"Ma'am meri copy kitaab khatam hogyi. School mein naya session shuru hogya hai. Ghar udhaari se chal raha hai. Mummy kehti hai stationery ke liye paisa nahi hai. Pehle roti banani zaroori hai. Humare phone pe whatsapp nahi hai, school ki padhai miss ho rahi hai." (1/n)
(Ma'am my notebooks are over. The new session in school has begun. Home is being run on debt. Mother says, we don't have money for stationary/education. Food is 1st priority. Our mobile doesn't have whatsapp (it's not a smartphone). I am missing out on my education.) (2/n)
She called us, and we coordinated the effort, our frontline workers bought 3 sisters 18 registers wd some stationary (6 subjects each) for their new sessions. We opened our digilab for an hour to provide 3 sisters access to downloading & printing relevant school material. (3/n) 
Sometimes as grassroots organizations working on problems with mandates with large numbers, simple anecdotes like these push & inspire us to be at frontlines everyday. With a supporter we also got cash transfer initiated along with dry ration for this family for 30 days. (4/n)
#StoryThread Learning shouldn't stop. #Education shouldn't stop. Not everyone has easy access to digital classrooms. Let's understand what a child at last mile would need to not be left behind during #COVID19. @HundrEDorg @ad4justice @Meetasengupta @debjani_ghosh_ @DCPCR @dasra
Equity has to be put at the center of all work. We need to ask, how do we maximize learnings for girls who'll be dropping out of schools or be pushed into work to take care of families' economic burden. Can everything be possible @ click of a new app? Or do we need to #bemore?
