Work Experiment of Novices

“Every morning, it bestows upon you a captivating allure, altering your disposition, alleviating stress, and fostering youthfulness and optimism." Throughout our fifteen-day endeavor in Mundgod, the essence of the aforementioned quote reverberated in our ears and echoed within our hearts. Despite our modest numbers, our collective impact was noteworthy. 

Every individual among us embraced their true selves and fulfilled their potential. "We radiated like luminescent artwork, though not akin to stars, our efforts emulated the resilience of pulleys, even if not comparable to a train." A multitude of tasks lay before us, fortifying us as we completed each one. We embarked on new experiences, gaining knowledge and mastering skills such as leveling the ground, tidying the hostels, harvesting coconuts and palm leaves, and categorizing objects made of metal, wood, and plastic. 

Beyond our assigned duties, we were privileged to explore into the world of Mundgod, plunging ourselves in their culture. Interacting with the Siddhi tribe and participating in their wedding anniversary bestowed upon us a sense of kinship, making us feel like cherished members of their extended family. 

This laborious endeavor served to refine our aspirations, teaching us the importance of resolute decision-making in times of crisis. We extend boundless gratitude to Fr. Nithin Machado and Sch Merwin Mathias, our guiding lights, and offer a special appreciation to Fr. Melvin, the Superior, and Fr. Jeevan Gomes for their seamless coordination of our work experiment.
