Dear Well-wishers,
Regards from Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch.
The education scenario now days has changed totally. Everything is getting online and students have to adjust it whether they have the supportive equipment or not. Through the support of likeminded people Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) has able to collect some few smart phones and distributed among our beneficiaries, as they were not having any such devices or they were not able to manage to buy them.
In this report GVT wants to share about Kamlesh (Name Changed), student of class 11 in Jhagadia block of Bharuch district. He is good at studies and with support of GVT he was benefited by bicycle and other educational materials before Covid-19. He used to attend class regularly and he was in touch with our Field Team. But due to Covid-19 pandemic the whole education got online and he was not able to attend it. He is staying in a small hut and do not have TV or smart phone in the family so he was facing difficulty to attend his classes.
Our team members helped him by clubbing him with one of his classmate in nearby village, where he started going regularly to attend his classes online. But few days back in his village some people find Covid-19 positive and it was difficult for him to visit the other village. Parents and other villagers were not finding it safe for him and for other villagers also so he stopped going to his friend’s house.
In this period at GVT received some of the smart phone, and Kamlesh was in the top priority to give the smart phone. Though the phone’s condition is good but some battery issue is there but still Kamlesh is very happy by receiving it. He installed some of the important application for his study and our team mates are in daily contact for any concerns if he finds.
Till date GVT has given smart phones, tablets and some of the reading materials to the needy one who can able to resume their study in this critical times. Though it is a small steps in getting the education resume but still it has given a strong impact on the students and families. At GVT we are still in need of collecting the devices to help the students, if you people can support by donating some amount of money than it will really help the students in their studies.
