With me, there are 5 teachers for the children and we have 5 kitchen workers. At the moment, we also have 2 German volunteers, Charlotte and Marthe, from FSL-India with us. Their tasks here are mostly helping me with the administration work, teaching English and Computer skills to the children and the staff members, and taking care of one dormitory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0014-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0014.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0014-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0014-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0014-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As I am a handicapped person, the help I get\nfrom the girls is really important for me.

Every January, we have a\nhuge event called \u2018Joy of Learning\u2019 where all of our 6 shelters compete against\neach other. Therefore, we have cultural and educational competitions. With the\nhelp from our volunteers, the children from Nisarga Grama scored top results in\nthe categories of Science, Environmental Lover and Spelling. In all these\ncategories, our children competed in English, which made them stand out from\nthe other participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0013-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0013.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0013-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0013-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG-20190221-WA0013-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So for that, I not only want to thank our volunteers, but also FSL-India to make it possible to have such an exchange and gain for our children.
