Going to School in India - Mini-Books for Children
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesMillions of children in India drop out of school because education does not seem to be relevant to their lives and they are not inspired to go to school. There are no stories of children going to school in India told through the perspective of a child. ActivitiesGoing to School in India communicates with children about children, working to inspire change in schools by celebrating stories of activity-based learning. It envisions that children can begin to understand each other through what they know, through the shared experience of going to school. Books will be distributed for free to schools in slums & villages in India. Children will read these books and will send us their responses to the books on a postcard.

Why this Project is ImportantPotential Long Term ImpactChildren will learn more about other children across India and begin to understand each other. Also, the books celebrate school, so children will want to learn more. They may even attempt to read books they have otherwise found difficult. Project Message
Children in this story go to school at night because they don't have time during the day. We have time all day and still don't go to school or come back early. We should go to school everyday. Who is Running This ProjectContact
