Send 300 children to school in 2014-15

At Hippocampus our endeavor is to provide a vibrant and healthy learning environment for our children so that the knowledge they gain helps them excel in higher classes and future workspaces.

This is reflected in our education philosophy which seeks to build the “learning to learn” skills in children, recognized by experts as essential and crucial to their success, making them self-learners.

We describe a  self-learner as one who is able to extend what he has learnt, to do something new by himself

 Self-learning thus gives a child tremendous confidence and the ability to face new environments and respond to new stimuli without fear making them confident, happy individuals.

This was evident at The Hippocampus Annual day program– a platform created to encourage our children to showcase their learning to their families and other members of the communities ,who supported the event with their participation making it a resounding success.

Each year the community participates both financially and in spirit by turning up in large numbers making it a celebrated event in the village. A key highlight this year was an exhibition of the children’s work during the year put together by them in the form of projects. On display were projects created and presented by the children on 21 themes that represented various aspects of their curriculum. Visitors were impressed with the oratory skills of our children who explained the concepts confidently.

The main program also saw the students host a show that comprised skits, role plays, recitations based on what they had learnt during the year.

This was thus the culmination of another satisfying year, heralding the start of a new , promising one with plans of adding in more centres, reaching out to more children and moving slowly but surely in the direction of the change we intend to bring about .

We have initiated the process of enrolments for the new academic year already and will be provide an update in the next 2-3 months on the number of children who will benefit from the scholarship funds raised through your generous contributions.

Thank You all once again for your support.

Warm Regards
