A DFC 2012 PROJECT BY ANANDO
POONAM
                                              AMRITA
  All of us live in
the same locality
  and have been
friends for a long
   time. So we        AMISHA
 decided to work
 together for this
    year’s DFC
      project             POOJA
                                  SARASWATI
Our mothers
are very dear
to us and we
wanted to do
something for
    them
While we all go
 to school many
 of our mothers
are not literate.
 Whenever they
  have to sign a
     letter or
 document they
give their thumb
   impressions
We wanted to
change that …we
 wanted them to
  be able to say
confidently that
 they could sign!

 And we could
  teach them
  ourselves!
We visited the
houses in our
locality and
talked to our
mothers, aunts,
grannies and
neighbors to
learn of their
views
We asked them
about when
they had spare
time and how
often they
could get
together.
10 ladies
showed an
interest in our
venture!
With the help of
 our mentor we
 drafted a letter
    and took
  permission to
   use the local
community room

We could now
meet here every
   Sunday
  afternoon.
It was now time
to get ready for
  our teaching
   experience!

   We collected
   paper, pens,
slates , chalk and
dusters …making
 sure everything
  was clean and
  ready to use.
Before long our
  classes had
   started !

   Out of the 10
ladies, 4 came to
   learn. But we
      were not
disheartened…..
 it would help us
    teach more
   effectively we
        felt.
We held our
classes for 1 hour
  every Sunday
   afternoon.

  In between we
encouraged them
      to keep
 practicing. The
ladies could take
 the slates home
     to do so.
Those who were
  not teaching
   helped with
 organizing tea,
     alerting
 everyone when
the classes would
    start and
    generally
running errands.
One of the
    mothers
already knew
 how to sign
  her name .
    But she
 wanted help
to perfect the
  letters and
 improve the
    way she
    wrote.
Another wanted
 to learn at home
   as she felt shy
about coming to
  the community
centre, which is a
   public place.
    So one of us
   taught her at
       home.
Soon
everyone was
writing their
    names
 confidently !
And then they
 were writing
with pens as well
 as with chalk.

     We were
 surprised to see
that it was more
 difficult for the
ladies to write in
   pen than in
      chalk.
SUCCESS!
We wanted to
 give something
 to the ladies to
reward them for
their efforts and
   help them
 remember this
   experience.

 So we made
picture frames
 and inserted
   their own
photographs in
     them.
On the last day we
 had a party! We
held it at Amisha ‘s
house and all of us
   played hosts.

 Amisha thanked
everyone and then
 we presented the
   gifts to our
    students.
All the ladies spoke
of their childhood
experiences with
education and why
they never went to
school. There were
some interesting
stories there!

They also said that
they would now be
proud to ask for a
pen every time they
had to sign rather
than extend their
thumbs.
We were a bit scared at
first as we thought that
the ladies would not listen
to us and we would get
scolded at every turn! But
it turned out just the
opposite……



It did not matter that
only 4 came. We were
able to teach them
better.



The last day when
everyone was so happy                               BAHUT BAHUT
gave us a warm glow                                 BAHUT MAZA
inside. It was the best       They can hold their   AYA!
day!                          heads high now!
All the ladies
               want to learn
               more !




We are planning to set
up more classes and
teach them basic
numbers and reading
skills in the coming
months

IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN

  • 1. A DFC 2012 PROJECT BY ANANDO
  • 2. POONAM AMRITA All of us live in the same locality and have been friends for a long time. So we AMISHA decided to work together for this year’s DFC project POOJA SARASWATI
  • 3. Our mothers are very dear to us and we wanted to do something for them
  • 4. While we all go to school many of our mothers are not literate. Whenever they have to sign a letter or document they give their thumb impressions
  • 5. We wanted to change that …we wanted them to be able to say confidently that they could sign! And we could teach them ourselves!
  • 6. We visited the houses in our locality and talked to our mothers, aunts, grannies and neighbors to learn of their views
  • 7. We asked them about when they had spare time and how often they could get together. 10 ladies showed an interest in our venture!
  • 8. With the help of our mentor we drafted a letter and took permission to use the local community room We could now meet here every Sunday afternoon.
  • 9. It was now time to get ready for our teaching experience! We collected paper, pens, slates , chalk and dusters …making sure everything was clean and ready to use.
  • 10. Before long our classes had started ! Out of the 10 ladies, 4 came to learn. But we were not disheartened….. it would help us teach more effectively we felt.
  • 11. We held our classes for 1 hour every Sunday afternoon. In between we encouraged them to keep practicing. The ladies could take the slates home to do so.
  • 12. Those who were not teaching helped with organizing tea, alerting everyone when the classes would start and generally running errands.
  • 13. One of the mothers already knew how to sign her name . But she wanted help to perfect the letters and improve the way she wrote.
  • 14. Another wanted to learn at home as she felt shy about coming to the community centre, which is a public place. So one of us taught her at home.
  • 15. Soon everyone was writing their names confidently !
  • 16. And then they were writing with pens as well as with chalk. We were surprised to see that it was more difficult for the ladies to write in pen than in chalk.
  • 18. We wanted to give something to the ladies to reward them for their efforts and help them remember this experience. So we made picture frames and inserted their own photographs in them.
  • 19. On the last day we had a party! We held it at Amisha ‘s house and all of us played hosts. Amisha thanked everyone and then we presented the gifts to our students.
  • 20. All the ladies spoke of their childhood experiences with education and why they never went to school. There were some interesting stories there! They also said that they would now be proud to ask for a pen every time they had to sign rather than extend their thumbs.
  • 21. We were a bit scared at first as we thought that the ladies would not listen to us and we would get scolded at every turn! But it turned out just the opposite…… It did not matter that only 4 came. We were able to teach them better. The last day when everyone was so happy BAHUT BAHUT gave us a warm glow BAHUT MAZA inside. It was the best They can hold their AYA! day! heads high now!
  • 22. All the ladies want to learn more ! We are planning to set up more classes and teach them basic numbers and reading skills in the coming months
