Volunteering at Parijat with the parijats (heavenly flowers)
Parijat Academy, by Dulan Boruah
May 18, 2012
Dear all, ` Heavenly flowers' as the name Parijat suggests, truly children are flowers Mother Nature has created in this Earth. Their smiles reflect the purity of human soul, happiness human have got. They play, run, they may fall and cry, but after a few moments they get up & forget that they were hurt. There are many things that adult may learn from these kids. After getting a confirmation call from Uttam Teron, the founder, the soul of Parijat Academy. I was very excited to come to Parijat Academy, as it would be the first experience as a Volunteer in a school. I started to plan my stay, confusion started hovering in my mind, “ Will I be able to...
Adventures in Assam

Namaskar! I know I said that I would update some stories over the break, but I got wrapped up in celebrating Bihu and adventuring around Assam. I apologize for the late update. It’s always difficult for me to sit down and actually gather all of my thoughts and express them into words…I’m a bit A.D.D, so I will try my best. Hah! Recently I have been receiving e-mails from potential volunteers and one of the most common questions I get is “What do you do when you are not teaching?” Today I will talk about some of the highlights of my holiday and what I’ve been up to the past few days.As I’ve mentioned before, it is now the time of year for the Rongali Bihu festival.

Hello folks,I’ve been staying at Parijat Academy for 10 days now and I can finally start sharing my stories. Right now we are having a holiday called “Bihu” and we will not have classes again until Monday. The next few days I will be partaking in some culture activities and I will have some extra time to update my experiences.First, I will say that this experience has been quite the challenge for me. I am currently the only volunteer here and sometimes it can be overwhelming for me because I have never volunteered solo before. However, this is a great learning opportunity and it has really pushed me to put more effort into connecting with people around me. Uttam and his family have been fantastic! They treat me like I...

Parijat Academy rendering yeoman’s serviceStaff reporter GUWAHATI, – Located on the outskirts of the capital city, a school with a difference has been rendering yeoman’s service to the community since its establishment and now it has taken another step towards making the poor tribal women self sufficient.Parijat Academy, the school extending free education to the children of poverty struck families in Pamohi has decided to extend and upgrade its existing weaving centre to generate income for the tribal women in the locality. It needs to be mentioned here that Pamohi dominated by a sizeable section of tribal people lacks adequate income generating avenues. Most of the tribal people earn their livelihood by working in the fields, as daily wage labour or as wood cutter.Founder of the school, Uttam Teron informed that...

Surya Pratap DekaWroteUttam Teron – a daredevil dreamer and symbol of HopeWhat can you do with just 800 rupees, a college degree and a great will to serve? Well, with exactly as much resource Uttam Teron decided to start a school with just four kids in a cow shed which today is a lovely institution of hope and joy to some of the most interior tribal villages in the Assam Meghalaya border. What’s more, he has even started a micro credit revolution in these forests for providing economic self reliance so that the children in the families are free to go to school.Such is the saga of a nondescript locality and a humble youth that faith in goodness and human endeavour is established once more. Everyone visiting this place cannot...

About Parijat Academy: a school for the underprivileged childrenPamohi, P.O. Garchuk, Guwahati-781035, Assam, Indiaemail: parijatacademy03@yahoo.com " The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others " or ordinary people, the pragmatic approach to life is to engage in such activities which are financially productive. But then again, there are some who believe that there is a bigger mission in life than to pursue insignificant material benefits for self. Such people make a mark in society so significant and revered; it makes us sit back and realize our lesser existence. Shri Uttam Teron, a 30-something young man hails from a village called Pamohi, some 20 kms from Guwahati, a small Karbi-dominated hamlet, where most people live a hand-to-mouth existence. Teron observed that most children either helped augment the...

My volunteering teaching at Parijat Academy There are only a few moments in life when we actually get the time for ourselves and even fewer moments when we get to do something for others. The thought of doing something for issues not directly related to one’s own self or loved ones is itself beautiful and rare. As such, given an opportunity to serve the needy or work selflessly towards the betterment of the society should play a vital role in everyone’s lives. Only then we can be truly a part of a human culture. Social work had always been on my mind. After doing a paper in Indian economic development in my second year of graduation, I got to know a lot about what is actually going on in...
