Presbyterian English School, Tanhril, Aizawl, Mizoram, India
(A) This project, Extension of Mangil’s Library Project, aims to provide dootronics to Presbyterian English School, the middle school (Nursery to Class-VIII) at Tanhril in the outskirts of Aizawl, the capital city of Mizoram state in India. This school does not have access to the internet, and the only educational resource the school has is the course textbooks, which contributes almost none to increase their critical thinking skills and to help them find their goals and passion. Therefore, having the excellent electronic resources which can be provided by the Labdoo besides their present fixed course textbooks will show the students a path of self-realization of how they can become one person that brings positive changes to his/her society and the world.
(B) Presbyterian English School is managed and funded by the church. It is a mission school, which means the students are from poorer family background. The tuition fees and other fees are subsidized and even free according to the backstory of those students. However, the school does not have proper resources including academic and non-academic reading materials which can help the children improve their reading and writing skills, their knowledge in which careers they should follow and how, and their outview of the whole world. Hence, hundreds of books received from Rochun: Pay It Forward and Book Aid International greatly help the students to keep reading as their daily habit, enhance their knowledge, and guide them to find out and follow their passion and life goals that greatly contribute to their mental growth and development.
