Dear friends,
Since the outbreak in March 2020 COVID-19 has caused disorder across the world and education has been hit hard. Education is an essential right for children and is a priority. We are glad to report that we were able to conduct regular physical classes in batches for our children since June 2021. The school reopened on 21st June 2021. The school marked the first day with all the new normal operations like sanitization and social distancing and are being practiced every day. All our children who are residing in our residential homes were very excited, to begin with, their school activities again.
Regular classes were held for the children along with all the extracurricular activities like music, dance, singing, football, indoor and outdoor games. Till date, the same mode of teaching, physical classes, and same is being continued. In order to impact the child’s academic achievements, the teachers took the initiative of bridging the gap the children had during the pandemic, by revising the basic concepts and relearning the same for few weeks. This was possible because of the generous help and support that was given by donors and supporters like you. Currently, there are 189 children with 115 boys and 74 girls.
The children answered their first assessment on August 25th and the majority of them have done fairly well in their assessments. The school will ensure the children have the best chance for a happier childhood
Your continued support will help us to reach out to more children across the country and the state of Goa. We will continue to keep you updated about the school in the following months.
If you would like to regularly engage in this Endeavour and project, we encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation for a small amount, which will go a long way in giving them a bright future.
