Sessions of book reading are periodically held with slum children in the slum areas of Indore and Agra. Children manage a mobile library of books containing stories primarily based on moral themes. After reading, the children are stimulated to understand and think the learnings they inferred from the stories and write 4-5 messages. This activity complements the modest education provided by government and private schools in slums or near slums. This exercise is a positive stimulant towards inculcating the habit of reading and introspection. This effort enables slum children to gain exposure to books beyond their school textbooks and think and discuss interesting stories and themes.
