TEACH INDIA - Let's learn to teach




Hi All,

TEACH INDIA is a nation building initiative from TOI that brings together children in need of education and people who can contribute a little time towards teaching them.


I liked their principle for this initiative. Principle says , "If you have the desire to teach, we will put you in touch with underprivileged children who are willing to learn".



Few days back, I registered myself for volunteer ship and amazed by looking at the responses to this initiative. The weekend batches were already allocated to the volunteers. There was only option for week-days batch. I have registered for Fridays batch but still I am waiting for acknowledgement from TOI. I always wanted to give something back to the society and I feel "TEACH INDIA" is the best opportunity for that.


There are lots of celebrities are also joining TEACH INDIA, few days back AMIR KHAN joined the team as an AMBASSADOR. According to Rahul Kansal, brand director, Times Group, Aamir was selected for his strong sense of ethics for a social cause. “He stands out as credible and honest,” says Priya Gupta, assistant vice-president, brand, The Times of India. The role that Aamir essayed in his last movie, Taare Zameen Par, teaching a dyslexic child and helping mentally challenged children, also went in his favor.
