My project is a simple tuition program for village children in Bihar who cannot clear entrance exams of free schools and NGOs. We run four evening learning centres (up from two before the fellowship) where 20–30 children per centre come after their work in the fields. Local coordinators teach basic Hindi, English, math and life skills through games, stories and play, because rote learning never worked with them. We hold monthly fun quizzes and give small prizes (pencils, copies, chocolates) to keep them excited. The biggest fight is retention: many parents still need their children’s hands in the fields more than books. So we started gentle parent meetings, shared success stories and sometimes just listened. Priyanshu brought new donors and in-kind help, Anuj keeps everything running on the ground, and together we are slowly turning “padhai ka kya fayda?” into “kal se bhejenge.” It’s small, dusty, and imperfect, but every child who learns to write their name makes it feel huge.
