How we will utilise these books

ASSEFA which stands for Association for Sarva Seva Farms started as the Phase-2 of Vinoba Bhave's Bhoodan movement, with the mission to promote gram swaraj or self reliant rural communities. To this end, ASSEFA has started schools in various villages across Tamilnadu. We are part of the Madhuranthagam project which includes schools in Pooriyampakkam and Periyakalakadi. As teachers in the school, we are working to contextualize the urban curriculum to suit the rural needs. We also work as teacher trainers towards empowering teachers to reach each and every child. A project for setting up learning centers across the villages is in the pipeline to promote adult literacy as well. We will be setting up 4 school libraries, 2 classroom libraries and 4 libraries for the learning centers. Through these libraries, we hope to spark the interest towards reading and push the reading levels of the children. These libraries will be spaces where children, teachers and adults in the villages come together to learn and share stories.
