Story
Dream India volunteer, Chris, has been conducting study sessions to a group of children belonging to BBMP workers, in Babausapalya, Bangalore. He has been conducting classes sine 2019 and this year, we want to admit some of the children in a good private school so they can explore their full potential.
These children have been attending Chris' sessions without fail for 4 years and unfortunately, their enthusiasm to learn and their skills have been very underutilised in the government school they go to. We have identified a very good affordable private school in the same area. The principal is warm, the teachers are more than happy to support our kids and ensure they come up to speed quickly...in fact one of the teachers in this school taught the kids in their current government school a few months back and promises to take care of them in the new school.
We have secured admission for 7 kids, and funding for 5 kids for this year. We need money to admit the remaining 2 children (INR 1L) and to pay for their annual transport fee (INR 1.5L for all children combined for the entire year).
Please help us by participating in this raffle. Our talented volunteer, Chris, has painted this beautiful picture of children returning from school, and one lucky winner (by draw), will receive this painting framed through post (within India only). All donations above INR 1000 are eligible for this raffle. (For eg. If you donate, 5K, you will have 5 entries for the raffle).
Please spread the word and support these kids. We are confident they will turn out to be beautiful, well educated, and highly employable adults who can help their families find a way out of their poverty trap. Thank you!
PS: In the beautiful case, we exceed the requisite amount, we will use the money for next year's fee for them or for their extra curricular activities for this year itself. :)

Where were we? oh we decided to look for good private school options in the neighbourhood. Its a good thing Chris likes to walk, he put on his walking shoes and started scouting the neighbourhood and after leaving out the very expensive looking, very run down looking ones, he identified one in the mid range and then setup an appointment with the head master.
We both met the person in his cabin and he spoke sooo much about his family and how they are into so many businesses and how by change he decided to start a school (not inspiring at all so far). Some excerpts below:
About discipline in school? Oh the teachers have to use strong means at times, we cant help it. It is for the good of the kids.
School vision: 100%pass mark every batch in 10th. That is most important. We dont care much about other things.
Extra curriculars - We have some clubs. Kids can participat. Some kids were not able to afford uniforms for karate class, so they study during that session.
Extra support for our kids, as they dont know English much: Teachers will try best to teach, else after school some 30 mins they can stay back. Beyond that, we cant ask them to stay back. End of year, we can do some special class for them.
But till end of year how will kids manage? if enough parents come and complain, we can do some special class during mid term, but kids have to skip extra curricular classes.
We left the school happy. Happy not cos it was a good school but happy that we were able to make a quick decision. That we wont put our kids here. It didn't feel like the kids will have a good schooling experience here. Not to mention the philisophy of the school towards the concept of education seemed all skewed.
So we left in the hope of finding a better school before the holidays were over. Meanwhile, the kids were waiting with bated breath if they will get to go to a nice school. More on that, in my next update :)
