Educate 100 Under Privileged Children for One Year

In continuation with our efforts towards the project 'Educate 100 underprivileged children for one year', ACT is pleased to announce that we have now entered year 2 of our online mode of educational exchange.

This is the story of one of our soon-to-be graduates. It serves as a testament to the consistency of holistic support that each of our children receives in order to grow and develop as individuals.

Nimisha(name changed):

I joined the Trust when I was in Class 4; although I've learnt a lot over the years, what stands out the most is when I first became a senior. In my first year of Pre University (Class 11), I was encouraged to take up the responsibility of helping out in different ways at the Trust. It all started with me learning how to turn on a computer; now, I can confidently call myself an Excel expert! I was a part of the team that is responsible for collating data with respect to volunteers, students and donors; I was in charge of web links and newsletters. We seniors were also involved with teaching some of our juniors English. All that I am able to do is because of what I have learnt at the Trust. I am especially grateful to the Trust for helping me discover my talent for singing and subsequently assist me to hone my skill.          

Last year, I was presented with an opportunity to give back to my community.

"I volunteered to be a part of the covid relief team because I wanted to let people know that they could depend on the Trust, not just in happy times, but also in difficult situations."

"I am very happy that I was able to help people during difficult times. It was a chance for me to practice the values that I have learnt at the Trust."

12 years of sustained support, in every aspect I can think of, is not something that I can be grateful for with just words.
