Survey for identifying kids who are not going to school:

Today in Bangalore alone, there are about 8000 kids who are either working in some mechanic shop or serving food to you at a hotel or washing dishes at home. Every year many more are sent here from villages in the dream of earning more money in cities. Many of these kids don’t even have an opportunity to know what Education can offer them and neither do their parents know the benefits of the Education. If nothing is done about this, these kids will lose their creativity and continue to live with unfulfilled dreams. The kids will then grow up blaming their circumstances for their condition.

At the same time, we have the privilege and opportunity to make a difference to these kids and their family. With speaking to them, supporting them and encouraging them to go to school. We believe it’s possible and coming Saturday, 20th March, 2010 we will continue with the survey of the kids who are not going to school in Shivajinagar and Jayanagar area. Please grab this opportunity to make a difference to these kids and send a mail to info@aashayeinfoundation.org or call

Sunil at 9902107107 for survey in Shivajinagar and

Abhishek at  9900116642 for survey in Jayanagar. The survey starts at 10AM at both the places.

Let’s get the kids to School and give them their dream!

Shikshana Abhiyana - Preparations for 2010 - 11:

Following are the activities planned over the next two months for the Shikshana Abhiyana Project.

 

Preparing syllabus and defining operations for the next academic year:

We have already started a mammoth task of preparing syllabus and defining structure for SA for the next academic year. A team of volunteers from all schools is collecting the necessary information required to frame a common syllabus for different learning levels for all the schools. This undertaking will ensure smoother operation of SA, with pre-set milestones and clearly defined responsibilities. Moreover, this task will put together a framework to facilitate more ease while setting up SA in new schools and will also provide the SA team in other places (Hyderabad, Mysore, etc.) a well defined working structure for reference.

 

Teaching at School in your area:

Coming academic year we plan to reach out to many more schools through SA. Our vision of SA project is to improve the quality of education of govt. and govt. aided schools. To handle the operations of SA in a school we would require anywhere between 10 to 20 volunteers including one School Head. A meeting will be planned in first week of April with the School heads of the new area. During the meeting we will discuss about building the team. Request you to please come forward and grab this opportunity to teach to kids in Govt. or Govt. aided school in your area.

 

If you would like to be part of any of the above two initiatives then write to info@aashayeinfoundation.org or call Sunil at 9902107107.
