About the Project

The mentoring program of e-shishya is a unique program where the urban professionals/final year students can become a mentor to a rural child for 100 days. You will be connected to a rural child through Google Hangout/Whatsapp/local calls etc. Together you will read wonderful stories like Blue umbrella, Birbal tales etc. This is not a normal teacher-student program. Rather it is an initiative to exchange dialogue to understand urban-rural lifestyle. You can talk to him about city life and the child can tell you about life in a village. This and much more can be discussed for 100 days with the children. Link to Apply as a Mentor - http://e-shishya.com/registermentor.php
