After Kahaani was over, we had 4 months until the end of the school year where we utilized this time to decide on the theme of Kahaani 2022. As this decision was a group decision, collaboration was an essential aspect in order to determine the theme. For Kahaani 2022, we decided to portray the significant events that occurred in Voice of World, from natural disasters and COVID-19 impacts to celebrations. In order to determine this theme, we had long discussions on how best to raise awareness about Voice of World and portray the life of children at Voice of World. Although people had different ideas, through effective communication and collaboration, we were able to respectfully discuss the advantages and disadvantages of ideas as well as incorporate a lot of people’s ideas into the theme. I believe that by acknowledging the proposals of other members, we were successfully able to achieve our goal of coming up with an impactful theme.

Additionally, during this time, we were coming up with ideas to further help Voice of World. We thought of potentially hosting a donation drive for clothes, shoes, and toys, however, while brainstorming this possibility, we were thinking of the ethical implications because technically, the children in Voice of World have the right to have access to new clothes, shoes, and toys, however, many people constantly dispose of their old clothes and toys that are in perfectly good condition, therefore, ethically, it would be better to donate these items to those that are not financially capable to support them and make them happy. Currently, this alternative is still under consideration in terms of logistics and feasibility. But through this experience, I have learned that before making big decisions that impact a third party, the ethical implications must be considered.
