards their community and the world.
