Collaboration with NGO (REAP)

REAP (Reach Education Action programme (www.reapchild.org) is a NGO working for under privileged children. The organisation has centres along the Central Railway line extending from South Mumbai to Nasik.
Our B.Ed students teach in REAP centers located in slum areas of Mumbai and Thane suburban areas. On every Saturday our students go and teach underprivileged children at the REAP centre .The students teach them basic communication skill, alphabets and songs by using teaching aids.
This practice develops a sense of commitment towards the underprivileged group of society
It develops qualities like sensitivity, empathy, adjusting with the student from a different social economic background and understanding the ground realities of these children from the slums.
