As part of our Trash4Ed program, we help pupils develop basic skills that teachers hardly focus on. Here's a picture of one of our sessions on how to use the dictionary to find meaning of words.

The Ahote Sanitation Project does not only ensure that waste is recycled, it also provides a dependable source of livelihood for about 50 elderly women and youth, both directly and indirectly.

We read the Bear and the Crabs, as our first story. In order to ensure that every student understood the story and could share it on their own, we got some of the students to read in English while others translated into the local language.

They have submitted their summaries of the story which they wrote in their own words. Here are some of their works. You could see the effort they put into it and yet how poor their grammar is. We hope to improve this within the shortest possible time.

Our Trash4Ed project has started, hurray!!!. In order to improve English speaking and writing in rural schools, mainly because they take their exams in English, we are recycling used papers from institutions to build the skills of reading and writing. Stories are printed on the unused pages of waste papers from institutions and given to these lovely and vibrant kids to read. They then go home and summarize the story in their own words and submit the following day as homework.
It's very inspiring how these kids are in love with this activity.
