The children of GPS Asifnagar school in Hyderabad noticed that many adults in their community were illiterate and faced difficulties in places like banks and post offices. They organized an adult education program where five students taught basic literacy skills like reading, writing, and identifying bus routes to adults in the community hall. The adults learned quickly and enjoyed learning from the children. Within a few days, some adults had learned to read and write their own names, gaining more independence. The children shared the success of their program with others in their school and community.

Feel: The children of GPS Asifnagar (U/M) felt illiteracy in the adults. They saw
the difficulties in adult when they went to Banks, Post offices, Tahsildar office, even
though the adults in the Asifnagar school area didn’t read buses stages name. They are
like blind, so they can’t read and write the name.
Imagine: The children of the GPS Asifnagar thought to bring up to adults at least
read and write the news papers and identify the names of the buses and its stages.
They want to become a change in the adults. They were planed how to bring to adults at
basic level.
Do: The children identified to the illiterate adults. Assemble them a particular
place in the community hall of the Asifnagar. The five children teach them the letters
as per their plan. The adults learnt very well as much as possible. In the moment of
adult learning children sang motivation rhymes. Even though within even days there was
created an environment of adults learning without shyness. In moment some adults
learnt their names. They can read and write their names. Now the possession of the
adults is they are independent.
