When U&I volunteer tutor Arathy walked into class in Thrissur, Kerala, she was in for a surprise. The students looked excited - like they had something up their sleeve!
A few minutes later, Arathy and the other volunteer tutors were asked to take their seats as the students had a play to perform for them.
The students in Arathy's English tutoring class had, on their own initiative, written a script for a play on the theme of kindness. They had practiced for a few days and now they were ready for their audience.
While the script may not have been perfect and while the acting may not have been award-worthy, the play was remarkable for all the right reasons. From the theme to the execution, the students had poured their creativity into this little production.
For Arathy and the other volunteers, this was a testimony not just to their work, but to the relationship they had built with each student. They were now seeing the fruit of their labor.
This is how U&I is transforming lives - one classroom at a time, one student at a time. We are giving them the confidence they need to shine where they choose.
Thank you for standing with us to transform the lives of more than 2000 children across India.
