LEADer Shruti Kamble of KLEIT, Hubli, has strong English skills, and she recognized that knowing English in today’s globalized world is a necessity.  However, learning English can be challenging and expensive and poor children, especially those who live in slums, usually get left behind.  She wanted to help the children from slum areas learn English so that she could give them a better future.  She and her Co-LEADer, Marcia,  and coordinated with the Smart Kids Education Trust in Hubli and made arrangements to teach one-hour English and math sessions, three times a week, to 20 students between 1^st and 9^th Standard.  She has continuously taught these children from the past 10 months, even during her exams. Shruti is proud to say that three of the children that she taught have built up their English skills so much that they are now attending an English medium school. 

For this project, Shruti was awarded the “Best Project of Education Promotion” award at the LEAD Valedictory, Hubli ceremony in May of 2013.  Her project was also showcased during Yuva Summit 2014.
