Making a Difference on and off the Court
Rohit playing basketball!
Rohit is a fourteen year old boy who loves to play basketball. Rohit also has polio, but he hasn’t let that stop him from getting involved in sports at Amar Jyoti school. In the six years he has attended Amar Jyoti, his teachers have noticed a steadily increasing level of confidence in Rohit, both in the classroom and on the court.
Rohit’s father is a rickshaw driver, which makes it impossible for him to afford Rohit’s tuition. Ravi, your generous contribution has sponsored an entire year of Rohit’s tuition. During that year he will continue to improve his stellar handwriting, work on fractions and, of course, play basketball. But more importantly, he will develop his self confidence on and off the court.

Kamruddin Practices Writing at Amar Jyoti
Kamruddin is an 11 year old boy studying in the Hearing Impaired section at Amar Jyoti School. He is performing at 1st grade level in academics. He has been coming to Amar Jyoti School since March 3, 2008. He is a pleasant child and is punctual in coming to school. He is hearing impaired but communicates well through sign language.
Kamruddin attending classes at Amar Jyoti School
Kamruddin comes from an economically underprivileged family. His father is a part time barber and his mother is a housewife. It is difficult for Kamruddin’s parents to support his education and medical needs. The parents are very concerned about Kamruddin’s education though and make frequent calls to the teacher to know what they can do to improve his performance. Kamruddin has three other siblings being supported by his parents.
Kamruddin was good in writing when he joined but lacked basic concepts. He would perform rote learning without understanding the meaning. His teacher explains that he would copy words from the blackboard correctly but could not explain what they meant. His communication skills were also below average.
Kamruddin’s academic performance has improved with time. His concepts have become clearer. His teacher had to make special efforts for that. The teacher made him sit with a kindergarden class where pictures were displayed and students had to write the names corresponding to the pictures. Now, Kamruddin knows the names of many fruits and vegetables and uses sign language to describe them. He can also answer questions using sign language. His confidence level has improved which is reflected in his academic performance.
Kamruddin likes to play football. He also likes to draw pictures of various kinds. He shows interest in art and crafts activities. Kamruddin’s social skills have improved and he exhibits friendly attitude towards his peers.
Ron and Marilyn, your generous donation will allow Kamruddin to continue his studies at Amar Jyoti and reach his full potential. Thank you for your support!

Parental Involvement at Amar Jyoti
Manish Kumar
Amar Jyoti school provides unique opportunities for children with disabilities. For hearing-impaired students like Manish, 9, studying at Amar Jyoti will be a life-changing experience, providing him with an education he couldn’t access at other schools. The direct involvement of the Amar Jyoti teachers has encouraged Manish to take his academics seriously. His teacher notes that he needs constant encouragement to complete his assignments, but his aptitude is increasing at a rapid rate.
It is not just the teachers who are actively involved in Manish’s education; his parents are constant champions for their son. Both of his parents are day laborers who struggle to make ends meet. Yet they regularly attend meetings on Manish’s academic progress. He has made particular strides in math, and his teacher cites the involvement of his parents as key in this improvement.
A gift to sponsor Manish’s tuition at Amar Jyoti not only helps this bright young man, but reaffirms the importance of education to Manish’s parents and the village they come from.
