Spreading Mozilla @ chennai Schools

It was in the month of Month of November , me and my other friend ( 2 Mozilla Student reps) got a chance to spread the Mozilla in government schools. It was fun teaching to the school students., though we expected a lot from them, they dint even have a much knowledge about the browser. We just explained what the browser is for and what are it functions., We also taught them about Web making , on which students had more interest and got response from the students. i would also like to carry out this precious contribution to the students in the following months :)
