Who we are
We are a team of 250 students and 2 Teach For India fellows from Saraswati Vidyalay EMS, a low-income PMC school in Pune. We love reading and dream of setting up a library in school thus exposing ourselves to the beauty of reading. We envision ourselves to be voracious readers and want to enhance our comprehension skill and develop our questioning and reasoning skills through reading. Hence, we need more books to quench our thirst for reading. Please help us to Just Keep Reading.
Our work and its impact
We are TFI Fellows placed in a PMC school in Pune. I am Ashwini. I have completed my post-graduation in Bioinformatics and Biotechnology. I love working with kids, listening to their stories. Rajat is another fellow in our school who is a Mechanical Engineer by profession. He too is passionate about kids and teaching. Despite our diverse backgrounds and experiences, we are united in our vision to transform, in our own small way, the alarming reality of India's educational crisis. Teach For India is an organization that recruits motivated individuals from all walks of life and places them in low income government or private schools, where reading and writing levels of students are way below their actual grade levels. TFI fellowship provides fellows with an opportunity to be a guide and a friend to the children in school and community and also to learn from them in many ways.
How we will utilise these books
We work with kids in low income government school in Pune. We envision our kids to become future leaders who are capable of making well informed decisions for self and for others around them and to work towards making our society a better place to live in Being teachers in school, we try to integrate our lesson plans with values and exposure of different things along with the academics for the students. We believe that the problem of educational inequity can be solved only by the means of education. At school, we focus on a holistic development of our students by encouraging them to learn everyday via different activities. We also visit the community they live in and work in parallel to ensure that our teachings from school permeate into their community. Our school faces an acute shortage of funds and space for an exclusive library room. We aim to set up a library in school and create a safe space for kids where they can enjoy reading books and stories in English, Hindi and Marathi. Every penny of your donation will be utilized to buy/get books for this library. By setting up the school library, we want to evoke a thirst of reading good books in students, which will help them to build their logical, reasoning, questioning skills along with improving their English fluency and comprehension skills.
