Project Updates: Week 2

The week was very exciting as we not only increased our interaction with the children but also understood their lives, needs and way of living.

And frankly speaking a lot needs to be taught to the children in terms of health care, hygiene, discipline, cleanliness etc. The journey is not going to be easy but we are determined to create an impact and provide these children not only the right education but also teach them the values of life which are very essential for a living.

Volunteers for Week 2: Anchit and Abhishek

Activities:

1. A revision of the numbers exercise which was done in week1.
2. Started with teaching of english alphabets.
3. Drawing worksheets along with crayons were given to the children.
4. Had interaction with the labour Incharge and requested him to insure proper hygiene conditions near their homes.

This week we did not go ahead with the possibility of establishing a full-time set up as the place would be a long distance from their homes and it will not be possible for the children to come there. This activity is being currently postponed.

Our focus right now is to insure proper hygiene conditions around their home, teach the children how to keep themselves clean and healthy and also develop an interest in learning and getting educated which is lacking in few of them.

Planned Activities for Week 3:

1. Completion of english alphabets exercise.
2. Assignments/worksheets to be given for english alphabets.
3. Children to be taught about good health and hygiene conditions.
4. A review of the work done in the drawing worksheets given to the children.

Thanks
