Going to School on Wheels

Haider goes to school in his wheelchair. Every morning, Haider's friends arrive at his house 30 minutes before school begins. Deciding who gets to push Haider today, they tip the wheelchair back onto its two big black wheels and are away. Haider lives one kilometre away from Raspunja Free Primary School. One kilometre was a long way for Haider without wheels. In fact, one kilometre was so far that Haider didn't go to school until he was given a wheelchair. Now he wheels wherever the boys take him, and they take him everywhere

Nai Disha (plz refer to the link above)

Nai Disha's primary objective is to provide free education to children whose families cannot afford to send them to school - and to have them inculcated into mainstream schools after class 5. In this regard, we are continually striving to improve the quality of students. And provide financial sponsored students who pursue further studies.

Arranging for computer classes is a step in this direction - since it has been found that other schools expect this expertise from students while enrolling them in class 6.

However, not all students end up pursuing education when they leave school. This is a problem we are constantly trying to address. One idea has been to introduce some sort of vocational training - like plumbing, which is highly in demand and pays well.

One such step already in place is to hold sewing classes.

An important thing is to keep reminding us that these are children - and honestly, all they want to do is play. Extracurricular activities include holding dancing classes, arranging plays and the like.
