Case Study of a School: City Montessori School, Lucknow, World's Largest School with 40,000 student volunteers, currently teaching at least one child or adult using Literacy NOW App
Komal is studying Education Policy on a grant from Harvard University's Graduate School of Education since the fall of 2021. Earlier too, for her undergraduate studies, Komal received 100% scholarship (including partial accommodation) at Denver University. Komal has entered her name in the India Book of Records for her leadership in service and made it to the Top 20 of 2020 Records. Her mother accredits her amazing accomplishments to her leadership work in Global Dream Campaign from Grade 9 onwards.
Ilika is another super talented individual studying Economics and Computer Science as a final year student at Mount Holyoke, a Liberal Arts College in Massachusetts. She began teaching with Global Dream in Grade 9. In 2021, Ilika wrote her Global Dream experience in the most prestigious IBECC: International Business Ethics Case Competition and won the Charity Essay Prize ($300) which she donated to DEVI Sansthan for Global Dream.
Prakriti is pursuing Chemistry at Cornell University since the fall of 2021 on almost 100% Tata Trust Scholarship. Prakriti's parents say this project has helped her gain real skills that are as powerful as the academic training she has received.
Currently in Grade 10, Gargi started to teach with Global Dream Toolkits when she was in Grade 4. She found her first learner, a 14-year-old Sanskriti, from a slum near her home. Gargi has taught 7 learners of 12 to 42 years of age till date. She says: “Global Dream has made me a better person and helped me to accomplish more in academics. Seeing the urge and curiosity of my learners, I learned nothing is difficult, and that hard work is important.”
Such an outcome is not possible without support and encouragement of the parents to take up Global Dream wholeheartedly. There is no better way to prepare children for life because there will be new challenges every day and some ups and downs. The children will learn to execute a project from its inception to completion without giving up. Cherish and uphold the virtues of honest engagement, teach your children the importance of service, and to complete a task begun. If they have not begun, please support them in doing so now. Giving someone the gift of literacy is the highest worship we can offer to Almighty God.
