Originally
himself, not a carbon copy of someone else, this man is honest,
dedicated, friendly, sober, teacher, brother and a definitely a person
who is making a difference to the society by committing two years of his
life to Teach for India Fellowship at a small low income under resourced Municipal Corporation school in Pune.
Teaching
small kids is a difficult task and when one has to make the entire
curriculum along with the daily schedule everyday, organising field
trips to visit communities from where kids come, taking up school
transformation projects to community initiatives to bring sustainable
change for the coming years. Yes, it’s a job of mammoth proportion that
helps shaping the foundation of the young children, he is imparting
knowledge to.
Recently
he has been to Pakistan for a Peace Congregation of Youth representing
India with few other fellow Indians as an Indian Youth Delegate for
South Asian Youth Conference on Peace, Education and Sustainable
Development. That is a privilege only a few get, and I envy him for that
as well as one more thing.
Sir
Robert Swan’s 2041, this is an INSPIRE International Antarctica
Expedition for which Anurag Maloo has been chosen. His participation to
this particular exploration will equip him with the first hand
experience and information about the adverse effect of the greed of
human beings on the ice caps of Antarctica. It is important for him to
attend it because he can share that experience with his pupils and
someday these students will take a cue from him to make the world a
better place.
The
major purpose of the expedition is to inspire the next generation of
leaders to take responsibility, be sustainable, and know that now is the
time for action in policy development and sustainable business
generation, through the promotion of recycling, renewable energy and
sustainability.
