From Streets to Safety….

On Monday 2nd August Anita gave a presentation to St Mary church and Babbacombe Autumn Club. Her son Matthew helped with Anjuna and £110 was raised.

An average of 98 children visited the Shelter per day during the month of July. Around 9 children received non-formal education and 10 children received formal education during the morning session. While 96 school-going children received tuitions during the afternoon session. The children especially the Non-formal class children are doing well in their studies. The School children are busy preparing for their 1st term examination.

An average of 134 children attended the Shelter in the month of July. Educational help & regular tuitions for the formal and non-formal children were provided. Two new children have been benefiting from our night care Shelter during the month, they have been admitted in a Government School. Two new staff joined us this month, Reshma Ajgaonkar assisted us with the non-formal education and tuitions for the children while Vijesh worked with us as a trainee In-charge for a week.

Monsoon showers did not stop the children from playing outdoor games. It is always a sight to watch the children enjoying the rains.  We had to take precaution as well as part of the school roof was thrown open and water entered the building. A few more new students were enrolled this month. Staff was given new attractive badges for this year. We also have our local sarpanch’s daughter Miss Diksha being given tutorial classes by our teacher.
