It’s a humble beginning, but it really meets the crucial needs of orphaned children dropped out from school due to failure in exams. Started from the month of June 2014, Buds Vocational Open School (BVOS) has inspired and motivated young minds to set higher goals for their life. Now the children are able to understand that failure is not the end of their life’s destiny but that same failure can become a beginning point for a new ambition in life.
Elamurugan,15 years, orphan and living with life long illness has joined Buds Vocational Open school. Though he was doing his 10th standard this year, he found the lessons too pressurising and stopped attending school. As we found young people who have dropped out of school taking very risky decisions, Elamurugan was given an option to attend Buds Open school. For the last 2 months, he has been attending the school. Special coaching is given by the tutors in the subjects along with support and motivation from other senior adolescents who have passed out and joined college, so that he can get back to the mainstream next year.
BVOS objective is to empower orphan children like Elamurugan who have shown low proficiency in normal stream of education which causes low self esteem. BVOS addresses this issue thorugh participatory and practical based alternate form of education. Your support and donation to this school is much valued and we strive to provide the best individual care and mentorship to orphan children thereby empowering them to live life with dignity.
