Who we are
We are 27 kids studying in Government school in Bangalore. We need funds to create a library for our class. We love to read. Reading transports us to a magical world and makes us happy. So please help us to set up our library.
Our work and its impact
I am Asha. In a life before joining teach for india I worked as a software developer in corporate India. I always wanted to work with kids. This motivated me to apply to TFI. I now teach 27 amazing kids in a government school in Neelasandra Bangalore. TFI is an organisation that recruits motivated individuals from all walks of life and deploys them in low income government or private schools. These schools have children whose reading and writing levels are way below their actual grade levels.
How we will utilise these books
We work with kids in low income government school. Our vision for the kids is to make them independent thinkers. They will be able to analyse situations, make connections to what they have read and learnt, know how to seek information and become informed decision makers. We move ahead with this vision and facilitate by teaching school materials, other exposure and access materials and also work towards positively changing their values and mindsets. We also visit the community they live in and work in parallel to ensure that what is taught in school also permeates their community. We plan to set up a in classroom library for our class. This will ensure that the kids have access to the beautiful and imaginative world of books to improve their reading, analytical and comprehension skills, These skills developed now will create a perfect foundation for their success in future.
