Pratham Books Champions : Azad India Foundation

Yuman Hussain from Azad India Foundation sent us the following story. AIF is working with government schools as well as with the madarasa children.

Date: 7th September 2013
Organized by: Azad India Foundation, Kishanganj, Bihar
Place: 20 Madarasas and 20 Girl Child Learning Centres


Azad India Foundation organized reading sessions all through  the day on 7th September at 40 Nonformal Centers under ProjectTalim and Project Aalima Girl Child Learning Centres.

40 teachers, 7 cluster level coordinators and 1282 children read, listened and narrated Paplu the Giant in English and Hindi.


The day was full of excitement at the centres as preparation for the D- Day had started almost a week before.

This small step of Pratham Books brought joy of reading to so many children.

Thank you Azad India Foundation for spreading the joy of reading!
