From the Tent School to Regular School

From the Tent School to Regular School

14This is a success story and the journey of Ajay who has been graduated from the Tent School run by FSL India at Kundapur under the Home Based Project. This will certainly go on the record and bear a living testimony and inspiration to many children from migrant community who have been deprived of the basic education. Now Ajay has been enrolled in the regular school, thanks to the efforts of HBP team of FSL India and the long term volunteers.


According to Grayson Kirk “The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his/her life to oneself and others.” Inspired by this dictum and respecting children’s right to education, FSL India started Tent School Project in Kundapur so as to bring about change in the life of children from the migrant community who come to Kundapur in search of job and livelihood opportunities.


Ajay was a school dropout who studied at the Tent School of FSL India at Kumbhashi. His parents migrated from Andhra Pradesh for road construction work. HBP Team of FSL India and the long term volunteers on their visit to the migrant community found him interested in education. Immediately he was enrolled in the tent school. Active and agile, Ajay was found to be a quick-learner. He actively participated in all the sessions. Having observed his interest for education, the HBP team and long term volunteers discussed with his parents and convinced them to get him enrolled in the regular school.


The HBP team and long term volunteers discussed with the Headmaster of the Primary School at Kumbhashi who at once admitted him to the school. Now Ajay is in IV class and exceptionally doing well in his studies. His parents too are very happy at Ajay’s academic performance.
