#Donate4Inventors - Your each and every contribution will help the kids in the journey of an excellent education!
About Us
The class room of IV A at the Chennai Corporation Middle School, MGR Nagar includes 37 charming and highly talented children from an underprivileged community. The class has been named as 'Inventors' because of the interest and aspiration of the children to explore and learn about the things around them by drawing inspiration from the various discoveries and inventions in the world.
"All the IV A Inventors will be empathetic, passionate and confident leaders of tomorrow who can respectfully communicate with others and overcome their own problems by action and inspiration."
