VOLUNTEER AS A TEACHER
I joined FKA in August 2020 and I started teaching children at a slum in Munirka on weekends. This is a part of Project Akshar. There are children from Nursery to class 9 there. I enjoy teaching them Hindi, English, and Maths.
I soon developed a good connect with all the children and after every session came back home very happy and content. We have been celebrating all festivals introducing the children to our culture. Fun activities, games and competitions from time to time have made the children look forward to their weekend classes.
I also interacted with the parents and have got a good exposure to their struggles and problems. It was very satisfying to bring about some changes in their attitudes and approaches to their children’s education.
It has been a great learning opportunity for me personally. Teaching slum children has given me an insight into their life, struggles, aspirations, and challenges.
The project has given me a lot of joy and satisfaction.
