Education for 300 Indigenous Children in India

In recent assessment, ARV board members appreciated all the children and teachers who are tutoring children every day and motivating their parents. It was so good experience that  some of new members and volunteers to see the program. They have also expressed their tratitude to all the team members of GlobalGiving. 

With the support of all the donars , we are taking care of girls who lost their parents and supporting their full amont of fee to continue their studies. In all the tutoring centers all the children are going to school and improving their standards. 15 children got special prises in their schools in recent examinations. 

18 times invited expert teachers to present technics to improve their memory in their studies and particularly in doing mathmatics. Distributed material on general knowledge and moral values. It was so excited to see the response of parents and neighboring villages. This special care on children education inspired other children and asking to start tutoring centers in their villages but we are not in a position to expand  the education centers. There is need in the villages as education is very expensive for rural poor children and they are approaching us.

Around 60 tribal children are getting monthly scholarship with the support of staring no more fecilitated by Robin Chow. The scholarship amount are using the food and school supplies for all the children. 

Government officials in the village of Kandrika visited the our tutoirng center and enquired , who are supporting the children and asked teachers to meet them in their office. Later ARV team members met the officials and expressed their happiest movements and promised to give uniform to all the children in next year.

Emenrgency need of donors on the basis of recorring on monthly basis so that we will ensure to conntnue the centers as we are struggling to support all the children. On behalf of ARV we thank all athe donors for their continues support.

 Rural Children have no access to quality education and recent data is talking about children education in Andhra Pradesh state as follows;

1. Enrollment of Dalith (Scheduled Caste) children in the 1st standard is 100%, but it falls to 79.72% at 8th standard.
2. School dropout rate at 6th standard is 23.91%, at 8th standard is 24.79% and at 10th standard is 34.99%.
3. Enrollment of Adivasi/ tribals (Scheduled Tribe) children at 1st standard is100%, at 7th standard is 67.71% and at 10th standard is 47.71%.
4. Dropout rate at 6th standard is 19.11%, at 8th standard is 49.80% and at 10th standard is 60.37%.

In this above context,  ARV has been seen tremendous response from the communities ( parents) as their children who are school dropouts’ are now going regularly to the school. More over there are 11 tribal children  started going to school at Machilipatnam with the inspiration of 35 students. Now the entire tribal colony children are going to school and getting scholarship monthly along with school supplies.  ARV staff every day  go to the village and ensure all the children go to school.

 ARV team convinced and motivated two girls parents to send their daughters to the High School. Because they rejected to send them school as the school is far from the village and expressed insecurity towards girls. Finally we succeeded to join them in High school and we are trying to buy two cycles for two girls to go school if any donor comes forward

All 300 children are going to school after summer vacation and all the children are promoted and passed the classes. GlobalGiving volunteer interacted with children and explained how to mobilise resources and to capacitate with Globalgiving team.

Two girls selected and got National Cadet Corps certificates in their schools. Their parents are so happy and expressed gratitude to ARV being taking care of children continuelsly. 

Teachers from Tutoring centers are taken challenge to capacitate them in communication skills and current affairs on weekly basis.

Since there is a need to support the children for their education , we invite corporates, agencies, individuals to support children education. Many villagers are requesting ARV to support their village children. 

Thanks for all the supporters.
