The hospitality of Amity was like having a home away from home. The very first day they proceeded to the temple of Akshardham and visited the Lotus Temple. The serene and upbeat atmosphere there gave them a lot of energy. While exploring the Qutub Minar they were captivated by the history and exquisite architecture of the Humayun Tomb. India Gate and Mahatma Gandhi Museum, touched their hearts. Next day with garlands and lovely smiles, Amity School welcomed them in their school assembly and they began the day surrounded by affection. After the school tour, they now had a close bonding with Council Members.
Next day began with a bang with a restorative Yoga Class that taught them how to find joy in everyday lives. The students participated in three Creative Workshops: Calligraphy, Making Bookmarks and Lino Painting. Photography Workshop taught them to focus on capturing life's moments. Visit to the Museum and MUN Club were the highlight of the day. They delved into a heated argument on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and fervently raised awareness on Breast Cancer. Following that, a self-grooming course taught them how to present themselves in a stylish manner. The day was capped up with a touching visit to the Amitasha team, where the little champions made the RKKians feel very happy and showered them with handcrafted cards that they treasured the cards right away. Start of the next day taught them importance of Optimism and Yoga. It was a lot of fun learning a new dance called Gidda. The next project after lunch demonstrated the value of waste paper and how to repurpose it. Donning scientist’s glasses, students proceeded to the STEM session to get enriched about Operating Robots. The day was concluded with an engaging Theatre Workshop. Students had a great time acting and picking up some acting tips.
To round out the day, RKK’s team first went to a Gurdwara and then practiced their School Anthem, Ghoomar and Gidda, which they performed before saying goodbye to Amity School. The Chairperson, Amity Group of Schools, Mrs Amita Chauhan Ma'am's kind words inspired and motivated them to explore more and waste no time.
Finally, she team packed their memories-filled luggage and made their way to the Amity University. There, an amazing DJ session and an extremely thrilling funfair with so many rides was in store for them. Everyone rode a roller coaster of emotions before bidding farewell at the train station. Now the RKK’s team had too many memories and love-filled baggage from this trip—it could not have been better.
