ANANYA TRUST


residence

Survey No. 27/2, Devi Farm, Chikabellandur village, Karmelaram Post, Varthur Hobli. Bangalore



actions)

ANANYA Trust was started in March 1998, by a group of

individuals concerned about the dearth of schools that

provide relevant and meaningful education for the

underprivileged children in and around Bangalore city. Even

though the Indian constitution guarantees free and

compulsory education to all children up to the age of 14,

there are no schools that the poor can choose from.

Either the schools are very good, but expensive or therefore

beyond the reach of the underprivileged, or they are free but

have poor physical facilities and offer a standard curriculum

which is dull and boring. Most children, who drop out of

school, do so because the schools do not cater to their

special needs. Education in such critical context has no

meaning or relevance to these children. It does not provide

them with the required skills to overcome the social traumas

or the emotional and physical hardships they face every day.



Teaching English, and other activities like plays,

theatre, drawing, Painting, Games etc.

The volunteer should have a willingness to teach

children and work towards the overall development

of poor children between the ages of 8 – 18.
