Doiwala, As India commemorates 117th Death Anniversary of Swami Vivekanand, an icon who has been a constant source of inspiration specially to the youth, PEN-India Foundation felicitated Gauri Goyal, for her selfless act of devoting her time to teach underprivileged students of the PEN-India Foundation, Doiwala.
Gauri Goyal, a 12th standard student from Hope Town Girls’ School, Dehradun, is a resident of Bhaniawala but stays in the school boarding. Home for her summer vacation, this young girl instead of preparing for her upcoming boards or taking tuitions, contacted the authorities of the Foundation and expressed her desire to volunteer her services ath the School during the long summer break. For now, Gauri is teaching art and craft to the students of PEN-India School as well as guiding the young minds in basic social and behavioural etiquettes.
PEN-India Foundation founders, honoured Gauri Goyal with a portrait of Swami Vivekanand as a memento. Dr Prakash Keshaviah, the patron of the Foundation and a Biomedical scientist said, “the development of the society is possible only through education and youth should come forward to educate the underprivileged children.” During the event, Mr Anoop Rawat, the Founder and Chairperson of the Foundation added, “Gauri is a source of inspiration for today’s youth. She is providing activity based education for two hours daily to our students.“
Mr Santosh Budakoti, the Co-founder and Director of the Foundation stated, “it is really very inspirational that Gauri is spending her summer vacations providing education to young students, unlike other kids her age who spend their vacations doing other things.”
