School-On-Wheels ???

Are you wondering how can be a school on wheels.. yes it is... Everybody knows how many Child labors are in India... Many of us(in India) knows so many people child labors exists, and they work for more than 10 hours a day. After a long-days work they rarely think about their studies...

But here is a non-profit organization DoorestepSchool which conducts classes inside buses.. which is concerned about Homeless people... I have to say.. this is a great idea to give education to Homeless people.. It is working well on Mumbai now. I hope it should come in all the places in India where Child labors are high in India(Like Bangalore, since I'm living here for more than 2 years...as of i know in almost all the restaurants and most of the other places)


From their site,

The School-on-Wheels project is the flagship of Doorstep's attempts to take education to Out-of-School children who dwell on the very fringes of society. This project was initiated with 2 major objectives in mind:

1. Provide a means to impart basic literacy skills to the less settled groups of children viz. those who live on pavements, station platforms or street corners and often seen begging. These groups are very mobile and usually there is no facility to run classes in the areas where they dwell. A bus provides the most suitable alternative for such a classroom.

2. Provide a School Bus Service for primary school children from slums. Some parents are motivated enough to enroll their children in school but are unable to drop the young ones to school regularly resulting in high school drop-off rates.
