They have lived in Bangalore for the last 5 years. They collect waste and segregate it. There is no Anganwadi (Government run Preschool) close by. Nazmeen’s parents were very happy that she could join school. Unfortunately Nazmeen didn’t like coming to school and was very irregular. We met her parents several times, explaining to them the importance of coming regularly. Once Nazmeen started coming regularly, she developed a bond with both the teachers. She started showing interest in learning the different activities being presented. She is a quick learner. She has learnt all the alphabets in English and Kannada, and numbers from 1 to 20. We are looking forward to teaching her three letter words and then sentence formation. The combination of her helping tendency and her confidence to do the activities can be seen in the way she helps her friends!
