Underprivileged children fm slum getting Education

By vasavi | SAC coordinator

The 16th annual day celebrations of HOPE foundation Matriculation School brought out the essence of cultural diversity and display of talent.

A colorful cultural programmer was organized to display the talent of the students.

Amongst the events planned, a mime with a social message on “preserving the trees” was presented by the students and it stole the show. Various dances presented by students received a huge applause.

14 Students who recorded 100% attendance were awarded. Irrespective of the challenges they faced in their day to day lives they were coming to school daily was commendable. The students come from a community wherein more than 90% of men including youngsters are addicted to alcohol and a large percentage to ganja. (The students live in a neighbourhood that is forced to turn to criminal ways to meet their daily demands, as their address has been denying them employment for the past 17 odd years.

Thanks to all of you for partnering with us to educate these children and help them to realize their dreams.

Students from 6th to 9th Std created the model of “Faster communication with Safe & Pollution Free Streets

All the students took lots of interest and efforts in gathering the information to come up with this model. The model spoke of having a pollution free streets with rain harvesting channels, air ambulance with a blood bank, display boards on foot over bridges to let the commuters know of traffic jams, hydraulic car parking zones, separate track for Ambulance, fire engines, police patrolling team etc..

All credit goes to the students as they were the ones who came up with this model Teachers facilitated the process. Students made efforts right from brain storming for ideas to bringing the raw material required to put up the show was incredible.

One cannot and should not underestimate the power of knowledge in underprivileged children. They too are blessed with innovative and creative skills and we need to chisel it and channelize it to bring out the best in them.

We thank all the donors who stand with us and support us in developing the students of HOPE School to become the future scientists, engineers, doctors etc…
