SUMMARY:Balakotsav'09
DESCRIPTION:23rd May’09 was a very special day for Sparsh Charitable Trust\, a Mumbai based non-profit providing non-formal education to marginalized children. The trust was organizing ‘Balakotsav’\, its annual function on this day. Every year the children of the trust look forward to this day as they get an opportunity of a lifetime to showcase their talents before an august gathering of elite of Mumbai city. \nD-Day had finally arrived for children of trust to translate their months of toil and hard work into a wonderful display of talent and skills. Children lived up to the expectations of their trainers coming up with a sterling performance to mesmerize 500 odd audience. Besides the show by children\, also on display at the venue were a variety of handicrafts and artifacts made by the children. Thoroughly impressed by the potential and talent of children\, majority of visitors at the venue agreed that it is the education that has made a difference in the lives of these marginalized children. Most of them also showed willingness to join hands with Sparsh Charitable Trust to further the cause for which it is working. Funds mobilized during Balakotsav are being matched by Smile Foundation to strengthen the project.

SUMMARY:Teachers Training Programme
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation is organizing a Teachers Training Programme to hone the skills of the teachers working in various grassroots level organizations being supported by it. The two-day-long training programme being held on May 26 & 27\, 2009 at the Smile Foundation head office aims at enlightening the teachers on various aspects of child psychology\, effective usage of innovative teaching & learning materials\, and avoidance of teaching methods that disinterests the students. \nSmile Foundation strongly believes that all problems related to societal development be it poverty\, unemployment or poor health care services can be addressed at the corridors of education. Since its inception in 2002\, Smile Foundation has been focusing on universal education through its Mission Education programme. \nThe education scenario in India is quite complex. And so despite the efforts of many grassroots organisations\, the poor and needy are still deprived of basic education. Firstly\, due to low salaries\, there is lack of rightly qualified and trained teachers employed by the development organizations. Secondly\, the parents of children coming to these organizations are unaware and ignorant about the importance of education. As a result\, the school drop out rate is very high. This also impacts the overall annual performance of a development organization adversely\, defeating the very purpose for which it is functioning. \nPoor Schools TeachersThe Mission Education programme of Smile Foundation aims at strengthening the grassroots level development organizations working in the field of education by providing them the right impetus. Smile Foundation aims at enhancing the quality of education being imparted by the development organisations. It should hold the interest of the children as well as their parents. The teachers need to be rightly trained and have sufficient skill to make the teaching content and process interesting. \nSmile Foundation has decided to organise teachers’ training programmes on regular intervals and thus improve the quality of education imparted under its Mission Education projects across the country. The on-going training programme is the first step in this direction.
