We know that teaching to fish is better than catching fish. Therefore, in the tribal villages where we work, the tribal leaders take care of the village welfare. They get little help, guidance and a lot of encouragement from us. Pandi, Pandi is a vibrant tribal youth of his age. He knows the needs of his villagers and helps them. He is doing many important activities like bringing government schemes to the village, getting benefits to the villagers and getting documents. Aruna is an Adivasi girl who completed her nursing studies. When we met him in his village a few months ago, he said that he had completed his nursing course. Later, when asked why he did not go to work, he said that he could not take care of his children. If so, we asked if it would be possible to provide the necessary medical assistance to this village. Aruna immediately agreed with great enthusiasm, and since that day he has been attending to all the medical needs in his village like taking care of everyone in need of medical care and taking them to the hospital. Nagarani is a tribal girl who has only completed her twelfth standard. Due to his own passion and attachment to his village, he provides educational services to all the children in his village in the evenings. He knows very carefully what are the educational needs of the children in his village and understands the essential educational services to fulfill them. Thus we only teach the tribes how to fulfill their own needs.
