This learning centre is in Veeru Camp, an extension of Shanti Colony. This centre with one classroom is for a mixed class of juniors and seniors led by our teacher, Sumitra. The centre is open for three hours, six days a week after 2:00 pm when the children come back from the government school. 

We teach children Hindi, English and Mathematics according to their academic levels and help them to do better in their grades, thus preventing them from dropping out of school.

 

Reading is an integral part of everyday activities and is compulsory for every student.
