Each One Teach One

 

 

Every year in the summer holidays, we invite school students to find one illiterate person and help them to learn to read and write, using the Global Dream materials. Around 160 schools in Lucknow and surrounding cities have participated so far, and some 3 lakh kits have been distributed, at nominal cost.

If you are a school student, teacher or administrator, and would like to get involved, please contact us.

 

 

Testimonies

“The day I started to teach the learner I saw tears rolling down her cheeks. I asked her why she was crying. She replied very gently that people used to make fun of her because her Hindi was not that good. After a couple of weeks of teaching her, she told me with pride in her eyes that there is no one who can make fun of her anymore. I feel a sense of achievement because after a week of putting all my energy into teaching her, she can now read a newspaper with ease.”

Elina Singh 12 years old Study Hall Age of the learner: 9

It was quite a good experience being a mentor. I taught her everything I could and it is a nice feeling to see a person happy because of your help. She has a passion for learning. She wants to learn more and more. The learner’s name is Madhu and she is from a rural background. She is a maid and she is 40 years old. She is a fighter as she has struggled a lot in her life. Her husband is an alcoholic and is up to no good. She is the only one that works for her whole family. She spends the whole day working to earn enough money to feed her family as well as put her kids in school. She herself had never been to school so this was a great opportunity to make such a nice person like her literate.

Manjari Agrawal 13 years old Study Hall Age of the learner: 40

I made five people literate over the summer. My youngest learner was called Saras Bajpai and he is only five years old. After seeing his eagerness to learn more his parents promised to send him to school and let him study till the level he wishes to keep studying...
My fifth and final learner was Sushila Raidas who is 43 years old. She had never been to school so in the beginning she lacked confidence. But after she finished learning from me the difference I saw in her was immense

Kawalpreet Kaur 15 years old Bal Vidya Mandir Age of the learners: 5,7, 13, 16 & 43

As this project says that ‘no one should be left behind’ I found a girl called Gunjan who was very eager to study. But unfortunately her parents were not able to send her to school because they lived in a village where girls were not allowed to go to school. Gunjan found it really tough in the beginning but she has learned so much that she can now read a newspaper. Through this experience I have got to know Gunjan and her family really well and they even thanked me for educating Gunjan.
