The much awaited SIFE SRCC Certificate Distribution Ceremony took place on Saturday, 22nd September 2012 and saw the confluence of our entire SIFE team, our alumni and faculty advisor.
Apart from being a truly inspired by the work done by our seniors, it was also a complete joy ride for us first years , as we were shown the presentation that was projected at the SIFE National Competition illustrating our wide spectrum of community driven projects like Aahaar , Azmat , Kayakalp and Life On Wheels.
The event began with a description of our four current projects , their recent updates, timeline of progress and their impending course of action and reach by our seniors. In all the words they spoke, we could feel utter dedication and spirit for SIFE oozing out. The change in their expressions from happy to sympathetic to agonized was in perfect synergy with the the presentation which was put on the screen. They spoke as if the communities we work with can aspire to dream because of our selfless efforts. They spoke with pride about our success at all our projects and with an eye for future prospects. They spoke like people who have a heart for the world and mind for business!
Everybody in the Seminar Room watched the awe-inspiring presentation, appreciating the reason for the existence of SIFE and being utterly grateful for getting a place on this wave of change. It felt great to be listening and applauding generously for the change makers who dared to give a new direction to the existing socially exploitative scenario of our communities.
These change makers are our alumni , seniors and faculty advisors - people we as SIFE first years look up to and see the living proof of the phrase "Anybody can give money, not anybody can give love, and only few can give time"
It was their day! And yes they were being awarded certificates ! But, as rightly stated by one of the alumni, "This certificate is the LEAST that SIFE can give you"
Overall, WHAT A DAY !! Instilled in us so much more for the team and its aims. Filled our blood with so much commitment for our communities. Inspired us to be SIFE-ers not by name and stamp, but by dedication and spirit. Sowed in our hearts, the seeds of selfless effort because we, first years knew that next time it'll be US who will be in their shoes and will be getting clicked! But to be able to do that, we will have to take the way they took. Will have to work more than they did ...
!!THAT WE WILL !!
!! CHEERS !!
