Pankhudi’s Mumbai chapter is running slum teaching initiative “Protsahan” at Sumannagar slum in Kurla.

We are targetting to impart english, elementary maths and lifeskills to the slum children. The enrolled students for Protsahan classes are divided in 2 batches: junior batch and senior batch.

The junior batch consists of 35 students who are from class 1- class 5th. This is the main focus category of the children as per Pankuhdi’s goals of Primary education.

The senior batch consists of students from class 5th onwards (uptill 10th). We hold 6 days a week classes in sumanagar at the prmises of Lions Club. The classes timings are 6:30pm -8:30pm. Monday is kept off.

For the protsahan classes, we typically require 3 volunteers per class and we work on a planned weekly schedule. Thus the volunteer requirement is quite high.

The Content cell of Pankhudi Foundation plans to release its much awaited curriculum for the children in the month of June’08. We are looking forward for it.
