Spoken English to class VII at Khajaguda

'I am 11 years old-u' spoke the girl quite sweetly, unaware of the vernacular influences playing behind her statement...and I was there, not a moment late, to say 'old-u kaadu old'.

Yep, I started my volunteering.....today, through Teach India's 'Project 511' initiative.
Teaching is not easy. What's more difficult is teaching 'Spoken English' to telugu medium students.

But what do I tell you ...the feeling of joy surging up in you looking at their response when you ask them 'English kaavala?' - nothing can beat the belief that you can make a difference.

Hope I stick to this one like fevistick........
