Pursue Higher Education – Bicycles to college

Pursue Higher Education – Bicycles to college

Motivation of tribal kids to continue further studies drastically went down post pandemic. The families were anyway reluctant for getting girls continue studies beyond 10th or 12th. In village Janathepada, we spoke to some of the girls about their plans. Some of these girls did not have any motivation or reason to continue further studies, while some were open to study, but their parents were not supportive and not willing to spend money towards fees, books etc. Based on this inputs, we convinced girls to take up further education and also convinced parents of some of the girls to assure them that further studies would not change anything in their life – and also Suhrid Foundation would help their girls with their fees and books etc. With this, 6-7 girls from Janathepada got ready to start their bachelors degree again. We also provided them with bicycles to motivate them to go together to college.

We were privileged to have Mr Latesh Shah (Founder Chairman World Human Development Center – WHDC) with us during the visit. He spent lot of time with the kids at Kaspada and Guravpada. Latesh Sir – a renowned motivational speaker – mesmerized his young audience by talking with them in their own language and making them completely open up.

Kalampada – New School Inclusion

Kalampada – New School Inclusion

This was our first visit to Kalampada with purpose of inclusion in the Suhrid Foundation supported school. In the visit, we met with teachers, reviewed school and its status and identify possible work we may have to carry out in this school. Kalampada is a very small village in the north east of Vikramgadh with a population of around 300. Though there is support to the village/school from some other organization, the infrastructure is not upto the mark. The kitchen is non-functional. Bore-well was non-functional. Since the main teacher in this school had worked at Talyachapada, which is a part of Suhrid foundation supported schools, it would be possible for us to make desired changes in the school.
