'Play, learn and grow together'


There are quite a few social issues that my community faces, but a social issue that I feel to be the most important is related to education due to poverty. Students with learning difficulties, need extra help other than just school, but unfortunately they can't get that extra help because of their low economic conditions. Although they are very smart in other stuff like sports or arts, but just because they have difficulty with academics they are considered as least important.

out. Hence I plan to take up the responsibility of helping those kids in their academics so that they can excel. I'll be doing this by collaborating with NGOs that do these type of services and even helping out students of my own school, because I myself believe that a friend can explain better than a teacher because he knows what kind of a person are you so by what method you will understand easily.

For this issue I would encourage my friends to help out their weak friends and other students as sometimes just a bit of tips from friends can even help. And especially I would talk to my school administration to start a club or something similar where students help students. Besides my own school, as I mentioned, I would, collaborate with NGOs and work with students.
