Rewarding Experience with Kids

A couple of weeks ago, I helped out a friend of mine, Nizar. He had made a request if he could bring about a dozen kids to visit our station as part of various extra curricular social activities conducted by him. He had previously taken them on a factory visit to one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Kolkata. So I welcomed the idea and played host to the entourage.

The kid’s ages between 5 and 12 years were a lively, intelligent and inquisitive bunch. I first took them into the conference room and played teacher, teacher with them. It was the most fulfilling hour spent educating and getting educated myself as to the awareness level of children today. I took them through the intricacies of how a radio station works.

Thereafter I took them on a tour of the entire office and studios and letting them experience a show being hosted, being witness to one of our RJ’s being live on air.

At the end of the trip I gave them a send off with a customary goodie. Each of them armed with a 91.9 Friends FM cap. They intern gave me a Thank You card with their entire group’s signature’s on it.

In all it was a very enriching experience and a rewarding way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
