Projects 2016 - 2017

Education: Teacher's trainings for schools in Benson Town were directed by Shanthala. Four teacher's training meetings were held during the past academic year at Ayyappan school, and two of these were with the Hope foundation. By conducting combined training meetings, school teachers in the surrounding neighborhood are able to form a sustainable community.

Bridgei2i joins Leora Trust to strengthen numeracy in UKG and LKG. Monthly sessions with Bridgei2i at the Sri Ayyappan School were successful in promoting activity-based learning within the current curriculums. One highlight of this partnership was an organized visit to Bannerghata Zoo.
