These pictures show the 4th class in progress and the children are learning and practicing how to make Greeting cards by 2 techniques Leaves Print Cards and Landscape Art Cards. They seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves and have made some cards too.
The limitation in teaching these girls is their tendency of not remembering things. They have the tendency to forget really soon.

The first day of the Training when the children were introduced to paper, pencils, colours and taught how to draw straight lines, circles and dots.
Some Pertinent Facts:-
Amongst the group of girls there are three that are quite slow and take time to pick up.
Sarita is a wonderful teacher and all the parents at SUNGAVA are impressed with her
Patience in dealing with children.
Also an important fact that was pointed out by the teachers at the training centre was that the girls all eagerly looked forward to Wednesdays. Also during the other days of the week they are hardly able to concentrate on a particular activity and often interrupt the classes saying they are hungry or need to go to the restroom etc. But seems on Wednesdays these girls are all totally focused and make no interruptions. This has been an astonishing discovery for the teachers cum mothers at the centre.
