How we will utilise these books

The school's vision is to engender an ecosystem where children manage to learn from their surroundings and not just from their teachers. We have a vision to groom teachers from around the area who will not promote rote learning and parroting but will facilitate comprehension amongst children. We wish to germinate an ecosystem which will promote the ability of the children to express their connections and experiences of their life through words and numbers. Our school is attempting to make the process of education more organic. Our library will have books primarily in three languages: Santhali, Bengali and English. While Santhali is the mother tongue of many children they will learn to not just articulate but also develop an ability to comprehend their experiences through their own mother tongue; eventually learning Bengali and English through mediation of their mother tongue. To fill in the dearth of books and pedagogic material for Adivasi children we are partnering with Partham books to raise funds and publish readers for young rural children. Funds from this campaign will directly affect 87 children ( 50 girls 37 boys) within 4-9 years of age coming from over 60 families of the region. The funds collected through the campaign will be utilized to curate a library. We are aiming for 5 Library in a classroom (LIC) Kits. Each kit which has approx 110 books. We shall have books suitable for grades 1-5 in three languages.
