Speak with Confidence’, spoken English program :
one of the key pillars in our vision to empower underprivileged kids is to create a certified program that will help them communicate in English. We believe this will give them the confidence and opportunities for better jobs. Our first pilot program was conducted for the entire Std IX batch at Anjuman Matriculation school, Chennai. Many of these kids come from a semi-urban background. We commenced the program in December 2021 and completed the first level in May. The kids received their certificates in a special program that was attended by Mrs Audrey Satur, former teacher at Don Bosco Egmore. We intend to journey with this group and add more schools to this program during academic year 2022-23.
