We want to get to know details about the kids who we are teaching.Every time we go there we see a new face and some who we’ve seen before don’t always show up.We want to find a way to keep track of the kids.
It was amazing asking their parents name their age and if they go to school .
One of the kids said, ‘ I come to your school only’.
I felt sad hearing some of the kids didn’t have one parent (died).
Some of the parents were around and they wanted us to write their kids name first .
We didn’t have much time today so didn’t get all kids name yet .
In the end we talked with one of the parents and he told us some things which he felt were responsible for the kids not talking studies seriously ( family problem, parents can’t afford school fees, most of the time kids are playing in the fields. Kids are in lower classes according to their age, getting addicted to tobacco ). He also mentioned that some kids are very good in studies too like Vikas who is in class 4 in a government school. Before this he was in a boarding school (may be an orphanage) in Dehradun but now they have started charging money for their expenses which his parents couldn’t afford so he is back in the slums. He liked our idea of helping the kids, he wanted us to come more often.
