Carol Lee, who has been supporting Gurukulam for a very long time visited our school. Her experience in her own words:
"Above
all, my best wishes to all in Gurukulam, Trust Children School.
It
has been my pleasure to meet the children, teachers during the school
visit on Aug 20th. I have had a hilarious and
unforgettable experience, with fun, laughter, sharing with the
children and learning to understanding the needs of our little
friends' progression at Gurukulam. Their excitement,
energy, happiness and warmth are so inspiring and
touching. Having watched of their karate practise in the early
morning in which they demonstrated it with full enthusiasm,
we shared a lively conversation in a number
of interesting topics from sports to martial arts, geography
and cultural exchanges.
Over all, the
most impressive part of Gurukulam is children's
achievement in their UNSW assessment in Mathematics where they have
achieved High Distinction and Distinction. And, they were happily
rewarded for this achievement. Children, your great results
has shown that the standard of your mathematics is similar
to that of Singapore's students from topnotch schools.
Nonetheless, in very near future there will be potential
mathematicians from Gurukulam with the credit of this
wonderful achievement going to the teachers who had made this possible
through their contribution. Three cheers to all of you!
On
the other hand, the extraordinary cum multitude contrasting
schooling environment from home has reminded me of how fortunate our
children in Singapore are having all the great facilities and the
opportunities to attend school. Our children at home should spare a
thought for the less fortunate and appreciate more what has been
provided for them by the Government, community or family.
Last
but not least, I would highly recommend everyone's participation to help
grow and evolve Gurukulam, for all economically under-privileged children, for
a better future, which is the point of me being here in the first place.
Warmest
regards,
Carol
LEE"
