it start with play-acting teaching his friends and then he realise that these children will have never learn to read and write if they don't have proper lessons he told to the BBC reporter.
he himself still studying at the Raj Govinda school where he have to ride for 10 km and a couple of kilometers walk and have wake up as earliest as 6 o'clock in the morning.
"It's not easy for me to come to school because I live so far away… but the teachers are good and I love learning," he says in his neat blue and white uniform.
"And my parents believe I must get the best education possible that's why I am here."
you know what..?? his parent have pay for $40 a year to admit Babar to that school which is most of villagers are cannot afford that small amount of money. owh..how lucky i am...really2 lucky..but still ponteng class olso..
Babar Ali taught 800 children at his family backyard after arriving at home around 4 pm with other 10 volunteers teacher who also student at school or college. He, ring the bell to summons all his pupils, standing on a podium act as the headmaster in his unofficial school and the pupils line up sing the national anthem then he begin lecture them about discipline and then start the lesson. Babar Ali gives lessons just the way he has heard them from his teachers.
The school has been recognised by the local authorities, it has helped increase literacy rates in the area, and Babar Ali has won awards for his work.
The youngest children are just four or five, and they are all squeezed in to a tiny veranda. There are just a couple of bare electric bulbs to give light as lessons stretch into the evening, and only if there is electricity.
And then the monsoon rain begins. Huge drops fall as the children scurry for cover, slipping in the mud. They crowd under a piece of plastic sheeting. Babar Ali shouts an order. Lessons are canceled for the afternoon otherwise everyone will be soaked. Having no classrooms means lessons are at the mercy of the elements.
The children climb onto the porch of a nearby shop as the rain pours down. Then they hurry home through the downpour. Tomorrow they'll be back though. Eight hundred poor children, unable to afford an education, but hungry for anything they can learn at Babar Ali's school.- BBC NEWS
the most notable is, he gave all the education for free, the government only provides funds for midday meal and books and for the expenses he has to depend on donations. He, however, hopes for better support in the coming years so he can make all his fellow students and village kids literate, and able to stand on their own feet.
