Character Teaching

Character Teaching in India
In February, 2007, Lee Havis held a series of
meetings in Mumbai and Bangalore, India to
discuss the Character Teaching (CT) project in
that country. In Bangalore, he met with K.R.
Dharmadhikary (Lok Sevak Sangh, New Delhi)
and Indrani Roy and Smita Kalappa of Smile
Foundation. In Mumbai, Lee met with Ganesh
Sharma and other members of the board of
Yash Creative Education Trust (Ahmednagar,
Maharashtra). (see photo)

In 2008, Dr. Meera Singh (New Delhi) joined
the CT consultation board, promising to contact
government officials and local NGO’s to gain
their interest and participation. Lee says that
New Delhi would be ideal for the initial
consultation visit, since it is the country’s
center of national government, and near to
neighboring Pakistan where other CT board
members are actively working for the project
in that country.
