New students, new aspirations

SSLC (Class 10) exams were completed on 9th April, 2010. Hundreds of students are out there yearning to study further, but for various reasons, they cannot. Domestic problems, financial crunch, not enough of a motivating environment to study, no mentor to guide them through. The situation may be despairing, yet we can try to reach out to some of them. All we have to tell ourselves is – Yes, we can!

Yes, we can! – A new academic year is about to begin and our team has begun the process of identifying new students who would need support. Filling up forms, verification, house-visits have started and will intensify over the coming weeks. There will be even more action as soon as the Class 10 results are out – admission processes, liasion with colleges for fee reductions, guiding the students along the right avenues, and a zillion other things. Join us in the action, the excitement and the experience.
