The Hindu
In spite of transformed routines, online classes, and the uncertainty of assessment systems and when they will actually step into school again, these under-18s are helping a COVID-19 struck world
When school went online last year, Rohan George, from Woodstock School, Mussoorie, would experience a little tech trouble once in a while. “Even though I had all these good systems in place, I still had days when my Wi-Fi was bad and I couldn’t see my classmates. I wondered how children in villages were managing,” says the class X student. He decided to help raise ₹50,000 for a few and set up a fund-raiser on Milaap.org. Rohan had been advised by Raj Kumar, who runs one of Landour Community Hospital’s projects, on which villages and schools he could help. Elite Scholars Home and Dhana Inter College serving Rautu ki Beli, Airi, and Mathamali, in Uttarakhand, were selected.More Related News
