GLOBAL GIVING QUARTERLY REPORT
JULY 2020- SEPTEMBER 2020
DHANPATMAL VIRMANI EDUCATION TRUST & MANAGEMENT SOCIETY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since March 2020, our worlds have been turned upside down in every department of our lives. The current global pandemic has halted most of the operations and we all are unable to move out. We all are adapting to the changes in our surroundings and in our daily lives.
In the beginning, we were utterly puzzled on how to move forward with our programs as most of our team is on-ground. With patience and brainstorming, we took the step to carry out all our operations online. We started to teach our beneficiaries online and they were excited about the online classes. Yes, we had our own struggles and ups & downs, but we believe to rise from every crisis and problems.
From July, 2020 to September 30, 2020, we have been teaching 9992 beneficiaries online.
WOMEN LITERACY PROGRAM (ONLINE CLASSES)
We commenced with the Women Literacy Program online classes in April 2020. The concept of teaching the beneficiaries online is new for the Center in-charges and the beneficiaries, yet it is a success. Beneficiaries feel proud and thrilled via the new way of learning. They never imagined in their dreams that they can learn online too. In total, we are educating 9992 beneficiaries online. Our beneficiaries have learnt how to read & write basic Hindi and Arithmetic.
ONLINE SESSIONS
Online sessions have been conducted regarding the COVID-19 with the Coordinators, Senior Coordinators, Center in-charges, and beneficiaries.
CHARTS TO AWARE OF THE COMMUNITIES
Center in-charges & beneficiaries made charts related to COVID-19 with the purpose to create awareness in the communities.
HANDMADE MASKS BY CENTER IN-CHARGES AND BENEFICIARIES
Our Center in-charges and beneficiaries have stitched 20,208 and 5,587 masks respectively for the deprived families and the communities to curb the shortage of masks at the medical stores. We are overwhelmed by the kind gesture of our Center in-charges and can solely learn from them.
RATION DISTRIBUTION
Ration distribution was carried out by Tata Power- DDL in the destitute communities such as Model Town, Shalimar Bagh, Narela, and Keshavpuram to help the coronavirus patients. Our Center in-charges assisted the Tata Poweer-DDL team in the distribution.
ACTIVITY DAY
During the current global pandemic, it is pivotal to concentrate on mental health. We are very much aware of the fact that a plethora of people are under stress and anxiety about what the future holds. To resolve this problem to some extent, we decided to encourage the beneficiaries to carry out activities they love the most such as stitching, cooking, etc. every Saturday. These activities can surely assist the beneficiaries to take some load and stress off from their minds.
We are eternally thankful for your support throughout. You truly make a difference for us, and we are extremely grateful.
Best Regards,
Virmani Education Trust
