PRABHAT PHERI
On the first day i.e., 16th Dec. 07, when we arrived at Sunpura village, all the villagers were surprised, even boys and girls were roaming around us for knowing the reason of our arrival to their village. Firstly, a Prayer was conducted in an open place. Then we started our rally, with Slogans and Banners. Our slogans were based on Education, Health & Hygiene, Women Empowerment and Effect of Overpopulation, e.g.,
 * सब पढे सब बढे ।


 * शिक्षा है अनमोल रतन, पढने का सब करो जतन ।


 * टी बी, कँसर मौत की सीढी, बंद करो ये सिग्रेट बीडी ।


 * शराब पीना छोड दो, जीवन का रुख मोड दो ।

our first day’s rally was based on Smoking. On second day, after the Morning Prayer, we continued with rally which was based on Health & Hygiene. Our third day of the trip started with the Prayer and Rally, which was based on Environmental Issues.

SHRAMDAAN
Then at 07:30 a.m. we reached in front of the School, there we were divided into different groups; each group was provided with different work as Shramdan. Cleaning of Road, Leveling of Ground, etc., were some of the work given to us as Shramdan. On second day our shramdan was in Madhavpura village, which is nearby the Sunpura village. Our shramdan included the cleanliness of the surrounding area of a community water supply hand-pump which was very dirty and unhygienic.

On third day, before shramdan we practiced an exercise of Kung-fu, for two hours then we continued our Interview and Case study in the village.

COMMUNITY GAME
After this Program, we all gathered for our Lunch. After the Lunch, we had a discussion on the existing condition of the village and its members. As it was our first day so we needed to establish a communication and good rapport with the villagers, to meet the objective of our survey. We had a communal game with the members of village for rapport establishment with the villagers. For this purpose we had a Cricket Match with the children and youngsters of the village. It was an interesting match, won by the boys of our team. In this process, we established a good rapport with the villagers, meanwhile we talked with the other members of the village i.e., the children and women of the village. All these were an initiative for our further communication with the villagers and to perform our survey, case study and interviews. On second day after completing our survey in the village, we gathered again for the Community Game. As we got familiar with the villagers so it was now easy to gather the children and the youths for the community game, as the children of the village were fond of playing cricket, so we again had a cricket match.
