I am Arti Qanungo, a proud teacher from India 🇮🇳
During Pandemic, the students were stressed out and are not able to handle their emotions .They were depressed and lonely. I felt that there is a need for Social and Emotional well-being.
I had fun with my Students, played Antakshari and narrated stories with puppets. They enjoyed it and gradually we built a relationship of trust with each other. They shared their problems and challenges. Once they shared that they were not having sanitary napkins. I was really worried. I instantly went to the chemist shop and purchased a carton and distributed among my students. I could see the glittering eyes of my students.
Our relationship has been the closest during this time, "Physically Distanced but Emotionally Strengthened"
