2020 was difficult, but it taught us a lot. We were challenged to work in an unprecedented environment with limited resources, pushing us to be at our creative best. Even without access to computers, we continued classes with 1:1 calls, conference calls, instant messaging, and videos recorded at home by our teachers. Our annual Foundation Day celebration was conducted on Zoom. We launched our new website and also conducted our most successful eco-friendly Diwali hamper sale. The students and teachers went a step further and utilized their breaks to learn new skills in yoga, computer, dance, and more!We all lost some, won some, but above all, survived the year. With all the learnings from 2020, we welcome 2021 with open arms. The new year brings with itself new challenges, and we're excited to meet them head on. We wish all the Prayash Bandhus a very Happy New Year!
Even with limited resources, the teachers have been making classes very engaging for their students. From placing a pen in different places to explain prepositions, to using kitchen items to demonstrate tsunami, the teachers have innovated continuously through this period. Their vigor and determination is commendable and we're so proud to have them with us.
Manju Di joined the teaching staff of MSV in 2009 and soon became the most loved member of our family. Well-versed in Hindi, English and Bengali, Manju Di taught Geography, Math & Science to the students of the senior section. Manju Di was a reflection of love, empathy and courage. Though she's not with us anymore, she'll always be in our hearts, guiding us every step of the way.
