We said good-bye to the old year with a wonderful 5-week Summer Program and with lots of nostalgic moments to remember the past year. Our attached Annual Report says it all.
The new academic year has started, bringing with it the joys of adopting more rural schools and impacting more underprivileged children – as also a multitude of challenges.
This year we have so far adopted 18 more schools covering over 1,250 more children, bringing a total of 2,250 kids under our Program. We have trained and welcomed to the OBLF family 25 more rural ladies as Coordinators. We hope to change their lives for the better, as we have done for our existing 24 ladies.
We have started in earnest, and have already completed the Baseline Assessments – Oral and Written – of all our children. Our Senior Coordinators have become real pros at this and conduct the assessments with ease. These baseline assessments will help us track each child’s progress, when we compare it with the year-end assessments in February 2018.
The challenges of the new year have already visited us in the form of logistical impediments coupled with the resistance of the new rural families to the challenging idea of a “working woman”. But we are confident that as in the past, we will work through all this, to achieve our goal of providing quality education to our under-served children.
