My Good School presents Joy Of Reading. The community reading program helps inspire you by reading and reflecting, sharing examples of where children and adults in real life are using values and is very useful to stimulate discussion and philosophical debate.

On Sunday mornings at 11.00 AM, you can join us for live reading sessions. Best you attend with a copy of the book and experience the Joy of Reading. Post the session; the readers may want to reflect and share real-life experiences.

The Life of 10 Rupees - Rishona Chopra

Good Afternoon! I am...well, I don't reveal my name so just call me 10 Rupees. I am unique because I am hated and loved at the same time. But how, you ask?

10 Rupees. What all could you buy with it - Just 2-3 toffees, right? What is the value, and that's what some think? They do not respect me and therefore hate me. But for some, those 2-3 toffees are worth having, seem a box of gold! That is their meal for the day, which brings a smile to their faces!

See the different sides of just me, what do you think? Do you value me or leave that do you appreciate what you get? If you could get a huge, delicious meal in just 10 rupees, wouldn't you care more? But do think that if you had nothing and just a few toffees, I bet you would gobble up all the toffees or save some for the other day.

Shall I tell you something? Don't think I am boasting! I have much more value in this world. Take 10 Rupees to buy some wool and sticks and start knitting! Maybe you can sell your work for more money, and probably you could run a business.10 Rupees would have basically changed your life!

I am not just telling you about myself but telling you to respect things and what you get. Items might have more value than they seem they have.

Happiness - Unnati Jamdar

When I was a young kid, I always wanted a pet. I wanted a cat or a dog, but sadly my parents won't allow me. One fine day a cat suddenly appeared and started meowing. I was in shock; the poor cat was sitting alone and was searching for food. I couldn't resist, so my friends and I decided to comfort her. From that day onwards, she was our best friend, and within a couple of days, my family was ready to adopt the cat. This was where my happiness increased, and now she is a part of our family.
