Current Projects

Reading to the Smallest (RTTS) :

To build the educational relationship between parents and children this activity has started. Through the books of only pictures, pictures and words the parents have trained to form a story for the child. And ask them to tell the story to the child with the help of same book. There can be repetition of same story for 2-3 times for the child. This makes the parents to aware that they are equally responsible to look after the education of their child not only the school or school teacher. The parents have supported by providing books and trainings have conducted to make the stories out of it. So far 237 children & their parents have supported through this activity.
