Inequality in Indian Education
The following is an extract from the UNICEF website. “India has many accomplishments to celebrate in education. (…) However, out of 100 students, 29 per cent of girls and boys drop out of school before completing the full cycle of elementary education, and often they are the most marginalized children.”
The Path to Hope
After some of us travelling for 13 and a half hours whilst others travelling for 21 and a half hours we finally made it to ‘Agun Ki’ (….) As part of EWB Malaysia we teamed up with Naruda to help expand this loving home due to the large number of orphans in the area. During this post I want to focus more on what I learnt from the locals because to this day it is one of the most life changing experiences I have ever come across.
“You are lame, you are crippled…”
(…) There is no need of education for you. What will you do after you have studied? Better to stay at home and look after cows and buffalos. Help the family in chores and farming.” These are the words spoken to Lila Nath Pahadi when he was 6 six years old
Children of Agun Ki Study during Lockdown
NARUDA is one of our partners in Nagaland and the Director and his wife look after nine abandoned children in their family home. It is called Agun Ki, the House of Hope, which Global Support Link helped to expand in 2018, with the support of volunteers from Nottingham University.
