Satsang Seva Journal

Continuing to support the young children at the Surepally Access Foundation for Education and Environment (SAFEE) Foundation, the Satsang Seva Mission (SSM) volunteers provided notebooks to all the 290 children receiving academic support classes across 6 learning clusters at Singareni Colony, Hyderabad on 23 August 2024. The children gather every evening and follow-up on their school work under the able guidance of a tutor in a safe and secure learning environment. Creative activities often supplement these sessions, empowering the children to blossom despite their challenging circumstances. The excitement of the young children at the main learning centre was palpable as they received their crisp, new notebooks with joy and gratitude. Join us in our mission to empower our young children from marginalized communities.
