What others say ...
I am still waiting for Barti's feedback:-)
Anil and I keep on building a working friendship that gives rise to lifelong learning. We first met in Delhi at the Prakrit school and gave a group of educators from USA a school tour and explanation about how skateboarding has been a tool for social change in his village and a personal motivation for his learning quest. After meeting Anil in person we were able to connect online for English conversations about day to day living and the realization of his personal goals. We next met in Mumbai where Anil participated in a social innovative conference/workshop. He showed a strong determination to understand new ideas and environments.
In 2015 I visited Janwaar just as the first skatepark was being completed. I worked with the children and young people, giving them basic English speaking tools, which they were not learning at the village school. When I returned to the UK, I continued to work remotely with Arun giving him 1-2-1 English lessons. In May 2020, I started to work with Arun's younger brother Anil. Anil has an aptitude for learning, and an eagerness to do so. With encouragement from all his teachers, he is developing knowledge and understanding of the world around him, and the wider world beyond India. Anil's natural curiosity, and potential for hard work, will open doors for him and help him to be successful in whichever career path he decides on.
