Thanks to team #HimalayanVolunteerTourismFoundation (HVTF)
@MahimaGirMehra for this beautiful stop on this trip to Srinagar Drass Kargil Leh a journey worth each mile. The climb was hard but it was worth every step to reach a school made by the villagers to ensure their students get access to good education.
The session began with rapt attention from the senior students batch all answering questions and seeking answers.
We used the light comming from the window n our wow n wonder had no bounds exclaiming they could see bubbles, structures and more.
The exploration then began with the tool looking for the cells, searching for the image in sunlight vs the room light, the excitement had to be felt with even the teachers waiting for their turn to see the cells. They then wanted to note down their observations, draw what they say n show us their notes. wanting to observe more and more samples we were hard pressed for time as the cohort was large.
Our Collaborator and teacher at the school Ali Zulfi was only to happi to received the Foldscopes to help us reach a larger student base and build a community.
This is one of the few schools in the world that has a student council which strives to protect and help the students with their problems, they even have their own office so much to learn from these young leaders.
The team comprised Angad and Aarth members who helped us with the workshop. The kids thoroughly enjoyed using their hands as tools to get a thin peel they were excited that science could be done in their without a complex set up.
