This blog sheds light upon our Mega Project and all its details. The ever-increasing learning crisis for underprivileged students is one of the greatest challenges in our country. Therefore, we have decided to dedicate all our efforts and work on this issue for our mega project.

We are a team of three members, Saddam Rafiq, Kashmala Nizam, and Samreen Ameen. The strategy for selecting a proper topic for this mega project was that we merged all the ideas of our team members and made it into a single topic. Our idea is to give proper guidance and quality assistance to underprivileged students.

Problem Statement

The said problem is mainly related to those students who belong to the underprivileged society. Most of these students do not have the opportunity to get tuition, and especially in this current situation of COVID 19, many students need help with their money education.

Our Vision and Mission

Our vision is to provide quality assistance and guidance to the students of the government-oriented schools; these services will not only help them in academics, but also be beneficial for their daily life, and help them in setting their goals for the future. Our mission is to give proper guidance, quality assistance, career counseling, extracurricular activities, and more to the students by conducting physical classes. We hope that this will give them a fair chance in competing with others, understand themselves better, make a good income, and develop their careers as they desire.

The Challenges

In current times, when the novel Coronavirus has caused massive economic and financial loss, choosing school timings that suit each of our schedules and choosing a school itself with students were tough challenges.

Since most educational institutions are closed due to the Corona risk that prevails, we had very limited options. Even if we found a school that agreed, looking for students who were genuinely interested and motivated to attend our sessions was another significant obstacle.

Another hassle was to align our schedules and work around them to fully dedicate ourselves to this great cause of mental awareness. Moreover, we struggled to develop good strategies that would effectively get our message across to our audience in a limited number of sessions.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to first find a proper place for our megaproject implementation. Next, we plan to look for genuinely deserving underprivileged students and convince them to join our session. Moreover, we want to come up with engaging material aimed towards guiding and counseling the maximum number of students within a few sessions.

We took the initiative some weeks ago and went to the TCF School. We talked to the school’s management about our megaproject and managed to impress them with our ideas. They agreed and told us they will inform us soon after the winter vacation was over and when classes resumed.

Miss. Almas, the Academic Coordinator at TCF, appreciated us and ensured to support us by talking to the higher management about our project. She also agreed to provide us with a classroom for our classes after the school timings.

Action Plan

Firstly, we have to divide tasks fairly between all the team members and make a list for the next two weeks’ plans.

Next, we plan to get in contact with the alif-Laila organization and discuss our ideas. We plan to craft engaging and interesting lectures that will spread awareness for 7th-grade students and higher regarding counseling, assisting, and mental health issues.

Now that the lockdown is over, we hope to take two sessions per week.

The Activities

We plan to include several activities to make this as enjoyable as possible. Some of the activities are the following:

● Interactive questions

● Helping students solve their homework

● Helping students understand and appropriately deal with problems causing them severe stress

● Career counseling

● The motivation for completing general tasks and goals

● Helping each of them understand others better

Conclusion

My team and I are waiting for the educational institutions to open and gain permission from the school management to begin working on our plans. We are all highly motivated and hope to put our plans into practice soon.
