Who we are
All the donated books will go to Teach For India classrooms. All the students come from low income communities and access to good books is one of their main concerns. I want to make sure that every child who wants to read, has access to a book. Reading books improves their language skills and gives them exposure to a lot of amazing things that happen around them.
Our work and its impact
My name is Apoorv. I used to teach an amazing bunch of students in a low income school in Mumbai as a part of my Teach For India fellowship. I have now joined staff as a Program Manager in Teach for India, Ahmedabad. My fellowship experience has made me realise that educating young minds is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.
How we will utilise these books
My work as Program Manager is to train/coach teachers on how to teach in a low income community. I help in making sure that every child gets an excellent education irrespective of their economic and social background. Students from low income communities who get access to an excellent education from an early age have already shown that they can match their economically superior counterparts if now do better than them in most fields. Our vision is 'One day all children will attain an excellent education'. The Library-in-a-Classroom book sets will go to two schools in Ahmedabad where there are a lot of students and an empty room which can be converted into a library. We already have one principal's permission on starting a library in his school. All the other individual books will go to different classrooms in other Teach For India schools in Ahmedabad. Marathi books will be sent to Teach For India schools in Mumbai.
