Welcome!

Welcome to "Every Child In School and Learning Well," this blog takes the name of Pratham's motto, which calls to do just that.

Please read along as I visit and write on a variety of Pratham summer camps being run across India from June-August. For those who don't know, Pratham is India's largest education NGO and has a wide network of programs operating throughout India (www.pratham.org/presence/default.php) which broadly fall into two categories: A) empowering and assisting local volunteers to directly teach literacy and numeracy to children (most of whom are not enrolled in a formal school) and B) a "catalytic" approach which aims to work with State/District/local government to advocate for better education policy, teaching training, etc.

More on Pratham and the summer camps soon.*

I write now from Skokie, IL, USA where I was born and raised, but will leave to Delhi to continue working with the wonderful people at Pratham. I'd love to write more about myself, but there's no time now, so I'll reveal that info slowly to keep you coming back...
