Review for Bhumi, Chennai, , India
I'm a 4 month old volunteer at Bhumi ,I teach English every Friday , at one of our centers . The best part about being with Bhumi is the professionalism they maintain , everything is taken care of so perfectly . If under unavoidable circumstances our volunteers are not able to make it , then we can always be sure we have a substitute , Id like to narrate one particular story about a girl called Karuthamma . When I went for my first class , Karuthamma was in my class, she was a bit of concern for all of us volunteers , always lost in her own dream world , we had a tough time asking her to listen , she would sometimes walk out of the class, laugh for no reason , and the other kids would also tease her . But that was four months ago , I was patient with her , I called her into group discussions , made the kids work with chart paper after every session , asked them to work in pairs , and 2 weeks ago when we were in class, she kept asking me to ask her questions , what was surprising was that all her answers were perfect and even more surprisingly as soon as I reached the place she ran to me and quoted something from the previous class.. It was an amazing transition . Im also very proud to say , Ive trained my kids to use the golden words " PLEASE ,THANKYOU , SORRY " and they actually practice . Bhumi has become my way of life now , I have so much fun thinking up for the lesson ahead . Just once I had to miss class because of an exam in college , that whole week I felt empty . Besides our visits to the center , are a way of bringing the outside world to these children. I'm so happy and contented that I serve as medium for exposure for these unprivileged kids .... After all they deserve much much more
