Dear friends,
A very happy summer to you! At this glorious time of the year, we have some of our own sunshine from OBAT’s preschools to send over to you.
Recently, we added a new center in the Ferozeshah camp in Rangpur, which makes the total number of preschools, twenty-one. These centers collectively house 232 delightful boys and 247 charming girls.
Since the last time you heard from us, we had two more training workshops conducted for our teachers. These were held in Chittagong and Rangpur. The workshops taught the teachers how to improve upon their current methods of teaching English, Bangla, Art and Math to the young children. The workshops are interactive in nature and feedback from the teachers is an integral part of revising the curriculum or making adjustments where needed.
In the accompanying pictures, you will also see some of the text books used by the school. These have been designed by the Education Coordinator of OBAT, Sohail Akhter Khan and his wife, Shamim Akhter who serves OBAT in a voluntary capacity. The couple has extensive experience working with Concern Worldwide prior to joining OBAT. Concern Worldwide is an international nonprofit organization.
We cannot thank you enough for generously supporting OBAT’s preschools through your contributions via GlobalGiving. In this year, we were able to get donations from some wonderful new donors and I would like to extend my special thanks to them. Only $3,140 remains to be raised for this project. We hope to reach that goal together with your support.
Best,
Saima Hassan.
