Poveda Product Stalls

The Poveda products are an effective instrument of creating visibility for the organization and the work we do, thus encouraging persons to participate in the mission of the foundation.

This year too, we have had the opportunity to put up stalls at Infosys, Syntel and Idea. A big thanks to their generosity that has enabled us to raise some funds for the work we do.



Drama Class

Drama is a beautiful tool to creatively express oneself and to vent energy.

The children of the Morwadi centre are now introduced to this powerful form of expression through Drama Class every weekend. Student volunteers from Delhi Public School offer these 2 hour sessions to our kids, building on not only their language skills but also their self esteem.

These sessions will culminate with a show that will be presented to the parents later in November

Computer Class









Thanks to the donation of 3 laptops by Rio Tinto, the Poveda Foundation has now been able to offer a program in computers to the children of its centres.

The first batch of the program commenced today at the Chinchwadgaon center with 4 student volunteers from the Delhi Public School- Manaswita, Shubhi, Yashraj and Basil offering 3 hours of their time every Saturday, for the next two months.

The student volunteers through their style of teaching created in the children an eagerness, excitement  and confidence to learn, to try, to experiment and make mistakes. The kids responded well to the simple, clear and encouraging instructions of the volunteers. Join us at any of our classes and you will see that none of this is an overstatement.
