Background
In rural areas, early childhood care and education job is done by local childcare centers called (Anganwadi). Our aim is to support these local child care center is to give them right and good education. The word Anganwadi means “courtyard shelter” in Indian languages. A typical Anganwadi center also provides basic health care in Indian villages. It is a part of the Indian public health-care system. Basic health-care activities include contraceptive counseling and supply, nutrition education and supplementation, as well as Pre school activities.Volunteers will work with local child care centers, having 10 to 15 small children, having age 3 to 5 years . We provide all teaching and helping materials to our volunteers.
Volunteer Role
With the help of our volunteers, we try to help these child care centers to improve their standard about education and basic health care in villages . Volunteers will help local teachers to teach basic Grammar, rihms, poems, alphabets, counting, writing, fruits names, body part names and also provide health knowledge like, wash hands before eating. Volunteers support the day to day running of these placement and may be involved in , creating and education activities , arts and crafts sessions, organising group games , songs and sports , running one-to-one lessons with the older children , assisting the day care staff with meal times .
Why Volunteers are needed
The nurseries and child care centres have limited staff and resources so volunteers are able to help support the local staff and provide focused educational assistance to the children . Volunteers work act as positive role models for the children, inspiring a passion to learn and developing creative thinking. The interaction with volunteers will naturally improve the children's English but will also improve the children's confidence and small group work helps to increase their self-esteem.
