What he had to say:“I had absolute fun andtremendously enjoyed myselfjudging the comics. Nicelydrawn frame by frame, theydepict real problems of oursociety. It clearly showcasesgood thinking in young minds.

UdayshankarGanguly, Jury

It all began with a SMALL voiceOnce upon a time, a young child filled the form forYouthPower. “But you are too young. Youth Power is forsenior students,” he was told. “But I want to dogood things too,” he replied with a heart-warm-ing sincerity. Can there be an age to do ‘goodthings’? The grown-ups had enough food forthought.

Soon, a SMALL step was takenA huge tree rests within than tiny sapling. And huge ini-tiatives stem only from small sparks. The small seed wassown. And soon, Youth Power Junior was born under theguidance of Dr (Mrs)Amita Chauhan, Chairperson,AmityGroup of Schools. The Global Times team nurtured thistiny sapling till it sprawled into a huge tree to providefruits of ‘humanity’ under the shade of ‘young leaders’.

A SMALL bud blossomedOver 100 teams sprung up as tiny, dew fresh leaves on theeight branches of Amity. They sat through the shears ofinterview, vying to bear the fruit of ‘humanity’. After allthe pruning, a bud blossomed on each branch of Amity,the bud we fondly called the ‘YP Junior team’. Hand-picked, after showing dedication for the cause, sincerityand compassion, these buds bloomed into strong finalistteams. Each team with five members acted just like a fivepetal flower, ready to take up a ‘social cause’ and spreadthe fragrance of love, compassion and goodness.

SMALL is beautifulWhen small steps tread in the direction of ‘change’, youknow you are in for something big. The finalistteams, with one week at hand, began theirjourney of conducting one ‘social im-pact’ activity. They had to makea change, no matter howsmall, within the set time-frame of one week.While some headed for-ward by saving waterwasted in the school,others set up toy li-braries for the or-phans.

Devouring the SMALL dosesTo showcase the humane garden they had created

through their social grafting, the teams were re-quired to make a PowerPoint Presentation,video and comic showcasing the work theyhad done.PS Sample the beauty of their beautiful

albeit small acts through the comics in thefollowing pages (P 3-10).

These were then sent to an eminent jury panel forjudging, who lauded the ‘greatness’ that came in these

small packets. See what they had to say (below).

A SMALL star shinesThe seed no matter how small, eventually metamorphosesinto a big tree, too conspicuous for others to ignore. Thesame happened with the efforts of our YP Junior teams,who were lauded in the form of awards and accolades.

A small step is all it takes to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has. YouthPower Junior unleashed the power of ‘small’ as little ones took on the ‘big’ role of changemakers. Withthe small changes that it ushered, the social leadership programme left behind a lingering desire to take thefirst step and create the world we want to see. A look at how the small seed grew into a mighty tree

BIG DIFFERENCEOne small step. A big leap forhumanity. What started as a smallstep, resulted in a big change. Andsoon this big change, will result in a

bigger impact, substantial enough for allof us to see. As they say, it all

starts with that one SMALL step.

This year, the Nobel Peace Prizewas bestowed upon two people -one an adult and the other, ayoung girl. Enough evidence forus adults to understand the powerof ‘small’. It was this belief inour youngest ones that led to thelaunch of Youth Power Junior.The success of Youth Power had already brought tofore the potential of young children in usheringchange. With YP Junior, we went one step further,picking our youngest ones and the results are therefor all of us to see. Remember, change is not aboutdoing big things, it is all about doing small littlethings, every day, every week, every month; making

something a little bit better.

Look at thesechildren. Theyare wastingwater bythrowing itaway, simplybecause it hasturned warm

Water is being wasted here toobecause of these leaking taps.

We need to dosomething. We need to

save water.

Childrenstartedthrowingwater into

the buckets,thereby

reducing waterwastage.

A poster was pastedon the water coolerasking children tothrow unwanted

water in the bucket,instead of throwing

it in the sink.

I think we canstill save more water.Primary school kids

tend to waste a lot ofwater when they wash

hands as theyfind it difficult

to do so.

Yes, but whatcause should we

take up?

I think weshould worktowardssavingwater.

A simple easy-to-makehand sanitizer could be a great way

to prevent this wastage.The sanitizer was made usingingredients available at home.

The teamalso
