We have discussed getting books for reading for our students with Ravi. He has not been able to find suitable books in the local area, but as he is now in Dehli this will be easier for him. We have agreed on a budget and are looking forwards to see what kind of books he finds.
We will take the opportunity to thank Ravi for his commitment and cooperation. He is a great teacher - even greater than we thought he would be. In the words of Friends in Khajuraho Assciation;
"The teacher, Ravi, is also enthusiastic. He really enjoys his job as a teacher; he takes it seriously (he always catches up on the classes he cannot take), and we feel he even fulfills himself at the job - something which takes us by surprise even though we are his family! Indeed, he shows creativity in his teaching methods and loves to take initiatives to respond to his students' needs and requests, which proves his capacity to listen to them and to take them seriously. And this is great!"
In his last report to us he says that the students are progressing well, but there are of course differences between them. One of the older girls is getting really good in reading and writing, and one of the boys (app.16 years old) has a great capacity for learning. He had almost no reading- and writing skills when the class started so there is still work ahead of him though. One of the boys in class dropped out of ordinary school really early. He is now about 14 years old and lookes after goats during the day. Ravi says he is really funny in class - but has a hard time concentrating and ends up doing his own thing if Ravi doesn't follow up on him and tell him to pay attention. But he always shows up - and we hope he'll learn to read and write properly in due time.
The literacy class starts up again in October - and we plan to expand the literacy class and hold more classes. The details of this is not set yet though.
