Give A Girl A Bicycle - Help Her To Go School

Dear Well-wishers,

Regards from Gram Vikas Trust and the beneficiaries.

In this pandemic situation, GVT is supporting the girls with different medium and try to engage them in learning activities, so that they do not get disengaged with education. At GVT we believe that continuous learning and support of parents in children’s learning will help the children to achieve their goal or smooth education will occur.

GVT has connected with all the girls, who were benefited with the bicycles and other education support. Most of the girls were enjoying their vacation time as per out initial communication with them. And they were not studying at home, and supporting the family in home chores or agriculture work. GVT’s field team have talked with all the girls and have asked them to join in government Home Learning program daily so that they do not get distracted from education.

In this conversation we have engaged some of their school teachers, who can help them by providing some homework, so lessons to read and simple exercise they can do it their own. We have also interacted with some of the parents, who were strongly believe that education will not happen at home (specially on TV and or mobile), we have educate them about the importance of daily some exercise about learning and how it will help the students in after school reopen. We have also support the girls if they do not have TV/Mobile at home, ask their neighbours to support.

The elder girls who were in 12^th standard, we have asked them to read and some practice for their upcoming courses. 12 girls will join bachelors (Arts, Commerce and Science), 3 girls will join GNM nursing and 2 will join computer courses. Our team is supporting them in how they can practice at home.

We at GVT are trying to support the girls by different modes so that they cannot think to drop out after this pandemic, let us come together so that we can save the girls future.
