SEAL Centre in Focus

A B Goregaokar English School

As a part of teachers’ training for SEAL, the English

teachers at AB Goregaokar English School started taking

a SEAL class once a month. The idea is to empower the

teachers with the best pedagogical practices required

to conduct full-fledged SEAL classes going forward. Our

SEAL Teacher Kalpesh is sharing his lesson plans with

them for the time being.

Empower Youth Centre in Focus

Computer Program, Bandra

One of our students at the Bandra centre, Rahul

Mishra, has successfully landed a part-time job at a

law firm in Dadar as a Business Executive, drawing a

salary of INR 7,000 per month while simultaneously

working towards his B.Com degree at Chetana

College. Rahul, the son of an auto-rickshaw driver

and a resident of Dnyaneshwar Nagar, Bandra East

was a part of the STeP Program (Smile Twin e-

learning Program), and was looking for a part-time

job. He was sent by us for the interview at the law

firm, for which he underwent rigorous training. The

position requires an understanding of computers,

good typing speed and knowledge of conversational

English.

Jumble Sale

In order to provide the students with practical

experience in Retail Marketing, a jumble sale was

organized and managed independently by the

students of the Bandra centre (BECC). Clothes were

donated by the staff and their friends and families

for the sale. The involvement of the neighborhood

community made the sale a great success. The sale

proceeds that amounted to Rs. 24,155/- were

donated for the treatment of a boy suffering from

TB.

Kahani Tree Story Bag

The children of our SEAL centre at ZP Sillod were in for a

big surprise when one of our team mates, Tanya Bharda

gifted them the Kahani Tree story bag which consists of

150 Marathi and English story books. Sillod is a village 60

km from Aurangabad.
