Following her brother’s footsteps

Aanchal
Four year old Aanchal attends the Pratham Balwadi program with her brother, Ritesh. Unlike her talkative brother, Anchal is shy and quiet.

For the past year, Aanchal and her brother have been part of the Pratham Balwadi program which helps preschool children develop good school habits. The Balwadi provides a safe and fun learning environment for the children to learn the importance of manners and working as a group. A volunteer supervisor trained by Pratham leads young children in memorizing poems, learning stories, and recognizing shapes, colors, and numbers.

Aanchal’s favorite activity at the Center is to recite poems and tell stories. Her teacher tells us that she is a sweet and gentle child who loves participating in class activities and engaging with other children. Aanchal wants to be a teacher when she grows up.

A big thank you to all for your generosity and support!!
