Theme: Introduction to new batch
People Involved:
Ojasvi Khanna
Vyusti Bhattacharya
As we move from one batch to another, we were filled with a mix of emotions: excited to meet the new girls and sad to depart from the old ones but overcoming them, we began with our first session of the girls’s new session. We had enthusiastic just entered 8th grade girls who had heard a lot about our project from their seniors so they had high expectations. We started off with the introduction to the project and then to ourselves. We asked them to sit in a circle and then stand and introduce themselves by shouting as loud as possible. They were supposed to say their names and something that they liked that started with the alphabet of their name, for example: Alpana- Apple. This was done because according to a study it increases confidence levels. We then played games of voice modulation and team building where they had to follow our actions. We also had singing sessions where we had individual and group performances and they girls displayed their talent beautifully. To make things more fun than what they were, we played Kho- Kho and Kabaddi. We then had a short game of ‘ Weave the story’ but this was with voice modulation so whatever you add, you narrate it out with emotions by changing voice tone. This session was purely magical but we all turned very nostalgic when we met our earlier girls( our first batch of this project) as we had all our ‘firsts’ with them but the enthusiasm and will power in this set of girls is inspiring and empowering and we cant wait to share a strong bond with them as well and live up to their expectations.

The problem is huge and our steps are small. But with support, diligence and belief, they will make a difference.

This is Prerna. She aspires to be a singer someday and has a beautiful voice. With no one there to recognise her talent or to enhance it, the Singing Volunteers of Project iEmPower have taken it upon themselves to help her in every way possible. They will be training her classically and adding some contemporary notes to her training programme!! This video is the second training session with her on various songs including the theme song of the movie aashiqui.
