Guruji Education Foundation
Arpita Desai - Coordinator
The Guruji Education Foundation works to fund one hundred high-potential students annually to help in their holistic development, using education as a foundational block for their growth. We provide a bedrock of personal mentorship, financial assistance, and other resources, setting them up for success so that one day they might continue in our cycle of giving, inclusivity, and change. Since this is one of the mission of TAP Charity Inc. TAP has made a donation of six thousand dollars in the first year and pledge to continue its support this foundation.
We believe that almost every individual on the planet has good intentions. We come across many individuals who want to embark on social activities along with their college friends / alumni groups. In the most cases, the noble intentions don't translate into any concrete activity. The TAP is an exception. This is the first group where we could see the difference. The group systematically studied the landscape, identified their domains, and started making differences. Kudos to the group and its leaders Prasanna.
As a part of the systematic study, they also identified areas in which they want to make difference. They call it as Talent, Time, and Treasure. Thus, they not only provide the financial support but also their time and talent to nurture underprivileged students' talents, which is our Guruji Education Foundation's charter. We also come across some funding agencies with a shade of arrogance in their approaches. The TAP is above all such tendencies and all its volunteers come across as very friendly and caring individuals.
The TAP takes care of its partners by allocating one of their members to nurture the partner and the relationship. Our relationship is managed by a TAP member - Ms. Arpita Desai. She has understood Guruji Education Foundation's work and its stakeholders very well and has been giving many useful suggestions to help us reach our goal in an optimum and effective way.

I am personally enjoyed last class firstly there is hesitation of speaking with others because all are unfamiliar with each other, but we will improve.

It was very great and interesting our first class. . First of all my confidence is increased and I was speak freely .Me and my friends actively participated in class and tried to spoke .we knew about new words from sir.

Our first session was great. Most of the students went through inferiority complex. Due to such inferiority complex most of the friends stuck during the time of interaction. Main reason of that was we are focusing on grammar. We are get such platform where no one judging you.

Yesterday's meeting was very nice. I realise about me that I have known about what I want to say but I didn't get English words of that particular instant of time. This thing was happening with me and my friends also.
- Sagar
The first meeting was great and interesting. Everybody tried to speak about their opinion on the given situation or questions. And we are at the same level to learn and speak confidently so it's good to learn from mistakes. I realised that I need to work more to speak correctly and with efficiency
- Ravi
On the first day sir surprised everyone that one of us would be with sir. Then I got a bit scared as to who will be with Sir and what to do next. But sir called Ajit's name and I thought I am off the hook but in the second moment Sir called my name but after talking to Ajit my fear was reduced. I really liked this way of learning. And also, on the first day everyone spoke well.
- Vicky
Our first meeting was really awesome. We got a chance to speak English. And in that session, we meet new students in our foundation, and we know about each other. Everyone gave their best while the conversation, even though that was the first time.
- Sukanya
Our First meeting was very good and Interesting. It was very nice to got a chance of speak something. Personally, I would like to work as a co-leader with you. In this session, everybody tried to speak English, and Piyush sir encouraged them to speak more. In everyone's mind little hesitate was present hence we can't speak properly. I really really like to learn English this way.
- Ajit
The first meeting was very nice & interesting. Every student tried to speak very well. First time I was unconfident. But after some time in lecture sir ask me about my experience for that day. That time I was scared, but after some time I was comfortable.

Thank you Arpita for working with Guruji to uplift the needy children
