We have long been aware that the children's understanding of spoken English is very poor and that they may have a good vocabulary, but are unable to use it very well. We are therefore very lucky that Becky Bell, having decided to take a gap year before university, wanted to go to India to teach for 6 months. Through a contact with a very good Friend, Becky travelled out with me in early October and she is now spending her days working at Mettupalayam School.
In the picture, she is teaching one of the larger classes- I know that the children will pick up spoken English very quickly and look forward to being able to speak more meaningfully with them when I next visit in January.
Thank you Becky- you're a star!

Great to read your update on Becky's teaching. I get regular e mails from Becky and she is really enjoying her time at Mettupalayam.Thank you to everyone for helping her settle in and looking after so well whilst she is away from her family.
