I am Vivek, a freelancer teacher in Oxford English School, Garudacharpalya, Bangalore.
Accompanied by my wife Sumana, we both are working towards improving the quality and level of education provided currently in the School mentioned above. This school is located in the rural parts of Bangalore near to Whitefield. People in this area are mainly with very low income and struggle too much to meet their basic daily requirements.
This School was started in 1988 by my parents Mr. Ramakrishna and Ms. Vijayalakshmi after 8 years of their marriage with an intention to provide basic education to the rural kids out there. They started off with an annual fee of just Rs. 900 and is running even today with an annual fee of Rs. 12,000 providing all the needs for the children including text books and note books, uniform, school bags, tie, belt, ID cards etc. This School is almost a non profit organization and just carrying out of providing the best possible education to the rural kids in the vicinity.
Reason behind raising funds for this School is,

  1. To provide improved level of education by establishing smart classes which would enable the children to learn faster with more efficiency.
  2. to provide a computer lab with minimum of 8 computers in it to provide basic knowledge on computers. Although theory classes are conducted, there is no possibility to teach them practically. Hence, we are planning to set up a computer lab and teach them practically what they learn theoretically.
  3. to renovate the toilet rooms to provide clean and hygiene sanitary.
  4. to buy play ground requirements for the children. The importance of a playground for kids can never be ignored as their physical health mostly depends on their play activities.
  5. to recruit better teachers for Mathematics and Science.

Below I am listing the cost estimate of all the above needs.

  1. A laptop, An LED Projecter, A Projector Screen, 1,50,000

    to compensate the children strength
    TOTAL ESTIMATE =========================== 11,85,000

We have tried taking the first step and do not claim to be change makers; but yes we claim to be one amongst those who face the problems head on and try to find a concrete solution to them. We claim to bring happiness to these kids. And all this would be possible if you help this cause.

PS: We are open to donations in other forms like laptops, printer, computers (old but in working condition), cupboards, storybooks (English/Kannada) etc.
