A School to build Conscious Global Citizen

The Kindergarten classes started from the last week of January . Two teachers were hired and also being trained bi weekly by a veteran Teacher from a US primary school system and who received State's best Teacher Award in 2023.

New cohorts of students will be admitted after this class graduate to the next to keep the continiuty of the school culture and consistency in learning. With donations, we were able to buy two projectors and a screen for the class which is helping the kids to enjoy visual learning as well and would have access to International volunteer teachers to teach through zoom.

Nutritional snacks are being provided as we found out from a free health check-up that most of the kids in that locality are under nourished. With our limited fund, we are able to provide egg, 1 glass of meal and energy biscuits to the students everyday.

Due to the continious outage in the area, we are still in need of a generator or smaller electricity backup system soon as the summer is in full swing.

Attached are some photos from the class room activities, health clinic, International Water Day awareness program, crafting etc.

More partents are interested to bring their kids to the school but as its the middle of the year, we stopped admitting new kids. Also, parents with no income do not have to pay the subsidized monthly school fee which we are trying to compensate through individual donations.

With increased fundign we would be able to more educational programs for the kids in the community including trip to museum, competitions, community clean-up... We envision this school to be a positive changing force in the community.

Shwopnochura Shafat Memorial School in Ashulia (Outskirts of the Capital city Dhaka) is ready for operations. We hired three teachers for the school and they will be trained to follow the Social Emotional Learning curriculum emphasizing on building caring and curious learners. 

We got donations to make furnitures for three classroom setting. Got donated toys. Funding is needed to buy instructional materials and at least ensuring 6 months salary for the teachers. We are also looking for support to provide healthy snacks during the school hour to the kids. We are starting with few number of students from Pre-K. AFter school programs on computer learning, english language, arts will be launched soon. 

As the area is in the rural setting , one of the bigegst challange is to find the right teachers. This is why, we hired university students to support the initial stages of learning at Pre K and Kindergarten . Also raising fund for screens in the class to bring in expert teachers teaching the class online with the aid of assistant teacher present in the classrooms.

We are planning to build a comunity library inside the school to promote reading by creating the space to inspire young people in the community to read and grow.
