Friday, 15 September 2017 saw the Food Partner schools of Ratna Nidhi Trust come together and interact with Aditi Mehta of Stones2Milestones, an organisation which works to improve the way children learn and use the English language in schools.
It was an interactive session wherein the representatives of the schools and Ms. Aditi shared their learning and challenges in the implementation of the language.
The main objective was to open doors for quality education with the schools we work with while providing hot nutritious meals to the children. It is also to ensure that the students stay longer in school and get access to good education which will ensure them a better future.
There were total of 8 Food School Partners present who attended the same.The school partners are those schools and organisations who serve the underprivileged children and youth & who avail of our home cooked nutritious meals everyday. They are mostly the non-aided, private, regional language schools and NGOs.
