🌍 English: A Gateway to the Global Community Nachivayal, a rural village near Munnar, faces challenges of marginalization and limited access to quality education, leading to high school dropout rates and unskilled youth. To change this, Vincentian Social Services, in collaboration with Jesuit Worldwide Learning, is empowering the children of Nachivayal through English education. Our journey started with an inspiring orientation session led by our mentor, Benny, and his dedicated team. Together, we’re breaking barriers and creating opportunities for a brighter future! 📚✨ Let’s build a world of possibilities! #EducationForAll #EnglishLearning #EmpoweringCommunities #VincentianSocialServices #SocialImpact #CommunityDevelopment
