Pooja is all smiles

Pooja
Dear Jay, Amrik, Harbir, Sarmila, Lucas, Bhushan, Biby, Vineeta, Manu, Siva, Sharmeela, Jennifer, Pria, Supriya, and Pranay,

Thank you for ensuring that 35 children like Pooja are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program for a year.
Pooja is 10 years old and is enrolled at Sarai Peepal Khala Government School, an all girls’ school in New Delhi. She attends the Library Program, which is conducted as a part of the Read India program by Pratham. The Library program is held daily for 45 minutes, and during the time, the girls are encouraged to not only read stories, but also enact them with the help of puppets that they make. The Library Program not only helps develop a love for reading, it teachers the girls to critically analyse what they are taught in school.
Your donations will ensure that 35 children like Pooja are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program where they are provided need-based instruction in reading, writing and basic arithmetic to bring them to the literacy levels expected of children their age.
Thank you, for doing your bit to ensure that ‘every child in India is in school and learning well‘.
