The ECC Campaign took off on a promising note this year. 24 Children from 6 Construction sites in Shivajinagar were Enrolled in PMC School No.66 at University Circle on Saturday, 15th of June, by Cognizant-Outreach Volunteer Group. One child was enrolled by parent at PMC School No.47B behind College of Agri Banking. This is a good beginning!
The sites had been surveyed by Volunteers from "Cognizant-Outreach" in May, and over the last couple of weeks, parents, site supervisors, and school authorities were contacted for discussions and planning the Admissions.
Though it was a very rainy day, many volunteers joined the effort, some of them even ferried children and parents to the school in their own vehicles. It is indeed heartening to see such enthusiasm and dedication from each and every person who were part of the event Thank you all for the great work!
School authorities were very co-operative and had remained in school beyond the official working hours to complete the process.
Parents are concerned about the next step... how to ensure that children can reach the schools daily! We have to work closely with the school and parents over next couple of weeks to support them in making arrangements for transport.
The work has just begun... 45 more schools and 1300 more children to reach...!
