About the local hosting organization
RUCHi is an NGO commtted to community development since 1983 working in the foothills of Great Himalayas.
Presentation of the program

The idea is to make education interesting and fruitful to children in age group 6-15 in order for them to have a better future. The school wants the volunteers to help improve on the pronunciation, grammar and digital education of kids along with other lessons. Volunteers can impart information and educate children on various issues like:New normal way of life post COVID pandemic.Basic reading, writing and speaking English lessons.Personality development, communication skills, creative interests.Child rights, protection policy, Good touch, Bad touch, Gender equality, Respecting women, active citizenship etc.Teenage life, adulthood, puberty, drug abuse, Violence, student life career guidance.Digital education and responsible use of gadgets.

Nearby Kasauli town is another hill station as a tourist attraction. A visit to Shimla will offer an opportunity to see high Himalayan Mountains.
Extra information
Covid-19 has challenged our usual way of doing business and our dependency on digital technology is all time high. Having a digital footprint is no more a desire but a necessity for organizations. We have witnessed how people and organizations have used social media as a strong platform for awareness, networking, shopping, education, etc. We aim to introduce and empower children on digital media in a few select NFE centres. Covid pandemic had increased demand of smart phones for a living and online classes for children. However, due to lack of knowledge these phones are still underutilized. We expect volunteers to educate children and parents on use of these digital devices to optimize their performance.
