Curiosity Rules!

"A sense of curiosity is nature's original school of education"

"Beyond the Book" is an organization that promotes holistic learning while relaying the message, "learning can be fun!" Through an applicative learning process, we help students in Indian villages look beyond the bookish knowledge by applying it to the real world. 

We visit village students in grades 1-10 in the Sindhudurga district of Maharashtra, India and conduct workshops to develop these skills. In the workshop, we donate various supplies that promote the overall development of the children. Whether it be sports equipment, art supplies, or scientific gadgets, we provide it all. These provisions are made through the generous donations that we receive. During the workshop, we show and interact with the kids to teach them how to use the supplies we provide as well as bring forward the applicative messages that they relay.

Apart from being wildly satisfying for us, this week long workshop awakens the hidden curiosity that each of these children has. This curiosity goes a long way, giving the usually confined students the ability to have a dream, question, and have thoughts that reach far beyond the boundaries of their village.

Mission Statement
