the akanksha centers run after or before the school. the link to the school system is still being strengthened. the kids come to the centers 5 days a week for at least 10 years. each center runs for 2.5 hours a day and has 2 teachers and a very systematic curriculum. do check http://www.akanksha.org/whatwedo.html for a more in depth understanding of the work. do write to website@akanksha.org for continuing this thread.
