Be the Change You Want to See in Others

According to Pratham's ASER 2014 report, 
"over 75%  of children in Class III, over 50% in Class V and over 25% in Class VIII could not read texts meant for the Class II level.  At the all India level, the number of children in rural schools in Class II who could even recognise letters or the alphabets increased from 13.4% in 2010 to 32.5% in 2014. In the last year of the primary education in Class V, almost 20% of the children could only read letters, and are not literate even at this level; 14% could read words but not sentences; and 19% could read sentences but not longer texts."
Every new term, in schools that all of us who read this went to, meant new notebooks, new pencils and new crayons.  Every new term, at nearly every other school around the corner, does not mean new notebooks or pencils or crayons.
This can change, and you can be the change. At The Ashoka Tree, we hope to be the change we expect in everyone else.
A small contribution of basic art kits for pre-schoolers is all that it takes to make a change.
