New Volunteer Registration
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Gurukulam School that provides FREE education to the underprivileged children of Panayur village, Chennai, India. Because of the support of people like you and through the power of EDUCATION, we are confident that these children will earn a decent living for themselves and be able to break the “poverty-labour manual” cycle.
We request all prospective volunteers to register on this page. Please let us know the number of days that you would like to volunteer with us, the activities that interest you, and the grades/classes that you would be interested to work with. Once you complete your registration one of our committee members will respond to you at the earliest to assist you further.
Gurukulam School has grades from LKG (Lower Kindergarten) to the VI at present. Subjects taught are English, Tamil, Hindi, Mathematics and Science. All subjects are taught in English even though the children’s native language is Tamil. Children from grade IV to grade VI will be able to understand and converse fluently in English. Obviously, higher the grade, the better is their spoken English.
