This unique educational approach reaches out to children in underserved communities, bringing recreational-learning to their doorsteps. The bus refurbishment was designed by Mathew and Ghosh Architects to be retrofitted as 'Wonder Bus' a mobile hub for recreation, equipped with resources and tools to spark curiosity and learning. The MGsCc Foundation partnered on this project as goals were complementary - to seed an exposure to the delights of learning in children who are disadvantaged in any way. The partners were Bangalore Bruhat Mahanagara Palike and its Anganwadi Program, and liaison partner Freethinking Foundation.

MGsCc Foundation hopes to continue the Learning-On-The-Go Mobile Education expanding its possibilities.

Effect of change:

It bridges educational disparities, nurturing resilience and aspiration among children, while enabling them a sense of fun and adventure. This approach seeds a transformative "I can do it" mindset, empowering these children for possibilities.

The Foundation’s Saturday Programs were set up five years ago with changing groups of children of migrant construction workers, offering interactive sessions that blend fun with education, covering a range of subjects from basic literacy to environmental awareness. This approach not only bridges educational gaps but also nurtures a sense of resilience and aspiration among children often left behind. A sense of “I can do it” approach to life gets seeded.

Effect of change:

It enables a beacon of fun and friendship - a cheer-filled break from their daily chores of the week in supporting their working parents. They look forward to this Saturday all week.
