Muskaan School, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India

Muskaan Support, Australia Inc.
In 2008-09 Marion Hadingham was a volunteer teacher at Muskaan while her husband Kevin was working on a project with the Public Works Department of Madhya Pradesh in Bhopal.
Marion is an experienced teacher across primary education, special education and adolescent health and welfare. She was very impressed by the focus of Muskaan on achieving positive education outcomes for disadvantaged children from the slums through the development of relevant curriculum reflecting the realities of life experiences in the slums and delivered using engaging, child-centred teaching methods.
Since inception, Muskaan has a proven track record at all levels. Over the past 3 years, 62 children have appeared for Board examinations and the numbers are growing each year. Several students have progressed to vocational training courses and successfully entered the skilled workforce. Six students are now studying bachelor degrees at colleges.
Marion returned to Australia with a passion to mobilise support for the wonderful work of Muskaan, making a difference in the lives of these children, their families and their communities.
Muskaan Support Australia Inc. has been established by Marion and Kevin, together with others sharing the vision, to raise Australian support for Muskaan's programs and the building of a dedicated campus in Bhopal.
