Wipro Cares has initiated Learning Enhancement Programs at schools catering to children from the underprivileged section of the society. The main objectives of these programs are to improve the standards of learning, building confidence, igniting curiosity and improving the ability to communicate in English. We work through a dedicated set of volunteers.

Wipro Cares currently has seven chapters:

BANGALORE CHAPTER:

	Volunteers visit St. Henrietta’s, St. Euphrasia and KRLS Patel Rama Reddy School and make a difference to the lives of the girls from ROCKFund. The volunteers help the children with regular school subjects. Apart from this, the volunteers provide these children a larger perspective of life and emotional strength. They also organize extra-curricular activities for the girls.
	At Anadaana, the volunteers get an opportunity to teach children at an orphanage through Skype. The volunteers pick a topic from the provided list, make a short lesson plan (based on already provided examples), choose a time of a day , preferably in the evenings and teach. Each session lasts for around 20-25 minutes.
	At Jalahalli School, the volunteers help the children with their school curriculum.
	At the Infant Jesus Charity Home, volunteers engage with orphans and poor children with single parent. Planned activities for these children include indoor games, singing, dancing, drawing and general knowledge sessions.
	National Federation of the Blind in Bangalore runs a hostel for visually challenged boys, who come from remote parts of Karnataka to pursue their college education in the city. The Wipro Cares’ volunteers help these students by reading and recording text books and books of general interest, typing and editing Kannada and English work, scanning the notes, assisting in assignments, teaching English grammar and spoken English, giving tips on personality development and acting as a scribe during exams
