Neha Ravindra Patil is a Std 5 student of the Asdol School in Shalala, which is Dhule district, Maharashtra. Prior to the implementation of the Aflatoun Programme in her school, Neha was very shy and an introvert by nature. The Aflatoun Programme, where through fun games, activities, songs and workbooks, children are encouraged to take an active role in the learning process, brought about a significant change in her nature. Her self-confidence increased, she was willing to express herself more often and her communication skills developed. This resulted in Neha taking greater initiative in the school programmes. Neha also saved money in her schools Aflatoun Bank. She used the money saved (Rs 120/-) to learn to repair her brothers old bicycle. She eventually repaired her brother’s bicycle and now uses it on a daily basis to commute.
