“Each One Teach One is not just a phrase, its a war against illiteracy”.
It is the duty of every successful individual to give back to the community and share the resources with those in need. What better way than to help educate them and prepare them for a better future.
When a student is adopted following your donation the progress report of the student is shared half yearly with the sponsor. Apart from this regular counselling sessions are held for parents to educate them about the need for quality education and a condusive environment for the child. The Project Manager holds regular counselling sessions with children for their academic growth with a lot of stress on moral and spiritual education as well. The students are taught the three main principles of Sri Guru Nanak dev ji – Kirat Karo, Naam Japo, Vand Chhako and are motivated to implement them in their lives.
