thiruvallam, Kerela, India
The DREAMS chapter in Thiruvallam was founded in 2018 with Prof. Sheeba as the co-founder. After fruitful meetings, Prof. Sheeba had brought in some of her colleagues for the initial meetings. The students from B.Ed Teachers’ Training College, Christ Nagar, and Christ College, Vizhinjam has entered into the program as community volunteers later on. Children from underprivileged communities in Poonthura region have been endorsed as the beneficiaries of the program since its inception. Since the program volunteers are mostly teacher trainees, those children are also receiving extra-benefits through the implementation of active teaching and learning pedagogy. The project has been serving more than 32 students every year with the active support from 20 college volunteers and 8-9 senior mentors from the community since 2018.
The DREAMS Band strives towards making a positive difference in the community by utilizing their musical skills. DREAMS Band is not only an opportunity to sing and motivate the audience but also uses music as a platform to empower communities and make music of their own, which can empower children and youth holistically. It is a band with a meaning and greater goals for the benefit of the society.
Those who are interested to be a part of the band may contact the respective leaders in each locality.

I was organizing my closet and came across my DREAMS tshirt. This reminded me of how much fun I had with your students and how your volunteer team made me feel extremely welcome. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the DREAMS.

Each student came to the program with different needs, as well as different
backgrounds.
However, what was the same in each student was some level of growth in motivation,
confidence in
personal ability, self esteem,
