Hi All,
The deaf school has opened for classes. Classes are currently being offered for 2 hours during the weekends by voluntary teachers. We are extremely indebted to these teachers for offering to take classes for the deaf students. The photo below shows teacher Anup Bose, a Bachelors of Visual Arts graduate from Vishva Bharati University imparting his computer knowledge to the students.There is an immense need for these classes as evidenced by the increasing number of students every week. They commute for 2-3 hours from faraway places such as Midnapore, Asansol and Burdwan to attend the school. Our goal is to hire full-time qualified teachers so we can open classes full-time during the week.
The managing committee and trustee board for the deaf school will be formed on November 1st during which the name of the school will be decided. We have also applied for the school registration and expect to get it shortly.
Thank you all for being a part of this exciting journey. We hope we can convey many more positive milestones to you in the days to come. Your support is invaluable to us.
Thank you,
Regards,
Bulbul Ganguly
