A Good Teacher understands the pains of a student. This is about the students of Govt Aided Middle School in Thonithurai, where the Children come from Marathoor, Thonithurai, Nochikulam and Kansapuram. The parents of all the children in this school are either subsistence farmers or daily wagers. With the onslaught of Corona the families could barely feed their children. The Headmaster and the teachers of the school who came to know about this did not waste a single moment to help their students. Fortunately, I too was roped in to help. Together as a team we were able to collect and provide food supplies worth Rs.500 each for 40 families with a focus on students of single mothers. Each family was met, inquired on how they were doing, advised on precautions to taken during Corona and instructed about the virtual class sessions on whatsapp. The unexpected parents were too overwhelmed with the help to find words to describe their gratitude. Teachers who love teaching never allow their students to go hungry.
Dear friends who read this, I have a humble request- when I visited the school, I found the toilet broken-down, ruined and should be renovated for use. If you have a small thought to do some good for children, just communicate and as a team we could make things right. Remember Corona or obstacles in Right to Education for every child can only be fought by people like you and me. I know you too have a heart.
We are willing to shoulder responsibility with other school teachers to help their children through the tough times of Corona. Kindly contact us if you need help.
