ESTABLISHING TRUST BETWEEN ASTITVA AND PARENTS

On 30st august 2018 at 3 pm parents as well as , teachers, students ,were invited to Astitva learning center for the parents to understand and know what actually happens in center and to establish a trust between center and parents . Students were demonstrating the work they have completed and gained additional knowledge in the past one month. During the exhibition, Grade 5th participated in being a part of dance, poetry, origami, embroidery club, the fifth graders read many books in groups and, made and presented posters to their parents. They shared the story plots and highlights of each story and wrote taglines to advertise their story ,too . Grade 6th was involved in photography club , music club. Grade 7th participated in various clubs such as MUN club ,drawing clubs. Grade 8th was eager to join each and every club as there were plenty of clubs.

The efforts of students made teachers and parents feel that these kids have achieved and gained some skills throughout the exhibition .Astitva learning center had even spread a power for us to shape our future lives. So, as follows as we have collected a number of interviews about how the exhibition was as per their point of view :

Akash, a student of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj English Medium School studying in 6th grade, has developed his dance skills and confidence to overcome the challenges that he faced. Also he said that he can observe a tremendous change in his behavior and

studying skills.

Rahul Bhaiya, a TFI fellow teaching 5th grade in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj English Medium School , saw all the children showing tremendous values like ownership, leadership, etc .

Archana didi, a parent, felt very glad to be a part of Astitva’s Exhibition Day. She played an important role in giving feedback to children and even provided us with some strong feedback. Her suggestions were as follows :

1. Children should speak fluently , clearly , and confidently ,and they should not stammer while speaking

2. Students should take ownership about leading their respective clubs.
