15th August- A visit on Independence Day with a purpose

On Independence Day Sagar, Salil, Maitree,Mohit, Dhiren and many other volunteers visited JSS to administer a test for the children.

The test aimed at assessing the basic capabilities of the children in written and spoken English and certain areas of Mathematics. The assessment was to be made using some pre-defined parameters on which their performance was evaluated. For English, children were tested on parameters such as comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, with focus on algebra, arithmetic and geometry in case of Mathematics. The test was administered for nearly an hour and half.

Besides the test some of the volunteers interacted with the children on the importance of Independence Day. They sang patriotic and devotional songs, and we had a fun session interacting with everyone.

On the whole, it was a few hours spent well on the occasion of I-Day!
