There is plenty to appreciate and be joyful about the year’s eleventh month.
November, the finest month of the year, arrives just after Halloween and before Christmas. November strikes the ideal balance between the two seasons. You can don your comfortable sweaters, fix your topknot, and indulge in anything pumpkin-flavored.
Well, November has been amazing for us at EnthuZiastic.
Here’s why.
Thanksgiving at EnthuZiastic
Thanksgiving is the time to express your gratitude and count your blessings. We are forever grateful for your association and for choosing us as your learning partner.
Everyone has their own way of saying Thanks. We expressed ours with some amazing events, organized without any cost.
Cooking Workshop
EnthuZiastic celebrated Thanksgiving by organizing an exciting Thanksgiving Cooking Workshop on the 23rd of November. Adding a staple pumpkin makes the dish an easy-to-prepare and easy-to-pair-with Thanksgiving side dish.
Our young EnthuZiastic Chef Armaan proved to be a great host who showed our junior participants and us how to prepare a delicious Pumpkin Hummus.
Besides the recipe, Chef Armaan also led us to some interesting facts. I learned that this bright pumpkin hummus, as the recipe’s name implies, was inspired by a dish in Lebanon. But the Egyptians and Palestinians claimed this invention for themselves as their national cuisine.
The event was a success, with our young participants having a gala time and trying their hands at cooking for the first time. I hope this event generated a love for cooking amongst our young chefs.
Art and Craft Workshop
EnthuZiastic’s Thanksgiving Art and Craft Workshop was full of lively entertainment and excitement. We had colors! We had fun! We had giggles!
With a great zeal, our young participants went on to make their best creations.
Be it a choo-choo train, a cabin, or a beautiful garden, our participants managed to draw such beautiful sketches. I am sure that they are to be framed for the entire world to see and wonder with awe!

Christmas Eve Customs to Make it More Memorable for Kids
Christmas customs make Christmas Eve a memorable night, from hanging stockings and unwrapping a holiday present to leaving cookies for Santa. The night before Christmas, each family has its unique traditions.
Here are a few you must introduce to your kids. They will love it.
Open One Gift
Why wait till Christmas to open gifts? Instead, unwrap only one gift on Christmas Eve to have a sneak peek. You can select a special present or choose one from the ones beneath the tree.
Hygge
Many families gift new pajamas on Christmas Eve, but you can heighten the cozy atmosphere of the season by introducing Hygge into your celebration. This Danish way of life, called “hue-guh,” is characterized by a warm environment, spending time with loved ones, and relishing the comfort of an inside winter night.
Fantastic on Christmas Eve! Put on your Christmas pajamas, then cuddle up with hot cocoa and some candles while lounging beneath blankets.
Make Food for Reindeer
Santa’s reindeer sure need food for their long journey. Wear chef’s hat and take whatever you have in your pantry and cook up something.
Make a Care Package
Get together to assemble care package for people in need. It is one of the best way to teach empathy and thoughtfulness to kids.
Special Things to do on New Years’ Eve
I hope 2022 was an excellent year for you. We’re also relieved that the year is done so that you can move on to better things in 2023. Whether 2022 was terrific, terrible, or a combination of both, you should take time to appreciate the victories as you bid the year farewell. Whatever happened, you made it out alive!
On New Year’s Eve, there are some obvious things to do, like attending a party, watching the ball drop on television, or having a pleasant supper with friends and family.
I sincerely hope you don’t treat this as just another typical day. How, then, should you greet 2023? To help you start the new year off on the right foot, we’ve put together a special list:
Neighborhood Suitcase Travelling
On New Year’s Eve, it’s customary in several Latin American communities to round the block carrying an empty bag to bring about travel and excitement in the next year!
Learn Something New
You can still pick up a lot in the final few days of the year with a bit of creativity. Attend a photoshop or digital art lesson to help you create beautiful pictures for the upcoming year.
Heroes That Make Us Proud
The then-prime minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, acknowledged the work with great enthusiasm. Around 70 lakh people with hearing and speech impairments in the country could sing the national anthem for the first time due to this initiative.
The Indore-based Anand Service Society (ASS) is working to integrate deaf and speech-impaired youth into mainstream society via services including education, vocational counseling, and job placement.
In 2000, Gyanendra Purohit and his wife Monica established the organization in memory of Gyanendra’s brother, Anand, a deaf and speech-impaired man who tragically perished in a railway accident. They never wanted somebody like him to go through life unable to use their sense of hearing or express themselves verbally.
Achievements
- They constituted the Tukoganj police station in Indore to operate a hotline for the deaf and speech challenged. It was also because of the couple that the first police station in India where the deaf and the speech handicapped can file complaints was established in Tukoganj.
- ASS has helped more than 10,000 people with various impairments get justice.
- In 2016, the society’s founding couple and organization earned the Rashtriya Swayam Siddh Samman award from the Jindal Steel Foundation for their efforts to find, honor, and promote leaders at the community level.
- Most recently, Monica Purohit was recognized as one of India’s top 100 most accomplished women.
- Recently, the husband and wife were recognized in Amitabh Bachchan’s program Kaun Banega Crorepati during a special section called Karamveer 2020.
I want to end this section with an anecdote that will never cease to inspire me.
Despite the ASS founders’ guidance, the education department rejected four people who were deaf or hard of hearing for teaching positions in 2005. Because of this, Gyanendra Purohit decided to pursue a career as a lawyer. He appealed this decision to the Supreme Court and was successful there.
The hiring practices of schools have changed to set aside a certain number of teaching positions for students with special requirements. Around 25,000 youngsters with special needs are now enrolled in mainstream MP classrooms.
We salute their resilience and effort!

Plastic-Free and Litter-Free Chewing Gums
For EnthuZiastic’s November issue, we have brought you the story of Mayank and his brother, Bhuvan. These young chaps single-handedly prevented around 120 kg of plastic waste from adding to nature. How do they fulfill such a huge feat? Let’s find out.
During his college days, Mayank, a food science student, learned that chewing gums contain plastic. They are also the most littered thing and take more than 25 years to degrade.
Also, he carried out a survey where he talked to his family members and acquaintances to know whether they knew what chewing gums are made of. The results shocked him as most of them weren’t aware that they were consuming plastic unaware. Mayank and Bhuvan soon went on a journey to produce a plastic-free gum that would benefit everyone.
They read several research papers, talked to experts, and came up with the solution- tree sap. They also prefer to pack their environment-friendly chewing gums in paper or tin packages. And that’s how we get Gud Gum.
