Mrs Yashodhara Rajurkar joined us 13 years back to inculcate moral values in slum children, as they are surrounded by many Anti-Social Elements. She has succeeded in her task as our children are very well mannered. She suggested that we start tuition classes for children as parents are illiterate, and children don't do homework. They fail and drop out and start working. Parents also welcome an extra income. She ensures that children complete their homework, solves their problems, helps them revise tables, poems etc. There has not been any school dropout since then. Teachers in school treat her as the mother of students and their parents don't care. When the lockdown started she ensured that children were given bananas, dates, sprouts, ladoos, and tonics at their doorstep. monthly birthday parties were held, kids were served food, cake pieces and gifts for Birthday Boys and Girls were delivered at their door steps. We started distributing rations as soon as the lockdown was announced. She would shortlist the needy families for every distribution. She would sit with her team of volunteers to pack the foodstuff, make kits, and even work overnight to guard the ration against being stolen. The next day the ration distribution would start and sometimes end after a week. She volunteered for a 3 Day Medical Camp in Anand Nagar, which was declared a Red Zone. These are true heroes in our land... https://sonakumarblog.blogspot.com/2022/07/our-teachers-covid-warriors-we-have.html
