street plays on hygiene & better living

There are evenings that make you grateful for everything that you have, everything you can do and everything you were able to do today.
This evening was one of the best.

We're grateful to be alive, grateful to be able to work with likeminded folks and even more grateful to be able to help the number of people we do today.

It's the little things that make this ride worthwhile.

The first of our monthly career option discussions. 

Thank you Mr. Jagadeesh Kanna for getting us started with so much fun - helping our children dream of getting their own wings, making them believe they can fly.

the athi-sundar library project

11/5/2022

0 Comments

 
If anyone called out "Sundar!" (his name means beautiful in Hindi), he'd always reply
- "Athi-Sundar", which essentially meant 'beyond beautiful.'

In dedication to him, and what he started as a little girl's love for books, giving me my first books saying "this is for your library", the Athi-Sundar Library Project is dedicated to my dad. It's been over 4 years since he's been gone, but his memory keeps me striving to do more - and I know he'd be proud of where The Ashoka Tree is today and the projects we have. This particular project is something that means much more than people will ever know.

What began as a single book from my #Dad is now a whole community #library being built everywhere, across the country. The “Athi-Sundar Library” Project is something that’s always going to be special for all of us here at #TheAshokaTree - because we know that the first page is an entry to a whole new world, where great things can happen both in your mind and in the real world. Sweet dreams are made of these. Thank you to everyone who’s helped make this a reality. A first in the beginning of many. #earlychildhoodeducation #reading #bettertogether #tomorrow

So much to be worried about, and yet - so much to smile about too!

​Let’s look at the brighter side of life - count our blessings - learn to be grateful for every extra day, every extra person we meet, every extra smile.

May this 
#holi bring you joy and happiness in abundance & the goodwill to be kinder to everyone you meet today & every day moving on.

back to school - and staying in school

14/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Getting children back to school (at a time when children in India below 15 remain unvaccinated) is one thing - helping them stay there is quite another. 
​

Attention spans are low, and parental anxiety (not to mention children’s) at an all-time high.
Get in touch with us if you’d like to #volunteer helping #children stay interested in learning.
 

It’s just an hour a week to educate another. #EarlyChildhoodEducation #NGO#VolunteerIndia #orissa #maharashtra #kerala #TamilNadu #Karnataka

It’s #WomensDay #everyday.

But, on special days that talk of those among us who inspire,  today’s the day we recognise
“J. Chitra” who works tirelessly with her community,
whether it’s ensuring the 
#narikuravar children get to school with a new bus route or ensuring they stay in school - she keeps us believing in better.

May we all strive to be women who inspire - women who hold each other up in the highest regard - women who dare to be who we’re meant to be.

Our first mid-day meal at pre-schools ( nearly 2 years after they were shut because of the #pandemic).

May the joy of building human relationships and the fun of learning continue to grow as we head back to 
#normal this year!
