OUR GROUP
All of us live in the same
locality and have been
friends for a long time. So we decided to work together for this year’s DFC project

FEEL
Our mothers
are very
dear to us
and we
wanted to do
something
for them
![Page 4: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
While we all go to school many of our mothers are not literate. Whenever they have to sign a
letter or document they
give their thumb
impressions
![Page 5: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
IMAGINE
We wanted to change that …
we wanted them to be able to say confidently that they could sign!
And we could teach them ourselves!
![Page 6: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We visited the houses in our locality and talked to our mothers, aunts, grannies and neighbors to learn of their views
![Page 7: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We asked them about when they had spare time and how often they could get together.
10 ladies showed an interest in our venture!
![Page 8: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
With the help of our mentor we drafted a letter
and took permission to use the local community
room
We could now meet here every
Sunday afternoon.
DO
![Page 9: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It was now time to get ready for
our teaching experience!
We collected paper, pens, slates , chalk and dusters …making sure
everything was clean and ready
to use.
![Page 10: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Before long our classes had started !
Out of the 10 ladies, 4 came
to learn. But we were not
disheartened….. it would help us
teach more effectively we
felt.
![Page 11: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We held our classes for 1 hour every
Sunday afternoon.
In between we encouraged
them to keep practicing. The
ladies could take the slates home to do so.
![Page 12: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Those who were not teaching helped with
organizing tea, alerting
everyone when the classes
would start and generally running errands.
![Page 13: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
One of the mothers
already knew how to sign her name .
But she wanted help to perfect the letters
and improve the way she
wrote.
![Page 14: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Another wanted to learn at
home as she felt shy about coming to the
community centre, which is a public place.So one of us taught her at
home.
![Page 15: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Soon everyone was writing their
names confidently !
![Page 16: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And then they were writing with pens as well as with
chalk.
We were surprised to see
that it was more difficult
for the ladies to write in pen
than in chalk.
![Page 17: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SUCCESS!
![Page 18: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We wanted to give something to the ladies to reward them for
their efforts and help them remember this
experience.
So we made picture frames and inserted
their own photographs in
them.
![Page 19: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
On the last day we had a party!
We held it at Amisha ‘s house
and all of us played hosts.
Amisha thanked everyone and
then we presented the
gifts to our students.
![Page 20: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
All the ladies spoke of their childhood experiences with education and why they never went to school. There were some interesting stories there!
They also said that they would now be proud to ask for a pen every time they had to sign rather than extend their thumbs.
![Page 21: IND-2012-289 Anando SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555e7cfdd8b42a41328b4e89/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BAHUT BAHUT BAHUT MAZA AYA!
We were a bit scared at first as we thought that the ladies would not listen to us and we would get scolded at every turn! But it turned out just the opposite……
The last day when everyone was so happy gave us a warm glow inside. It was the best day!
STUDENTSPEAK
They can hold their heads high now!
It did not matter that only 4 came. We were able to teach them better.

FUTURE PLANS
All the ladies want to learn more !
We are planning to set up more classes and teach them basic numbers and reading skills in the coming months
