Shraddha Kathiriya
Oasis Movement Workshop
Namste, My name is Shraddha Kathiriya, and I have been actively connected with SSKK for the last two years. Recently, Dhiraj sir shared about an opportunity to participate in Oasis workshop, where 36 days of involvement was needed, spread across a span of 3 years commitment. Initially I was hesitant a bit, however I took the plunge to participate and welcome the experience it will bring within me. All good things take time 
and we know Rome was not built in a day.
It’s been a while since the Oasis workshop was conducted. However with time passing by I have been observing and experiencing the changes. This workshop has brought a beautiful transformation and transitions in my life, I have minutely been observing them and here I am sharing my excerpts of this beautiful journey I undertook.
Ajay Parmar
Centre for Learning Assistance
Ajay is one of the children of migrant worker families earning their livelihood in Jafrabad industrial and agricultural areas. Ajay is otherwise a very enthusiastic child, loves to study and play with friends. He is very good in extracurricular activities also but due to frequent movement, Ajay started experiencing a disconnect of his studies and their parents were also forcing him to join for their livelihood and made pressure on him to earn. With this situation he started the work and society made one more child labour. This led to a rise of disappointing feeling in him.
During this time, Chakuben, one of our volunteers, assisted Ajay in enrolling in the CLA program. Gradually Ajay started to take classes and he was gaining back his zeal and was getting more curious about his education. Ajay also enrolled into the school but he used to skip class majorly.
Ajay joined the CLA and this helped him from channelize his enthusiasm towards learning and knowledge grasping. He started to attend CLA class regularly as he is receiving education and emotional needs and strengths from the class. He actively participated in student activities, enjoying the CLA classes, made new friends, shared his knowledge with them, asked his doubts to Chakuben and positive growth was very much visible in him.

Hello my name is Bhautik Bharatbhai Makwana, I stay in Ingorala village with my parents. I am very curious to learn new things, especially GK. Whenever I am not doing anything I pick up the phone and explore various GK related topics.

Along with many of my friends Hardikbhai shared with us information about – Gender Equitable Boys Program. This program has learning and fun activities, this was something new, so I and my friends regularly participated. Everyday after school, we took out 2 hours, the time flew by and we learnt and enjoyed learning with so much fun.
Kinjal Gavtar
Centre for Learning Assistance
The Center for Learning Assistance, an initiative by Hariraj Charitable Trust, aims to improve children’s educational levels and foster their practical development. This program started in 2020 during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of supporting children’s education. I, Nensy Gangadiya, have been serving as the centre assistant, dedicating my efforts to nurturing the potential of the children in our community.
For the academic year 2024-25, like every year, we initiated the process by meeting the parents of prospective students to understand their backgrounds and expectations. A baseline assessment was conducted for each child to gauge their current academic level. Gavtar Kinjal was one such student whose parents expressed a keen interest in enrolling her at our centre. After detailed discussions and assessments, she was enrolled, and she herself was very excited and happy about joining the center. we began her educational journey with a plan designed to address her unique needs.
Kinjal’s baseline assessment revealed her need for foundational learning in both basic language and maths. Hence, we started her journey with basic concepts such as: gujarati alphabets, simple words, ABCs, and numbers.
