More details on the project:
From June three of the team have been going to the local Government Primary School in Tarabanahalli for standard 1 to 4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Language classes are conducted and two small classroom libraries have been set up. In addition we do work in the nearby Government aided Kannada medium school with the first and second standard children and take language classes on a Monday morning. We plan to extend the work to two more Government primary schools in the locality and set up two more libraries in nearby villages.
After the school closed we have been thinking how best we could share some of the resources including he collection of books we have with a larger number of children.In the Fig Tree Learning Centre work has been done to cover the books and catalogue them in a systematic way. The books have also been stamped with the Fig Tree Learning Centre logo. It may be premature to describe this as a success but it has certainly been an exciting beginning. In the last four weeks we have started a small library in the village of Kasaghattapura, a village on the outskirt of North Bengaluru.

"Fig Tree Learning Center" is the new avatar of "Sita School" that was started by Jane Sahi, when she moved to Bangalore from England in 1972. The re-booted Fig Tree supports children within their own contexts and villages (Kasaghattapura, Tarabanahalli, Shivanahalli & Kumbarahalli). A dedicated team has worked hard to start a small library in each of these villages, either within the Govt schools, or at local Panchayat facilities and have been working to make learning meaningful, ensuring functional literacy and more.

Regular sessions have been held twice a week from 4.00.pm to 6.00.pm. typically about 25 children come between the ages of 5 to 13 years. Previous efforts by this groupis documented in an earlier Asha project. (https://ashanet.org/project/?pid=926)
