No Fun and Games at this School

As we kick off "Pass Ya Fail", our campaign on Right to Education in India, this week we bring you compelling evidence on the lack of access to education in the country.

Do you remember really looking forward to the games period while sitting in the middle of a boring math lesson? Do you remember how fun it was to be completely exhausted after a game of hide and seek or football?

For the students at this school in Madhya Pradesh, a ground to play on is a thing fantasies are made of. They are instead stuck with a piece of land overgrown with shrubbery, unkempt and slushy. VV-PACS Correspondent Rekha reports.

Call to Action: Please call Mr Sunil Pawar at the Block Resource Centre on 09425391622 and ask him to ensure that grounds in the school are fixed for children to enjoy.
