TESTIMONIALS BY STAFF MEMBERS:
Ms.Kalaivani David [Teacher training, Montessori trained, [B.Lit]] Feb 2013 ''I am very proud and happy to be the very first child assistant of this center since 2007. I thank the villagers for accepting this wonderful educational system given through Sakthi foundation. We started with 3 children and now we have sent more than 200 children in these 5 years. Now we have 35 children. -
I have been trained to understand the needs of 1-6 years old children. This education has first brought many inner self-transformations. This has directed me to solve many of my own personal issues.This system is making me to develop my skills. I feel we are meaningful in this work to this village. I always feel I have the greatest responsibility in making the children with responsibility which is the immediate need for this nation. This system of education is giving me that space and freedom to do my work. I also spread this mission to my community and friends.
The 5 level developmental pattern of education through materials and concepts is wonderful. Children are more responsible after coming here. They are aware about their ''self'' and environment. We all have learned not to waste any thing and conserve the energy through this education pattern.
We have developed a work style, perfection and beauty in our work. Even at home and family life the center has made great impact. I am always trying to associate my home and center. Harsh treatment will never solve any issues. I believe this system and it is very scientific, practical and I love much. This has made me to stay back in this village away from my husband who is serving in army in North India. I believe the service rendered by me and my husband is equal to this nation. I am stressless.Taking responsibility as Princiapal in turn gave me much space to develop my leadership qualities. The center has given time and support to qualify more.
Uni5 system is making me to connect every object around me. This is making me to think much about energy concept and conservation. The system gives natural exposure to nation's culture and traditions. This school has made us to bind the village beyond many discriminations. I am able to maintain my own family with much awareness. We are living in harmony and learning naturally. I am not like a traditional school teacher just making the child to know some information through books. This system has given that chance. Trust is very friendly. We are free to express our thoughts. We are able to understand people of various levels of maturity and we have gone to the level of handling the parents. We fight for the child. We feel we are paid reasonably. Our parents support a lot. They have understood this sytem. They give clear feedback. The trust is very flexible and understand us.When I will a child of my own I wish to setup an environment. This is my obligation to my husband.''
Ms.Shanthi Sakthivel - M.A, B.Ed, Montessori trained.
'' I have been a traditional school teacher. I came to this center especially to get rid off my stress. I have completed my PG, B.Ed and Montessori traing through this center. I got time and support to qualify. Now I am not much interested in teaching higher class children. Working experince and Montessori training has made me to become more aware about human life. I have reduced my anger with my own son.I have also shed my shyness. I am confident in expressing my thougths. I thank the trust for making the villagers to get this opportunity. Villagers has accepted this. Only in Madurai city [56 Kms away] we ahve one Montessori school. That is only for rich people.
The fees structure is feeble which cannot be afford by few parents. [Rs.50 per month]I like the materials which makes me to put off my stress. I am implementing all the pattern of learning in my life also. I feel I am the mother of many children and I have the responsibility. Spiritually we have evolved a lot. Along with the school my family is also evolving especially in conserving the energy. My husband assists much to my work.My harsh approach to my son has changed. I have allowed my son to study on his own and he is doing well. I have stopped stressing my son. I felt my son must have studied in this system in his young age. So now I do conceptual teaching at home for him.
I am lost in the beauty of working pattern of very young children. I am happy in working here. My husband is more pride about this work and he supports a lot. Montessori training was very easy because pracrtically I got the chance to observe the concepts of Dr.Montessori when I learned. I love to teach sounds through sand paper letters which is the most effective stressless learning euipment. I am crazy in presenting sand paper letters. Panchabootha concepts made even my son and me to stop wasting many essential things.'' -.
Ms. Sasikala - Teacher [B.Sc, B.Ed]
''Immediately after my education I joined here. I can see obvious difference in the way of presenting concepts in Montessori - Uni5 pattern of education. The center gave me depth training which brought many inner-transformations. I am able to understand much about children. After marrage and delivery again I joined here with my first son. His development is very unique. Now I have given birth to second child and I underwent the second pregnancy with much more awareness than the first time in school. I worked here till last week of 9 months. I have learned many things through children. Panchabootha teaching made me aware about energy conservation.I am also making my child aware about this. My family members can understand the essence of this education and used to praise about this center. The teaching experience has made me to handle two children of my own. Now I am undergoing this course from home after delivery. I wish many more children of my village must be benifited by the center.My prayers for the center. It is a great reward for me as a teacher to work here.''
Ms.Jothy [our helper]
''I am unable to take rest even when I was sick because this center attracts me much. I am the very first helper. I have learned much about children's tendencies. I am taught how to approach a child to assist. Every child is different. When children address me as ''mother'' and ''aunty'' I am very much happy. Eduaction is different here. I feel it is natural and more scientific. I have changed a lot. We have no discrimination as teachers and helpers. I have the awareness about my own responsibility. I have handled a big issue with my teen age son through the maturity which has been gained through this system. I love to come here and I got much exposure to world. I am a villager who does not know much about outer world. Love with care is very important. I have learned to forgive and adjust to the family people after looking at the children. I am respected by this village for working here.''
Ms. Maheswari - [helper] ,Feb 2013
''I joined here as a helper after seeing my children's development. Now they have gone for higher grades. I want to thank the trust for giving me the good education in very low fees. My husband goes to pluck sosonuts in locality and I come here as a helper. I wish to render the lovable care to many children. I am happy here than in my home. I have no stress. I have no exposure even in going to a shop. In these years I have gained good confidence in facing the society. I can handle any thing now. Evety day my children have lot of questions about my school work as they have studied here. My short temporment has changed and I have reduced my anger. I used to reinsist many concepts agin to my children and try to maintain the order of work at home also. Helping the children in toilet habits was very much stressful for me in the begining, but today when I assist a child in toilet that removes the selfishness and makes me pure. I feel this is divine service. I am now more aware about children. I wish to present anything good for them. This center is respecting all religions and celebrating all festivals with good communal harmony which is very much needed for this village. I enjoy all festivals and I am a part of it. Like me if any parent understands this concept of learning and child care they can be stressless. The center has given chance for many women to take a job. Children's selfless love makes me to forget my personal problems. I does not like to stay at home in holidays.
Ms.Amudha - [helper], Feb 2013
''I put 2 of my daughters here. Now they ahve gone to higher grades. I am undergoing my third pregnancy with more awreness and stressless in this center. I hope my third child will be much more aware about many things through this style of pregnancy. After seeing my first daughter's develoment I was longing to join here to work. My internal transformations will have its own impact with the new child. I am slowly presenting materials. I am also following many things which has been taught here in my home. I am also continuing to teach further at home to my children. I am happy here than in home. My home situations are very tough. This center has reduced my stress. The center taught me many cultural, traditional and spiritual concepts. I am ignoring people who iltreat me but I never regret them. I am able to face any people. I can accept them now.I wish to continue till the previous day of my delivery. I also thank the center for allowing me to take leave when ever I have family and social commitment''. -
