Thanking Lalitha Swamy and FPH for Anikhet Chaudhary
Aniket Chaudhari, a Sr.KG student was observed to hv a problem with both his feet.
On showing his photos to my friend Lalitha Swamy who was the VP at Fellowship For Physically Handicapped, she immediately got the doctors on her panel to see it and after they gave a favourable report, Aniket's father was called to school and counselled. after a lot of persuasion he agreed to take his son to FPH.
FPH helped him out completely, they paid for all the expenses including operations, medicines, orthopaedic foot wear and any other costs and also got their own person to accompany him to their attached hospital. A series of operations followed and one foot was corrected.
Aniket visited the school in August last year. He was happy that he would be able to walk properly like other children and looked forward to joining school again. After another series of operations and extensive after care, Aniket resumed school this year.
His aunt had taken care that he was tutored at home and although he missed a year of school Sandipan, the head master and Vijay Sir ensured that he was admitted directly to the second standard. Just saw him running about in school this afternoon like any other normal child.

Computer Workshop - June 2011
Delighted to inform you that we just completed a 5 week computer workshop yday. Initially 56 children enrolled, however only 35 children completed the same (mainly as they left for their native towns).
The children were taught basics of word, tux paint, power point presentation and typing in hindi. On Saturdays the students were taught art techniques like etching, block painting, quilling and origamy.
5 students who had earlier done the workshop 2 yrs ago came in on Saturdays to brush up and learn Power Point. The students were also shown films like Kung Fu Panda and Shark Tale which they enjoyed thoroughly. At the end of 5 weeks each child made their own power point presentation on their favourite story.
None of this would have been possible but for our sponsors, the BMC authorities, Rajiv Raut who taught and took care of all the technical aspects, and our young volunteers Abhijeet, Karan, Aaron,Mohena,Radhika, Lakshita, Shveta, Mikhail and Mansi who gave of their valuable time and taught with passion and patience.

Juhu residents supervise municipal school

Mumbai: The upscale residents of Juhu are serious about imparting quality education to children from slums in their area. Ward number 63 under the chairmanship of their local corporator Adolf DSouza in Juhu has formed a committee with active Juhu residents under the government’s Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan scheme to monitor municipal schools in their ward.
They have successfully started a pilot project of monitoring Gandhigram municipal school opposite Iskcon temple in Juhu. As of December 2010, this committee has managed to register 415 students. It is now a thriving English medium municipal school showing a remarkable rise in demand for admissions.
The committee comprising members from Juhu Welfare Citizens Trust include Sherley Singh, Anand Desai, Gulu Gadekar, Jenny Baptista and Anjali Bose, headed by local corporator Adolf Dsouza. The committee observed that there was a high dropout rate in municipal schools because parents wanted children to be educated in English. “We realised our challenges were quite significant. English teachers were not present in BMC schools. Basic resources weren’t available,” said Desai.
The committee went house-to-house and started the registration process. The teachers are volunteers from Teach for India and Podar Education Trust, experienced retired teachers from the Juhu locality and a couple of municipal teachers. The administrative responsibility is looked after by Gulu Gadekar, who has 30 years of Montessori education experience. The first day, 80 children enrolled and now there are 415, said Anjali Bose, member, managing committee of the school, on Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
