 In July, our Learning Centres in India were able to open their doors to students again after months of strict lockdown. The children are delighted to be back and learning again.   Since we started working with Dalit communities in Bihar State, India one of the main requests from the children was for IT classes. For several years, our partners have been running a Computer Centre, open to all children who attend our 31 Learning Centres in Bihar State and offering courses in basic computer skills.
The Computer Centre has proved to be a vital resource for Dalit children throughout lockdown, and we're pleased to say it has just reopened, offering classes to children again.  In India, as schools reopen, we’re delighted to share progress from our programme to support older Dalit children to continue their education and build up vital skills to help them break the cycle of discrimination they face.
 Our school in Zahle, Lebanon was able to reopen on the 31st May 2021 and all 300 students returned to classes. It was a welcome relief after months of lockdown and home lessons where the children were constantly asking when they could go back to school. Could you support our Back to School campaign and give a Monthly Donation childrenontheedge.enthuse.com/regular-gift-websiteto help us get more children back into the classroom in the wake of the pandemic?   The second wave of Covid-19 infections in India that began to take off in April 2021 had a devastating effect on the people of Bihar State, where we work. A strict lockdown was enforced in May 2021 and extended throughout June. Children on the Edge provided emergency supplies to nearly 3,000 families to support them through lockdown.
