Growing up within the diverse culture, religion, ethnicity, and economics, we have always felt a sense of harmony among the members of our community. Maintaining peace and cooperation has benefited greatly from the equitable inclusion of individuals. This motivated us Interactors to build something original to investigate the variety, providing us with an idea for “Project एकता : A Sense of Belonging” where we spend three days with three different components of our community.
Project: “Project एकता : A Sense of Belonging”
Theme: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Brief Details:
Day 1: Old Age Home Visit
Date: 21st November, 2022
Location: देवघा ट समा ज कल्या ण केन्द्र वृद्धि आश्रम
Hosted.
Individual Project.
Avenue: Community Service.
Project Summary:
On the first day, we headed to Devghat, the religious hub of our district which is also the home to elderly people who are staying away from their families. Those experienced souls had unforgettable stories of their own which made an imprint on our hearts. We donated supplies for their daily needs and more than that their happiness while having us there felt special.
Day 2 Blind Stationary Material Distribution

Location: Narayani Mabi Secondary School

Individual Project.
Area of focus: Basic Education and Literacy
Project Summary:
On the second day we visited a nearby accessible hostel where we gave study resources to visually impaired kids. We had a wonderful time with them. To our surprise they amazed us with their melodious voice and speedy writing and reading technique. They undeniably proved that they were specially abled.
Day 3 cultural Dress Distribution
Date: 23rd November, 2022
Location: Tharu Cultural House, Sauraha
Hosted.
Individual Project.
Area of focus: Community and Economic Development
Project Summary:
Our third destination was 17 kilometers away from our school, the inhabitants of Tharu natives where we conducted a survey with the locals to learn more about their way of life and culture. Ultimately, we decided to take a step forward in supporting them by donating their cultural dress. They will be using their cultural attire for dance performance to show their culture. This will ultimately act as a means for their income generation.
