A day in a paddy field

Helping the community in doing paddy weeding was a great fun. Teaching the youths about the importance of the farmers, like how hard they work for the people to not go hungry was what motivated me.
We started off from the school around 7 in the morning and started the work at 8 am. Youths were involved in working around the field and they too learned about the importance of hardworking.
Since the field itself is theirs. The whole community benefitted from this project. First thing , it could have taken them days to finish the work. And with the help of the youths, we could complete it in a day. Second thing, the youths learned about the hardworking of farmers to get a meal.
I too learned a lot from this project. The cooperation between the teachers and the youth it was simply amazing. We as well as the students were relaxed from the students from the daily monotonous environment.
