I became involved with this organisation when I decided to volunteer there during my summer holidays. I quickly learned how inquisitive and motivated the kids there were and how the school is in dire need of donations due to the lack of governmental funding. At one point the teachers missed 3 months of their salary so that the school could continue to run. Whilst in a general school, many of these kids were depressed and stripped of there self-confidence as they were neglected by teachers who only gave attention to ‘good students.’ These kids were often labelled as problematic and excluded from lessons, this only worsened their attitude to learn. At Samveda, they recieve appropriate remedial inteevention and close attenion so they can work at age appropriate standards and graduate like their peers.
