There are many
children in India who will not complete primary school. Often they
will return home from school and be expected to spend time looking
after younger brothers and sisters or helping with family chores.
They may even be
expected to spend time working in the fields alongside their parents
and can become too tired to study at school the next day. At best
they will struggle alone with homework, perhaps aided only by the
light from a street lamp.
After School Tuition Centres (5-16 years)
Supplementary Education Centres
provide an opportunity for After School tuition and are important in
helping to continue the good work once the school day is over. Local
teachers, keen to improve facilities for children in their local
community, work additional hours to provide the necessary support.
As well as giving a
chance to learn through constructive fun and games, they will
provide a nutritional supplement for the children, and a focus for
homework clubs.
Society for Poor People's Development (SPPD)
SPPD is a leading registered community developmental organisation,
established in 1995.
Working in some
deprived parts of Tiruchirapalli District, South India, their
primary focus is on economic development and social awareness for
women and educational assistance for the children.
Currently The Joe
Homan Charity is assisting SPPD with twenty
Supplementary Education Centres
in rural villages.
A
donation of any size will help improve the opportunities available
for After School Tuition – ongoing help by regular donation will
help replenish teaching and hobby materials. |
