India

Building Blocks India is a proactive pre-school program to give slum children a good foundation in English language, arithmetic, general science, social and practical life skills at an early age of 3½ years through a fun, comprehensive curriculum. Normally these children would not have the opportunity to go to any early learning course due to economic difficulties. However we have been able to fulfill this dream to receive an education totally free through the help of caring sponsors and corporate funding.
