Teaching has to be more than a profession. It comes from within, this urge to impart knowledge, to debate and discuss, to connect…in a classroom or beyond.

Pallavi, a resident of Geetanjali till July 2018 shared this picture of hers from Bangalore sitting amidst her students, as she often does while volunteering for teaching programs. During her two years in the hostel too, she frequently taught children from the nearby slums and those of the hostel staff. Some day she hopes to open a primary school in a village and use innovative ways of teaching.

To many of us, Pallavi teaches the important lesson to step up and reach out beyond our comfort zone.

Way to go, Pallavi! You make us proud.
