A SCHOOL'S INITIATIVE

I have studies all my primary classes at SLS School and it's name always brings to me an unsuppressable feeling of nostalgia. After all, it was my first ever school. But what sets my school really apart is their 'KEHAKSHAN'. What is KEHEKSHAN, you ask? Well, it is a initiative to educate the poverty stricken kids of the neighbourhood for free. When it was started, I ,to be honest, was skeptical about the quality of education that would be given. After all, I thought, it is a very harsh reality that beggars are never choosers but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was at par with the education given to the regular students who payed exorbitant fees and that says something because the school has stellar academic reputation. I ,always grumbling about the quality of education in my country, see this initiative as a paradigm for other schools to follow and thus help to alleviate the biggest problem we face today. GOOD GOING SLS
