Education comes to your doorstep

It will also serve as a mobile library. The school8217;s curriculum, for students aged between seven and 18, will include art and music besides other subjects.

Informs Bina Sheth, secretary, DoorStep School: quot;We also hold annual art exhibitions of our children8217;s work in galleries such as Cymroza, Prithvi and ANZ Grindlays Bank. And we actually manage to sell these works of art!quot;

Door Step School is managed by a committee of seven people who run schools in the slums of A ward.

Says Sheth: quot;Though we are trying to get RTO tax and octroi exemption, the bus will cost us around Rs 12 lakh.quot; And once the project is on its way, potential parking hassles will also come to light.

Meanwhile, the organisation 8212; funded by institutions like CRY, Concern India, British Deputy High Commission and Himos 8212; is looking forward to the inauguration by Mayor Nandu Satam at YB Chavan Centre at 3.00 pm on July 24, 1998.
