The MRA Camp

Change is the name of sustenance and progress. The MRA (Moral Re-Armament) camp that I attended along-with my 78 young friends turned out to be a ‘Road to Discovery’. We were nestled in beautiful cool natural surroundings. IofC (Initiatives of Change) volunteers got into act the moment we announced our arrival with noisy and fuming buses. First suggestion was to bus driver to kill the engine; in that tranquility the engine groan was completely out of place.

I could write essays on four day experience, however here I want to talk about my 78 friends, the SCIT juniors whom I accompanied. The business guys who will be our managers and leaders of tomorrow exhibited an overwhelming enthusiasm in all sorts of activities. Those included not only the most popular dances and bollywood songs but also finer humane angle. They were touched by the ‘Relationship’ sessions and the Morrie’s movie. The family group meetings showed understanding and emotional side of this wonderful generation.

If all this was not enough they also had high level intelligent interaction in the leadership arena. Topping it all were the cultural programmes, the service & wash-up activities  and the multi-faith prayer. These four days really underlined the versatility, the caring emotional and sensitive side of our future leaders. I was glad to be with the energetic and aspiring leaders of India

    Hello Sir,
    Agreeing with you and RR,the experience was surely amazing and more than expected. To add it was like unknown forces acting on our inner voice, compelling us to think beyond we ever had, recognize our strengths, weaknesses and above all The Purpose of life. We now are looking forward to more of such activities.

    Hello Sir,

    The experience was simply out of this world.
    Kindly arrange for one more such experience before we all pass out
