Providing Education & Training to Women in India

Dear Supporter,

We are very excited to announce that our education project is expanding. Due to the overwhelming numbers of volunteers who have signed up for our education project, GVI India will be including St Louis School in their English teaching program.

Splitting their time over our current government school, Thamaraparambu (Thambu) Government School and St Louis, volunteers will have the opportunity to teach one-on-one lessons at Thambu, as well as larger classes at St Louis. 

The St Louis school has similar age groups to the children we are already teaching at Thambu, but they have four times as many students. This is an exciting development for us because not only will we be able to reach more children, but we are also expanding our programs beyond Engish lessons. We will be including classes in art, sport and any other subjects the volunteers are passionate about. 

Here is what one of our volunteers had to say about our education program at Thambu:

“Education volunteers spend their days at school teaching English to the students. The students assembly begins at 10am. From there, the volunteers begin their lessons. Classes are specific to the needs of the students and aim to develop the children's learning skills as well as their English. During times that the volunteers are not teaching a class, they are free to develop their own lessons for the next day and are also encouraged to research and create resources for future use in the school. This program has also aided in developing other school projects such as school photos for the children and teachers.”

We are very excited to see this passion and commitment carry across in our new partnership with St Louis. 

Thank you for your continued support.

With Gratitude, 

GVI-India
