Ideas

Manish/Preeti Shah

  1. network for kids outside there school
    2. this will provide a platform to share what each school is doing. All of them can know/learn from the initiatives that may be available in other schools but not theirs.
  2. opportunity for kids to share any experiences that others can benefit
    3. in the process they develop their leadership qualities
  3. support network for kids
    4. share any issues (academic or otherwise) - here we may have provide them a forum with some senior students but without parents (concept from Hindu Heritage Camp in Rochester NY)
  4. public speaking opportunities
    5. directly or indirectly through other objectives - I was thinking if we can get toastmasters club (Wiki) or start something similar with somebody experienced in this area
  5. get outside experts to talk about topics of interest
    6. (this is something Montclair university used to arrange for parents during their spring classes for kids)
  6. community service
  7. this could be another objective for the kids.

Shamee Patil/Anju Bhatia

  1. Getting to know yourself to make changes in careers
  2. Balancing professional and personal life in a life sciences career

Bhavesh/Roma Modi

We should do one big activity. An example, is collecting material (clothes, food) for poor people and distribute it to them. We can take inspiration from Prabhat and do something similar.
