Students’ Learning from Partnership
… we learnt to see life…in a different light. We may have failed once or twice academically or have a lot of problems in our life that could be causing us much pain and suffering, but these are nothing compared to the challenges the Lighthouse school students face every minute in their daily lives. We have realized that the one and main obstacle in our life is the big ‘ME’. Instead of comparing ourselves to the more fortunate people, thinking of the lesser fortunate sure will help us consider our problems small and appreciate life even more.”
