 INTRODUCTION
As directed and under the guidelines by ASTU, we the students of
Jorhat Engineering College are undergoing our social internship in
Snehalaya -Don Bosco. It has been a great experience and immense joy
for us to bond with the children residing here in different homes. We
would like to thank Birendra Baxla Sir for guiding us during the
internship and solving all the queries. Interacting with the kids and
understanding the problems underlying beneath, we hope to make a
thorough project on this, providing constructive suggestions with a will
to make children’s life better.
 TRAINEES OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the trainees during the internship are:
• To understand and implement the theories related to child development.
• To display appropriate leadership skills.
• To recognise the needs of children in the health care environment
• To gain an understanding of the effects of stress and trauma on children and
adolescents’ behaviour and development.
• To understand the roles of child care professionals and to educate others on the
role of Child life.
• To gain knowledge of how to assess, plan, organise, implement and evaluate
Child life interventions.
 PLANNED ACTIVITIES
These were the activities that we planned on implementing in the homes.
• Moral and social awareness
• Basic Mathematics
• Motivational Speech
• Dance, Yoga
• General Science
• General knowledge (Quiz)
• Games and sports activities
• Painting, drawing
• Spoken English, Extempore Speech
 ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN
We proceeded according to our scheduled plans and were quite successful in
holding and undertaking many activities. Due to the shortage of time and the half
yearly exams going simultaneously, we had to cut down some activities, still we all
had a great time. The things we successfully conducted were:
• Teaching Mathematics: The maths exam was nearby and the children were
tensed, so we conducted a class trying to cover some specific chapters, in which
they are lacking behind. After that, a small test was taken, in which most of the
students did well. It was fruitful.
• Teaching Science: Understanding and learning science is often found to be
uninteresting by these children. So we conducted classes and surprisingly, they
took them very well.
 ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN
• Spoken English: It has been seen that many children are afraid to speak English
boldly and hence get deprived of the fluency and self confidence. We showed
them videos on different lessons of grammar and greetings. They loved it.
• Dance: A 2-hour dance class was conducted. And surprisingly, they did very well
and there were some exceptional good dancers among them.
• Motivational speech: We gathered the children and gave speeches about life
lessons, motivations, discipline, cleanliness and importance of education.
• Sports: We played basketball with them and there are quite good players among
them.
• Moral and Social Awareness: Presentation was given on Child labour and the
dangerous consequences on a child due to this social curse.
 MAJOR LEARNING OF THE INTERNS
As an intern, it was our first time in an orphanage and the past few days were filled
with many experiences. Some of them are
• We got a first hand teaching experience. Teaching them various subjects, it
boosted our vocabulary and self confidence.
• The working of CWC and child line and how they operate in picking up a child to
getting it registered. We learned various and detailed aspects of it.
• We planned various activities and acted accordingly. Teamwork and leadership
skills were enhanced during the process.
• Through interaction with the kids, our communication and vocabulary skills were
boosted and we had a great experience with them.
• A child may have undergone some trauma or abuse during their upbringing, and
thus interacting them with kindness and gentle attitude is the right way.
