Pinki Shah from Manhattan Country School comes visiting

HOPE foundation School and the Manhattan Country School (MCS) has been having a link for the 5th graders through a Photo-essay exchange for the past 3 years. Photos taken by the students on topics like Water, Food, Fire and Energy/Plastic are exchanged between the schools. This has inspired the students to realize the difference and similarities at the same time that exist in our world.

In order to take this exchange forward Pinki Shah, the teacher responsible for the program paid a visit to Bhuj and particularly to the school. She spent 3 days with the school and its students. We have identified many areas in which this partnership could be nurtured and be fruitful.

We are glad to be associated with a school as phenomenal as the MCS.

A New Partnership

It was an amazing week when Karen and Julie, both teachers from the St.John's First School, spent with the HOPE foundation School.

St. John's First School is situated in Frome (pronounced froom), a town in Somerset county in England. This visit was part of a initiation for partnership link between both the schools. Many wonderful methods and avenues were discussed for strengthening the partnership. A lot of good opportunities have been identified, mostly revolving around Global awareness, ecology and sustainability.

Karen and Julie spent a lot of time with the students and held creative lessons to inspire them, while at the same time they got to learn our methodology of teaching. They had very kind words to speak of our students, stating that they were very respectful and well behaved.

Looking forward to a strong and mutual growth through this partnership.
