I am conducting 1 section of Eureka read/write kit with Meghna and Charu in Prayas (Noida) from 6 pm to 8.30 pm. Children have attained word level of proficiency. We have also included drawing activities in our classes. This month we started another class in Prayas by name eureka-2. We have 6 children in Eureka-2 section. Children are becoming more regular. The classes are held every day from Monday to Saturday. I am planning to prepare some charts, which will be put up in Prayas after renovation. So presently four volunteers are taking class along with me. I will be introducing new materials in classes soon. I have contacted volunteers of aid for preparing materials, which will be required when increasing activites in Prayas. Nikunj |

Month of June was really very fulfilling in terms of setting target for Prayas. Earlier we had achieved to get admitted 5 kids in Nayi Disha School .But we have to set the larger goal for the community and for this we completed one Survey in the community to find out the actual needy kids who can be probables for next session in Nayi Disha. We did the survey for the whole community and now we have very nice and relevant database about the information of the families and kids. After compilation of all the data we distributed all the kids in two groups
1. Probables for class 2nd and 3rd next year.
2. Probables for class 1st in next year.
We had a very nice session with the parents of First group, it was fruitful and now I (Darshan) & Kannan are taking classes for these kids at 8:30 at night on Tuesday and Thursday. Those 5 kids already going to Nayi Disha will be taught by us ( Me & Kannan ) on Monday & Wednesday @ 8:30 PM ,this class will be called Pratham-1 and rest alternative day class will be called Pratham -2
AID Fulltimer Nikunj, with Charu is taking class at 6 PM for small kids (probables for class 1st next year) on alternative days basis. This class will be called Eureka-1 class. And Eureka -2 class will start soon on rest of the alternative days. Weekend classes will be taken by Sugandha & rest of the volunteers.
Our next target is to admit 20-25 kids into Nayi Disha or any better school from the next session and we all will work for the cause.
We had a meeting (CSH) on 29th June and atleast 15 volunteers were there. Movie screening by Abhinav was successful event apart from our Prayas & Aagaz discussions. It is nice to see the motivation of all the volunteers and I can really see the CHANGE we have created from June 2007 to June 2008.
I personally congratulate everyone behind the small success whatever we got for the kids & the community.O Our team of Prayas was joined by few new volunteers i.e. Meghna, Shubham & Abhishek, and we welcome them for this association. |

Working with Eureka kit at Prayas Things included:- 1. Why eureka? 2. Work on eureka kit so far. 3. Present status. 4. Future plans. Eureka is known as one of the best education model, which has been very effectively proved by successful implementation. Currently this education system is in use in most of the schools of Tamil Nadu & formally the government has adapted it to the present education system. Well so far, I began with gathering as much knowledge as I could about Eureka kit .I came to know that eureka is totally different from normal schooling education system, which is currently in use by most of the schools. It gives stress on things that any education plan or kit should be first of all interesting and enjoyable for children’s. It was totally different from the way I had education in my school. It was not like not like the way education is seen by all of us as boring either it was fun for children’s to learn. |
