Books distribution in Rajiv Gandhi kachi basti school.

Books ready to be distributed

HOPE worldwide Jodhpur conducted a recent survey for a donor to start a computer and English learning        center at Rajiv Gandhi Kachi Basti Govt.Middle School, Jodhpur.This Government school  is  located  in the midst of a slum of over 5000 people, mostly rag pickers and daily wage labourers. The school has a total of 321 children (187 boys and 134 girls). The head master of the school Mr Heeraram Choudhary expressed the need for notebooks, pencils, erasers, and sharpeners for 1st – 3rd   grade children. The notebooks distributed at the beginning of the year get used up within the first four months.

Most of the parents living in the slum struggle hard to earn daily wages and make ends meet. With no money to spare apart from food and clothing, buying books for their children is unthinkable. No books and pressure from teachers to buy books could also be a reason for children to drop out from the school.

Recently  the  HOPE  staff collected a certain amount and bought notebooks, pencils, erasers and pencil sharpeners for all the school students. The kids were overjoyed to receive new books and that too of good quality. They started  using  them  right away.

What was so satisfying to each of us were the smiles on these little faces. The joy felt was unexplainable.

We  will  be  delighted if you also join hands with us in this noble cause. You may kindly forward our blog to friends with a similar interest, who may wish to participate in way of program sponsorship or in kind donation.

To run a computer and spoken English learning center in Govt. School it takes as little as Rs. 50/- per child/month. Join us as we bring hope and change lives…
