A Peep Into Commerce

Jithu Koshy is a Chartered Accountant in Qatar.

His passion is Commerce, and he enjoys sharing his profession,
career and experience with people. He came across Isha Vidhya
project at Global Giving recently, and wanted to visit one of our
schools, and talk to the children. We offered that he could in fact
conduct a session to the children about his profession, which he
gladly accepted.

During his trip to India recently, Jithu visited our Coimbatore
school to talk to the children and conduct his session. Most of the
students, especially those from the rural areas are not aware of the
opportunities in the commerce field, but they have choose their
education stream for the higher education, so Jithu presented to the
9^th, 10^th and commerce stream of 11^th grade students.  Jithu
introduced the students to the world of commerce, which included
options and requirements, and in the next session, he answered
questions from the students.

Jithu shares: “It was indeed a great privilege coming to the
Isha Vidhya school. The positive vibes I take away from the school
will stay with me for a long time. The kids simply amazed me with
their clarity of thoughts, vision and proficiency over English language.
The teachers, who I understand are B.Eds look completely a class
apart and their humility and care was astounding. I was really
impressed to hear about the central academy for teachers, training
them to be how they are. That is a model lots of schools can look
at adopting. I was also thoroughly impressed by the class room walls
with different pictures, statements and a completely different way of
looking at the world. The maths lab with so many facilities, the yoga
classes etc were all new for me. Keep up your great work and I can
only whole heartedly thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet
so many blessed souls. It has truly made my day.”

Interestingly, many students shared that they did not know about
career as a chartered accountant and few confided that they were
going to take it up as a career!  Students also admired his presentation
skill and wanted to become as eloquent as he was. We are very grateful
to Jithu for sparing time with our students!
