Breaking Barriers for the Visually Impaired

IELC students will be back from their summer break on June 14th and will start the new academic year. For the upcoming year, the team at Ann Foundation will be implementing a special curriculum, with entry and exit assignments, to monitor and ensure students progress to the next level in their learning and to provide the students with an enriched learning experience. Ann Foundation’s aim is to broaden the world of the Students at IELC by providing them opportunities to learn. ‘Learning through touch’ concept will be initiated along with ‘Personality Development’ coaching for the students.

With your generous contributions we continue to make an impact on the lives of the children at IELC.

We would like to thank all donors who continually support the children at IELC through generous donations and support. Thank you! You have made a real difference in the lives of the children that we serve.

With End Of the Year exams approaching in April 2019, the children at IELC are busy preparing for their exams and looking forward to their summer vacation. As always Ann Foundation's volunteer tutors have strived to improve the children's English Language proficiency and to provide exposure to a world of information through imparting important computer skills. In addition this time the volunteer tutors have also helped the children prepare for the year end exams.

Ms. Ann Moideen visited the school to oversee first hand the progress made by the school staff in helping children use the restrooms constructed in the school premises. The facility which is now fully functional has had a transformative effect and removed a major barrier towards effective learning for the children.

In the best interest of our students, Arjun Vedam, IELC coordinator visited the school earlier this year. This visit was organized with the intention of carrying out a detailed analysis of the existing services rendered and assess how we could better channelize our efforts for the benefit of our students.

With your generous contributions we have been able to complete constructions of ten toilets and eight showers for the children to use. These will be functional by the end of June. Ms. Ann Moideen is visiting the school to inaugurate the event. The students are extremely excited to begin using their new facility.

During her visit, the students will also receive new sets of school uniforms, which was designed by Ms. Moideen, herself.
