Rural Reconstruction Upper Primary (R.R.U.P.) School was established in 1936 in the village of Ullannur in the southern Indian state, Kerala. The school was started as part of a rural development effort headed by the late visionary Sri. M.K.Varghese, the first graduate from that village. R.R.U.P. began as a vocational school with students learning trades such as bee keeping, weaving, poultry farming, book binding, carpentry, and agriculture, to name a few. Following the Second World War, the school shifted to a more traditional education system and remains that way today. R.R.U.P. is a private school with a current student body of about 50-60 students from low-middle income families. Unlike schools that charge tuition, R.R.U.P. is free for students to attend, but because of this, it is not an English medium school, which is why the need for volunteer English teachers is high. In today’s global economy, to obtain a job outside of their small village, a good grasp of the English language is a necessity for the students. The students’ primary language is Malayalam and their English level is low to medium, but they are well-behaved, respectful, and extremely eager to learn. Come join the welcoming Indian teachers at R.R.U.P. and help make a difference in these children’s lives!

I like to be part of this group.How can i contact you
I’m a MBA student. I would like to help.
I have much experience in teaching ESL, and almost taught in or near Kerala three years ago.
I will be in Delhi and other major cities in India, and have thoughts of visiting for 1-2 days at your school,
to teach, share for a few hours and perhaps stay at your facility.
Thank you.

Dear Barbara,
Please let me know if you like to revisit Kerala.

I have been teaching in Thailand as a volunteer for several years, I am thinking of visiting Kerala soon and I thought why break the habit, I normally get the students involved with IT and fix up things like zip wires, and making science projects.
Dear Stephen,
Please let me know if you are still interested to visit Kerala.
