Rupali loves dancing to rhymes
Three and a half year old Rupali Rere lives with her brother, parents and grandparents in a remote tribal hamlet on the outskirt of Aseema’s Education Centre in Igatpuri. Somnath, Rupali’s father an auto-rickshaw driver barely makes Rs. 3500 a month. Lack of educational facilities and a desire for a better life for his children through education, motivated Somnath to enroll his children at the Aseema Bal Shaikshanik Kendra in Awalkheda.
Rupali a cheerful and bright girl loves coming to school. Her enthusiasm for learning is remarkable. She constantly asks her teachers for new and challenging activities. A second year student in Prithvi – Aseema’s Pre-Primary class, Rupali can count numbers up to 20 and identify primary colours. She enjoys working with number rods in Mathematics.
She knows vowels in Marathi, which is the medium of instruction at school. Rupali loves dancing to nursery rhymes. She has also been introduced to English rhymes. Festival celebrations are Rupali’s favourite fun activities. She looks forward to painting ‘diyas’, earthern bowls for Diwali.
Thank you for sending Rupali to school for an entire year.
