Ophelia Lee, along with her school friends, held a birthday party with a difference to support R2T. Following a visit, with her parents, to see our operations in India, Ophelia recreated one of our classrooms. She used some Gujarati teaching resources and of course wore a salwar kemeez, in order to share our work with her peers. Thanks Ophelia.
A warm welcome to our 8 new teacher trainers who have joined the team in India and are helping to train our 140 tribal teachers. Their work will ensure that all of our teachers are receiving high quality teacher training, once a week, at the Tejgadh academy.
