Chinmayee, a 2020 ThinkZone Fellow from Kendrapara has been teaching children for more than 4 years now. Chinmayee has taken on new responsibilities and is now mentoring the current batch of fellows as master trainer.
Chinmayee believes that a woman needs to be financially independent which will make her confident to support herself and her family. The environment that empowers her at ThinkZone aligns with her ideologies and the extra income from teaching children in her community along with taking training has also made her self-independent.
In her own words, she says “ThinkZone’s initiative of social development through education inspired me the most to join the fellowship program. I like the process because it comes with a fresh approach to teaching kids, breaks the conventional student-teacher relationship, and most significantly focuses on understanding a child other than the marks.
