Teaching Staff

The Headmaster gathered all teaching staff a week before school reopened to plan the upcoming term and recruit new teachers. Key discussions included the annual "Door-to-Door" campaign, where staff visit homes to promote the Sponsorship Program funded by Glocal Aid and Zinzino Foundation. This campaign targets underprivileged families in Karwi, informing them about the affordable, quality education available at Ebenezer School. Staff were divided into mixed-gender groups, visiting new areas to maximize outreach. Despite the heat, teachers returned with positive experiences, ready to continue the campaign over several days.

With new enrollments complete, the school distributed essential equipment to students, including textbooks, stationery, and backpacks. District Youth Welfare Officer Mr. Shailesh Kumar Upadhyay honored outstanding students by distributing equipment, highlighting the ongoing support from Glocal Aid and Zinzino Charity. Mr. Upadhyay praised the school’s efforts and the quality of the provided materials.

The event concluded with a message from the Headmaster and a special address by CFO Mr. Abhilash Ram, emphasizing the importance of independence and national pride.
