Know more about us
Who we are
One of the best ways to improve a child's ability to speak, write and communicate in English is through reading. The best way to capture a child's interest is through books that are relavent to a child's surroundings and experiences. Pratham books are culturally relavent and our children love the stories they have read so far. Our problem is that we do not have enough to go around, so please help us expand our library and get more children reading.
Our work and its impact
The Garhwal English Medium School was opened on December 1st 2009 in response to the very poor quality of education in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. GEMS began with just a few students, a couple of teachers and a cow shed, now we are a school of 170 students with 17 staff members and a whole school building.
How we will utilise these books
GEMS seeks to provide our children with quality education on par with any of the good schools in urban centers. We invite volunteers from around the world to help provide excellent education to our children. Our classes are small and our strategy is to provide activity based lessons so we reach all learning abilities of all our students. The funds from this campaign with provide our children with more books so the experience of reading can be enjoyed by more students. One library will be placed in our library room, and the others will be placed in four classrooms, hence teachers will be able to utilize the books as part of the classroom resources.
