I thought you might be interested to see the lengths that the staff at Vidiyal have been going to in order to keep the children occupied and learning during the lockdown. For most academic years the schools have not opened since the first wave, while, for other years, the schools have only been open sporadically. This is a list of the tasks set by Vidiyal the past week. The volunteers continue to do an amazing job in the communities as Jim still has no access.
Some of you will be receiving photos of your child participating.
