UPDATES: WEEK 8 & 9

Hi

These two weeks have been really good for the children as they are now receiving regular dose of education and are very happy with the classes. The parents of the children have also started showing support and some of the parents even got stationary for their children.

A syllabus has also been set for the children which includes the following for the next 1-2 months:

English:
1. A-Z (Speaking, Writing, Recognition)
2. Small a-z (Writing and Understanding)
3. Simple words like Apple, Boy, Cat, Dog etc.

Maths:
1. Counting 1-20 in Hindi (Speaking, Writing, Recognition)
2. Counting 1-10 in English (Speaking, Writing, Recognition)
3. Counting one to ten in words (Writing, Recognition)

Hindi:
1. Hindi Alphabets (Speaking, Writing and Recognition)

Others Teachings:
1. Directions (Left, Right, Up and Down)
2. Weekdays (Mon-Sun)
3. How to wish people ? (Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night, Thank You and Sorry)

The teacher has been specially instructed to stick to this syllabus and the focus is not on making the children mug the syllabus but understand and relate to it.

The Attendance of the children has been good. Apart from a few absentees, around 25-28 children are coming regularly for the classes.

The process of getting 4 children admitted in school is in progress and we are hopeful of achieving this target.

Volunteer: Anchit, Arvind (Involved in Fund Raising)

Many potential volunteers are having their exams and might join up in the coming weeks.

Thanks
