IAYP TRIP- International Award for Young People
On the morning of October 6 2019, the buses left for the IAYP excursion to Uttarkashi. The bus journey was quite long and tiresome, but the students were energetic
enough to play some fun games. The most interesting part of the trip was the stay in tents, which, in this era of comfort and leisure, was indeed a unique experience.
The following days were filled with energy and adventure, as the students participated in various activities like trekking, rock climbing, flying fox and many more. They even
visited the NIM (Nehru Institute of Mountaineering) which was indeed a great exposure for them. In the evening of the third day of the trip, the students had the
opportunity to perform a real life adventure. They were divided into groups of six, and were given utensils and few packets of maggi. They collected water from the river
and dry leaves from the jungle. They set up everything and cooked maggi on their own. The group whose maggi tasted the best was rewarded.
After the tiring days, the students were engaged in some recreational activities and games each night, under the instruction of the tour guides.
The four days of the trip exhilarated everyone, and they were filled with enthusiasm. With a happy face and thrilling experience, the students returned to their school on
October 9, 2019.
Through IAYP, students are exposed to various activities in which they have to use life skills. On the basis of their performances, the students are awarded bronze, silver and
gold medals.
