Delhi Community school provides free education to underprivileged students through mobile classrooms

New Delhi

"We started this concept seven years ago. We aim to reach kids in underserved communities," said Marlo Philip, Founder, NGO, Tejas Asia.

Phillip further said, "Through the 'Hope Buses', we aim to go to places especially in an underserved community because we found out they don't have access to go to the schools. We want to take the schools to the students. That is been our dream. We have seen so many lives touched and impacted through this. We also give them a mid-day meal which is cooked in our Hope Kitchen in Tughlaqabad".

Phillip started the concept of taking education onto the wheel seven years ago. The community school has got four buses at the moment which go to eight locations in the capital to teach the students. The starting point of buses is Saket in Delhi. Then the buses go to different locations in Delhi. He has started a project in Gurugram as well.

The children are made to study for two hours and then provided with food. The children are taught basic educational skills like language and basic math skills, said Ebina, who manages the bus.
