We had a wonderful volunteer who came all the way from Sweden. He volunteered at our Tigri School almost a month. He taught English and Mathematic to 3rd and 4th grade students. It was really inspiring to see that without speaking Hindi, he was able to teach. Students were able learn their subject and understand the foreign accent as well. When someone cares language gaps are no barrier! Students were very glad to have him around. They also learnt a lot about Vincent’s place, language, favourite things etc.. . So this gave them a way to learn about the world as well. We deeply appreciate Vincent’s willingness to come and serve our students.

The education centre at Tigri, Sangam Vihar, celebrated Christmas on 24th of December 2009. It was a very exciting time for the teachers and students of the school. They decorated the Christmas tree together. A good number of volunteers joined in the celebrations. The students sang Christmas carols and enjoyed the snacks brought by the volunteers. They were also happy and grateful to receive gifts from the volunteers. This event also opened up an opportunity for the students to interact with the volunteers. We want to thank all our friends who joined us to make that day special and for all who contributed towards the gifts, snacks, and also who gave their time and love for the students.
