Venkat Poolabala goes viral.
His name is Venkat Prasad. He transformed himself into "Poolabala" ( pseudonym) and wrote numerous children's storybooks in English and Telugu for young. Later he became a polyglot peaking six foreign languages—French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and English— and served as a translator for many national and internation al organizations, wrote world's biggest books and won two world records.
Now, he has become a language warrior, paving a flowery path for children. For the past 10 years, this polyglot language warrior, has been providing free training on language skills to students in rural areas, emphasizing the importance of foreign languages.
Today, Venkat Poolabala is going viral not just for speaking six foreign languages or winning world records but for teaching them to school children for free. Telugu Fast News published an article about the 3 day free training offered in six languages. Poolabala guarantees that the children who participate in three days, can understand basics of these languages and sentence construction. He says that he would take full responsibility and even provided his phone number.
After reading this article 230,000 people read this post in a single day. 900 people responded via phone within three days. Let's hope the Government recognizes Poolabala for the noble service he is doing for society.
