Teacher creates incredible opportunity for kids who need special attention
One teacher decided that she wanted to break away from teaching at mainstream schools and teach children who needed special attention.
In case you missed the Big Favour this morning, take a listen to it here:
Dhiya, a qualified school teacher, decided that she wanted to break away from teaching at mainstream schools and teach children who needed special attention.

From her community, she identified five children who had been in mainstream schools and who had either been bullied or were lagging behind and just weren't getting the attention they needed.
Taking a leap of faith, Dhiya decided to open her own home school to cater for kids who were battling.
Her garage has become her classroom and a visit to a company called Intelo to buy software for her single computer prompted the Researcher and Founder of Intelo, Sandesh Maharaj, to contact me.
With her passion and eager attitude, Sandesh soon found out that Dhiya would need computers for her classroom.

Seeing her vision, he jumped on board and has sponsored five computers with lifetime technical support, as well as a free website and blog page so that other parents wanting their children to study with Dhiya can make contact.
Sandesh also has a long term vision - to build a highly-equipped solar powered learning centre... which he'll now start working on with Dhiya.
