We’ve noticed a significant improvement in her since she joined Diya Ghar. She used to cry when her mother dropped her off at school, and she wanted her mother to stay with her in class. She used to start crying again as soon as her mother left. Even after offering her bananas and a nutrition bar, the teachers couldn’t get her to stop. She became more comfortable with the classroom setting and the teachers once the teacher began spending extra time with her doing activities of her choice such as singing, dancing, colouring, and expressing motherly care for her. Athika no longer cries on her way to school. Van transportation is available for pick-up and drop-off. She is so eager to come to school that she will ask about Saturday classes. It’s wonderful to see the children of Diya Ghar transform.
