Teach
India Campaign
The
"Teach India"
campaign is a social initiative by the Times
of India in partnership with the Times
Foundation and United Nations
Volunteers, which invites the general public,
corporate employees and students to volunteer towards
teaching underprivileged children who have been denied
the right to education. The aim of the campaign is to
provide a platform for members of society who, irrespective
of their personal and professional standing, feel a
strong desire to give back to society and to participate
in building a nation based on solidarity and justice,
and in order to fight discrimination and marginalization.
The campaign will be carried out in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata
and Chennai.
UNV
India is supporting the "Teach India" campaign with
its technical expertise in volunteer management and
in planning development projects. We have also recruited
four national UNV volunteers as Project Managers to
support Times of India in monitoring the field implementation
of the campaign. These UNV volunteers are also in charge
of linking mobilized volunteer-teachers with partner
NGOs.
This
is a great opportunity for everyone to participate as
active citizens!
