Empowering through literacy, one word at a time

On World Literacy Day, teachers at Don Bosco took a crucial step in empowering underprivileged children from local slum areas by hosting an enlightening awareness session on the significance of literacy. This initiative aimed to demonstrate how education can be a transformative force, unlocking new opportunities and breaking the cycle of poverty.

The session underscored that literacy extends beyond mere reading and writing; it encompasses acquiring knowledge and developing skills essential for a brighter future. Teachers encouraged the children to value education for its potential to foster social and financial independence, thereby improving their living conditions. Through engaging activities and storytelling, the children were shown how education serves as a powerful instrument for personal growth and community advancement.

This World Literacy Day awareness session was a poignant reminder that education is a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of their background, and is essential for creating a more promising future.
