We have been working on the children's homework. We realised we were not meeting the supervisory needs of the children. Sometimes they did not complete all their work.

Bishnu has been helping with supervision but we have encouraged our volunteers to give the children extra, more challenging work. The homework set by the school is often too easy for their level. Our volunteers have been a big help in creating stencils for the children and coming up with educational but fun activities. We have tried hangman, dot-to-dot, colour by number, spelling quizzes, find-a-words and many other activities.
After speaking with the school we have decided to focus on maths, reading, spelling and handwriting as most of the children are having some problems in these areas.
We have already seen the results of the new homework routine. Three weeks of study and focused homework time have lead to a great improvement in the children's marks in their most recent exams. Kamal managed to top his in all subjects and the other children were all in the top ten students in their classes.

We are very proud of their results and home to see them keep on improving.
