When There's a Will There's a Way! English Studies at the Andovar School in Porayar

Students in Tamil Nadu, India Need Sponsorship for 
Secondary School
A Project of Empowering Girls of India: Division of Sakthi Foundation

When there's a will there's a way. 
Student's without electricity study English via mobile phone:


Here's an update on the progress of our 8th graders at the Andovar School in Porayar, Tamil Nadu, India. As part of their extracurricular activities, the students gather in groups and Mrs.Balambika Mahesh leads then in spoken English class via mobile phone connection.

They participate as a group and also individually as the phone is passed to each student and they have a chance to verify their pronunciation with an English teacher.

As support continues to grow for the school, we are hoping to add electricity and then audio visual equipment so the students have more opportunities to progress.

Thank you for supporting these kids as they work to improve their lives!
