Kavita Sivashankar

I have been working with Manjari Charitable trust since 2014.The teachers and children have given meaning and purpose to my life. The enthusiasm of the children, despite many shortcomings, their smiles, acceptance, and achievements has changed my personality too. I have learnt to be passionate, to give more without expectations, laugh more, and ignore the negatives and so on.

Each day I look forward to interact with the children, teach as well as learn from them. I am blessed to have a job that is so satisfying and rewarding. I hope to be associated with the trust for many more years to come and grow along with the children.

Working with the children at Manjari Charitable Trust has been a truly meaningful and rewarding experience for me. Being around them and witnessing their enthusiasm, innocence, and eagerness to learn teaches me something new every day

The little moments are especially special seeing a child’s face light up when they understand something new, or watching them excitedly come forward to share something with me. These moments bring me a sense of happiness and fulfilment.

This experience has made me realise that children need more than just education. They also need love, encouragement, patience, and, most importantly, someone who believes in them.

Being a part of their learning journey and witnessing their small steps of progress is something I truly cherish. This experience has not only allowed me to contribute to their growth but has also helped me grow as a person.

I have been working as a teacher here since 2017. Working with these children is a wonderful experience. While teaching the students, we also learn why some struggle to understand, and we improve our teaching methods to help everyone keep up. Seeing our former students still show so much trust and respect to their teachers touches our hearts, and their success makes us deeply happy.

I am very grateful to Manjari Learning Center for giving me this great opportunity. The best thing about working here is that all teachers are equal, and our only goal is to support the children who believe in us. I truly enjoy my work every day at Manjari.

My experience of working at Manjari charitable trust with children was very special and memorable. I enjoyed spending time with the children, teaching them, playing with them, and helping them with their activities. I slowly developed a beautiful bond with them and learned to understand their feelings and needs. Their smiles, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn made me very happy. This experience taught me patience, kindness and responsibility. Overall, my time at Manjari was a meaningful experience that I will always cherish.

During teaching in our centre, l observed children can remember anything far better, when l teach or narrate the topic with a instant imaginative story. When next day l tell the story again or its next part children always remember the name and character of the story. So they can understand the topic easily. Story telling is a remarkable technique for both teaching and learning.

Trustees of Manjari

The Trust was conceived to work with children from underprivileged communities. As Trustees we emphasise on giving the children skills to be confident to face the world, while simultaneously being conscious and compassionate to their surroundings.

As a Managing Trustee I feel blessed to be able to continue working with the children & our devoted teachers towards achieving our goals.


Sumukhi Umesh

Children are the present and the future. Our children are guided towards the goal of self confidence, Independent thought, & informed decision making; all the while being aware that they are a part of a larger community. They are made aware of the essentiality of compassion and empathy towards every sentient being & the environment. Respect is not taught; but observed through their daily interactions with our Wonderful teachers.

I will forever be grateful to all my children of the Trust, alumni and current; and our teachers for their ability to inspire.
