Who we are
Programmes for Assisted Learning (PAL) focuses on language and literacy learning. PAL attempts to ensure that every session with the child includes activities that will allow: Open-ended spoken language experiences, Opportunities to become analytic about the structures within a language, Practice with stories and other narratives, and Encouragement to express one’s own thoughts in a written output.
Our work and its impact
The Promise Foundation is a charitable trust established in 1987 to apply the behavioral sciences to promote the educational, social and economic development of the individual. The Promise Foundation comprises a core group of psychologists, social workers, special educators and teachers, and an international network of specialist consultants who provide services in the areas of mental health, education and potential realization. The behavioral and cognitive sciences, anthropology and history describe fascinating avenues for human development in a multitude of areas. Yet, these opportunities and resources are not easily available to the largest sections of our populations, the poor. Broadly, we see our multiple programmes as focused on wellbeing and the two key issues of literacy and livelihood.
How we will utilise these books
PAL attempts to ensure that every session with the child includes activities that will allow: open-ended spoken language experiences, opportunities to become analytic about the structures within a language, practice with stories and other narratives and encouragement to express one’s own thoughts in a written output. The PAL methodology has been used with children in early grades in government schools (public-funded schools), non-formal centers for out-of-school children, after-school programmes, remedial classes, summer camps and vacation programmes. We see language and literacy teaching as drawing upon the cultural traditions that children and their teachers come from. Programmes for literacy learning must be sensitive to the child’s context. The funds will be utilized to set up a library making high-quality books accessible to children
