The month of April turned out to be a quite a challenging month for Aagaz. After an extensive scouting, we finally managed to get a new room in the community for conducting the classes. We expected things to go smoothly after getting the new room, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. Since the classes had been discontinued for 3 weeks, many kids had started loosing the interest in coming for the classes. By the time we started the classes, 7-8 kids which were regular in the class had relocated with their parents to some other places. The number of children coming for the classes came down to 15-17 from the previous month’s number of 40+ children. During second week of April, admission of nine children was done in anubhav school(run by Ryan International inside their campus.).However, the rickshaw guy left ,hence children were not able to commute to the school.
Last week only, we had talked to another rickshawwala guy .We need to fix up the whole situation again.
So that children can start going to school again.Summer holidays for the school starts from 9 th may to 1st July. We also had to face severe shortage of volunteers, as most of the volunteers at Aagaz were busy with their exams or with their office commitments. Hopefully, things will improve once the exams get over and summer vacations start in the colleges. |

As the name suggest this is the beginning of new project in sector-52 .This is a beginning for those children who could not go to school and another beginning for the children who were drop out from the school . As its in very initial phase there is nothing much to mentione and the most important part is to win the trust of parents, there are lot of children who can be helped though this project , As I remember there are three siblings (Rinki,Badal & Abhay) do not go to school without any reason or we don’t know the reason so we need to talk to their parents . - Darshan Mehra Coordinator, AID Prayas -
