Abstract | This paper describes lessons learned from the first-year education efforts of Rising Star Outreach of India, a U.S.-based nongovernmental charitable organization (NGO) working with leprosy colonies in Tamil Nadu, India. In 2008, Rising Star Outreach established a residential school to provide English-medium schooling for 180 colony children in Standards K through 8. Using lived experience methods of phenomenological research described by Manen (1990), the author describes six themes derived from personal experience during the a full year of organizing and directing the school, including obtaining government recognition, organizing school governance, working within local school culture, hiring and training teachers, providing English-medium instruction, and establishing and maintaining positive relations with parents and families. The themes include lessons learning that can benefit other organizations endeavoring to establish schools in developing areas. (As Provided). |
