The Wind Beneath Our Wings
The communities we interact with are so diverse. And yet, we have a lot in common as parents, caregivers, and educators. We share joys and disappointments, hope and a vision for a better future for our children. As we watch them evolve, our eagerness for new ideas and skills leads to questions about how we can best support them.
Do we want our children to acquire language skills of comprehension and fluency or excel in math or physics? Or do we go beyond text books and help them to connect with the world around them? Help them imbibe life skills, help them grow in all directions…to be able to appreciate beauty around them, be concerned friends, good citizens, caring individuals with a love for knowledge?
Our Wings program – after school support – was conceptualised with the idea of providing differentiated instruction to meet differnt learning styles and ability levels. Additionally, there is an emphasis on mentoring to help children gain confidence, make right choices and become responsible citizens. Some areas we provide support include the following:
Today we take pride in the well-rounded success of our ex rag picking children, who with just 3 years of education & after school support are a teacher’s delight - topping their class with A+ grades in all subjects, medals in athletics and have been appointed to leadership positions in school.
Thank you friends, for your magnanimity and generous support. Your faith in our endeavours has given us the confidence to revolutionise learning outcomes and has taken our Wings programme from 50 children to over 1250 who attend classes at 8 centres across Dehradun.
