Teach India inspires new project to teach English to poor kids

Good morning friends.  We all know that English is the international language which we must all know.  There will be a new project that will teach poor kids to talk in English.  

Imagine walking down a street and the young girl selling flowers round the corner

Rattling off names like a florist on Times Square. 

Imagine, there’s no kid who didn’t know English. That’s a world not too far away in Apnu Amdavad.

First, it was Teach India, a movement that began the empowerment of underprivileged children through education. Now, Times Foundation has partnered city-based NGO, Yuva Unstoppable, to reach English to every child across weaker sections of society.

English Unstoppable — an ambitious, three-month-long project to make underprivileged children read and write English — will be launched in Ahmedabad and Mumbai simultaneously on November 16, with a huge support from the corporate world. India Inc has agreed to send its employees to teach English at municipal schools in the two cities for two hours every week.

“The inspiration is Teach India. Now, we wish to take the initiative forward by focusing on teaching English. We have found a large number of kids dropping out as English suddenly becomes compulsory later in school. The motive is to reduce drop-out rate, build confidence and create a bigger English-speaking population to make India competitive in the long run. We will also impart basic literacy and values,” says Amitabh Shah, founder of Yuva Unstoppable, a partner NGO for Teach India.

As many as 10 corporate have pledged support to the cause in Ahmedabad, including HDFC Bank, HDFC Standard Life, Reliance Communication, Vodafone, Adani Wilmar, Vadilal, Motif, Troika, Evosys and Azure. In Mumbai, the project is supported by HDFC Bank and Nicholas Piramal and more are expected to join.

The campaign, which will go on till February 15, will target sixth and seventh graders in 40 municipal schools in Ahmedabad and many more in Mumbai. While the Ahmedabad Municipal School Board will provide the infrastructure, Calorx Foundation will develop content for the campaign. Calorx, also a Teach India partner, has been spearheading teaching of English by volunteers in government-run schools.

The Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) is the execution partner; with 10 MBA students helping out execute English Unstoppable on the ground.  - The Times of India

India join rich nations’ group to protect forest

Good Morning friends.  It’s a pleasure to know that India will join rich nations’ group to protect forests.  We all know that some forest had been forgotten to protect.  Many will say that forest has no use in our daily life.  Literally yes, but our forest has a big role in nature.  Trees that grew there more than a 100 years helps us when there will be a disaster, like flood.

India, along with five other developing countries, has joined a group of five rich nations to work on a Rs 1,600-crore project to fight climate change through forest management.

The six developing countries — Brazil, Congo, Morocco, Nepal and Romania — have joined the group comprising US, Australia, Britain, Denmark and Norway under the governing body of the Forest Investment Programme (FIP).

This signals the commitment of these countries to a unique partnership to combat climate change through forest management, the World Bank said.

“This new programme will provide much-needed upfront investment to developing countries and forest-dependent communities to help them prepare for and benefit from financial flows for the sustainable management of forests,” said Eduardo Saboia, who represented Brazil in the series of FIP design meetings. The FIP Trust Fund Sub-Committee will meet in Washington for the first time on October 29 to begin implementation of the programme. It will also work on criteria for selecting pilot countries and regions. The FIP governance structure is among the first in a new generation of partnerships among developing and developed countries and other stakeholders which takes account of the need for a level playing field in addressing climate action, the bank said.

“These should lead to replicable models resulting in effective forest management, improved forest governance and information systems, restoration and sustainable management of degraded forests,” it said. Pilot programmes will be chosen by taking into account country distribution across regions.

“Rampant, large scale deforestation produces more carbon emissions than the entire world’s planes, ships and cars combined,” said Douglas Alexander, secretary of state for International Development for UK, which has pledged up to £100 million (Rs 772 crore) for the FIP. – AhmedabadMirror
