Geetanjali Learning Centre

Our little learning centre is tucked away in Ashram Bhagwan Nagar at H 114. It’s a quiet enough street most of the time. We started Geetanjali Learning Centre because there were kids around here who needed a place to sit and study after their regular classes were done. It’s not a huge operation. We have a few rooms with tables and chairs. Most of the kids live within walking distance, so they just pop in after lunch. We help them with whatever they’re struggling with that day. Sometimes it's math, other times it’s just reading. It can get a bit disorganized when everyone shows up at once, but we figure it out. We aren't some big chain with a manual for everything. We just look at what the student needs and try to explain it. Some of us have been teaching for years and just like being around the neighborhood. The walls are a bit plain, maybe a few posters here and there. We don't spend much on decorating. The focus is more on getting the homework done and making sure they understand the basics. It’s a good way to spend the afternoon. Parents stop by to chat when they pick up their kids. It feels like a small community thing. We just keep the doors open and do our best with the books we have. It is nice to see the progress they make month by month.
