Actress Tina Philip's Christmas spirit doesn't end on December 25. For her, the festive season is a reminder to keep the spirit alive throughout the year. She dedicates her mornings to teaching underprivileged children, a routine she started a year ago. Tina, who teaches math and science to fourth-standard students, has been inspired by their intelligence and eagerness to learn. The classes, held on a pavement in Goregaon, are part of an initiative started by 82-year-old Ramesh uncle, who has been running the school for 26 years. Initially hesitant to share her work online, Tina was encouraged by a friend to post about her initiative. The response was overwhelming, with many people visiting the school and supporting the kids with gifts and essentials. Tina credits her parents, a teacher and an educator, for instilling in her a sense of responsibility to make a difference in society. She believes in teaching the children 'how to fish' rather than just giving them 'the fish,' ensuring their entire family benefits. As a familiar face from television, Tina's bond with the children has grown stronger. They recognize her from her shows and express their affection through letters, drawings, and handmade cards. This Christmas, Tina surprised the kids with a thoughtful gift – clothes they like. For her, it's not about gaining anything in return, but about helping them reach their full potential. She envisions a future where these children build successful lives, and it would be her greatest achievement. Tina's dedication to teaching underprivileged children is a testament to her commitment to keeping the Christmas spirit alive year-round. Her selfless efforts have inspired many, and her initiative continues to grow, making a lasting impact on the lives of these young students.
