Dear Friends,
It is my pleasure to share our latest report via Global Giving on the progress of our project to provide quality education to the marginalized children in Kishanganj district of Bihar.
The last few weeks have seen floods and continuous rainfall in Kishanganj affecting studies at the learning centers.
The classes have began post rains and festival season and varies from 2 to 4 hours depending upon the availability of the children as most of them help their parents in fields or take care of their younger siblings.
Marufa our teacher at Maheshmara village is a young teacher who is running the center. She says,” learning is a continuous process and I also learn with these children.” Community support along with Marufa’s efforts is helping girls to continue their education who otherwise would have completely stopped studying.
Yasmin a smiling ten-year-old girl loves coming to the learning center with her younger sister. She says, “It is impossible to study at home as I have to do many chores. Whatever I learn here is the only time I get to open my books”.
Some of our centers are again badly damaged in the second spell heavy rains thus hampering the regular classes.
Do contribute to help us rebuilt the centers and keep these disadvantaged children into the education program. We would be grateful if you can spread the word. We really need support to continue this program.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or ideas at aif_org@yahoo.co.in
