| Parent-Teacher meeting at Kalleda |
Community involvement is very important to the RDF family. Every school has a village committee with monthly meetings to discuss recent achievements or problems in the school as well as giving suggestions for improvement. Parents and village members of the committee come to the forefront when any issue needs addressing such as staff and student attendance, parental cooperation, and the collection and purchasing of food supplies. Outstanding fees are also addressed during these meetings.
One recent success of parents in Matendla was the recovery of a stolen laptop. More than one hundred parents gathered to discuss how to find the laptop without involving the police. Through a strong sense of community and a fierce stand for honesty, the laptop was returned in perfect condition to the school.
