Pankhudi Foundation Blog

Just a general update on everything that’s happening behind (and front of) the scenes in Pankhudi Delhi. Things are moving forward, a little slowly but steadily.

1. Health Camp: We’re planning to hold a general medical check up for our kids sometime over the next 3 weeks. We need a doctor, medicines and to create health cards for each kid.

2. English teacher: Aasmeen will be going on leave to study for her board exams soon, and we think someone experienced would show better results for our kids. Finding someone who can come to the slum for approx 2 hours everyday to teach the kids is proving to be a bit problematic. We’re presently looking at other NGOs and colleges to get leads.

3. Maths Content – We’re trying to evaluate the kids and make sure they are in the right groups plus set up a regular content cycle and evaluation process.

4. Volunteer trip – We’re trying to plan a trip to Amritsar for all the volunteers soon

5. Shelter – The shelter is up but it will need some patching up soon plus we need to make it feel like more of a classroom.

6. Pankhudi photo gallery – Krishan has taken the responsibility of constantly updating the gallery

7. Kids’ Schools – Some of our kids might benefit from switching to private school. We need to study their current schools and see what we can do to improve their education.
