Project JAAGRITI Updates- June 2009

Apart from the already running elementary education classes, following are the updates-

1. Theater and Dance Classes- Regular theater and dance classes were held for 2-3 hours every day at 7 am in the morning. Abhishek taught the children a 15 min play cum dance, which was a step forward towards development of theater and dance skills in the children.

2. Theater and Dance Show- The RBS event was canceled but we did not wish to upset the children with this news. So we organised our own show on 14th June 2009, where children showcased the play and dance they had learned in the classes. We also had volunteer interaction and a prize distribution ceremony. Audience included volunteers, their friends, parents etc.

3. Health Checkup- Dr. Pooja, from Janakpuri (New Delhi), had conducted a detailed health check up of the children and came out with a number of observations such as protein deficiency in the children, worms, weakness etc. We have shared the details with the parents of the children as well as all the volunteers. Medicines have been provided by Dr. Pooja for the children and we look forward to improving the health of the Children in the next 3 months. We plan to start providing regular nutrition support to the children at the classes and would be having a second health check up after 3 months to analyse the progress and improvement made in the health of the children.

4. Computer Literacy- Project Jaagriti has received 2 old computers for setting up of computer classes. We have started formulating the study module which is to be taught to the Children and look forward to start the computer classes in the next 2 months.

Volunteers- Anchit, Abhishek, Kshitij, Vivek, Dr. Pooja, Debashish, Sukriti, Richa, Paulaumi, Ruchika, Siddharth, Pallavi.
