2) Bru Education
With 18 learning centers for school going kids and 3 learning centers for non-school going kids, the children have been able to narrow their knowledge gap and get back to regular schooling. From time to time school kit distribution drives are organized where 400 – 500 school bags are distributed each year to not just provide them with essential school supplies but also to keep them motivated. Computer centers are operating in the area, involving the youth and the children alike to put the tribal population of Tripura on the digital map of the nation.
The Sewa International Vision
School Kit Distribution
In refugee camps of Ashapara and Naisinghpara in North Tripura, Sewa is running 9 and 6 Sewa Learning Centers(SLC) respectively. The students at the center were suffering due to lack of basic stationery items like pencils and bags to carry their copies and books around. 500 such kits were distributed in the Ashapara & Naisinghpara SLCs and in a dilapidated SSA school in Khakchangpara camp in the presence of the visiting Sewa International team.
Education and Tuition Centers For Bru Children
It was almost always a common sight to see the local children loitering around, throughout the days. In view of the already overburdened schools these children were unable to get education or even access to a decent school. And even if there were schools, the parents couldn’t afford to send these children to school, thus leading to a deficit in literacy levels. In cooperation with the local teams, a few Remedial Education Centers have been started within the camps that will run with the help of volunteers for a few hours everyday.
