In the class at Sugar factory, Sonali Bhatane and Suvarna Bhatane of grade 7 attend the classes. Suvarna is attending since the last 3 years while Sonali has joined this year. They are neighbors. They study in class as well as at home.
However, this year, due to Covid19, without much teaching material but with the help of board games, floor games, language activities, also with the use of leaves, flowers, sticks, students were given training on mulakshar (marathi alphabet), words, and maths concepts.
Suvarna and Sonali are taking the effort to teach their siblings and other kids.
In most households there are buffaloes and oxen, hence for most kids, daily work includes making cowdung cakes.
Suvarna and Sonali came up with the idea of teaching letters by writing on cowdung cakes. They trained other kids on the alphabet and words and also took their reading exercise using cow dung cakes. They also took the puzzle game of joining letters to create words.
This shows that if a child has an urge for education, even in unfavorable conditions, he/she continue learning.
