Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection I belong from a place which is a one of the biggest deserts in the world . While I   am working at a different place now which is a normal terrain with no water scarcity . Since I have come   from a desert I know the importance of water but when a see the attitude of people towards water I   was quite surprised looking at the amount of water they waste . Since they have not felt water scarcity   ever . This is the thing they have taken for granted and never thought about its importance . They have   never been exposed to a condition of water scarcity which most of the world right now is facing . I felt   very disappointed by this and decided to pick this effective tool of storytelling to make people aware of   importance of water conservation . 

 Application I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing the issue of water conservation with   people who has never faced a situation like that I found it very difficult to make them visualize the   situation where we have very little amount of water and we must use it judiciously . Since they have   never been in this situation and never thought of it they were not able to relate to this until I used story   telling as a tool to convince them that there are people out there who actually have to travel miles to   fetch water for them and their family and we have to use water judiciously as fresh water is very limited   on our planet as a whole . 

 Insight & Approach Well , wow , it worked . When I shared them my actual story how we managed to   survive when there was no rain for 2 years consecutively in our area . The water in the dam , from which   they use to supple water to all the nearby places , dried and we have no other resource of water . At that   time , we used to use water like the most precious thing in this world not wasting a drop of it . Hence it   makes me feel very sad when I see people wasting tons of water here for no reason , I urged them to   deliberately see where they are wasting water and then then make a conscious effort to improve their   habits gradually as that will eventually help in water conservation . 

 Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When   I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist   me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .
