Sustaining children in education is increasingly becoming a challenge in Kerala society. Increasing technological advancement has created great interest in children and there is a movement towards increased use of cell phones and other electronic gadgets. Still existing old system of education does not interest chidlren as there are so many creative games, social media to occupy children. The system of education needs to be updated urgently.
We have found a new method to reduce dropouts and restore them in education. We found that children are very much interested in learning the traditional percussion instrument of Kerala named 'CHENDA'. So we identified dropped out chidlren and set up chenda classes. Due to their interest they have been very regular to these classes. Slowly we brought in a rule that those who attend school only will be given chance to learn the instrument. All the 17 children are now regularly attending school.
A special word of gratitude to our benefactors for the support provided to sustain our kids in education. Your contribtion does impact the lives of chidlren!
