28 July 2008

On Saturday 26^th July 2008, Athiraj, Sakthivel, Venkat, Yogitha, Vinay and I went to the school. We had got 7 more mats costing Rs 2500 and donated them to the school. The Teacher had specifically asked for mats to Vinay during a conversation – may be because of the cold climate

Once at school, after giving the mats the Teachers there had a surprise for us. All the students sat in one class room and we were made to sit in front of the class. The students then gave a presentation of their skills like singing, dance and rhymes. They Teachers motivated the students taking us as examples. That was a surprise for us and not to say we were really happy at the energy levels the children displayed J

Later we had a meeting with the Teachers and Councilor. The discussion was centered on how to improve the school. The staffs there are forth coming and willing to help the students. The Head Mistress asked for teaching aids like globe and charts from us

If you have any specific suggestion on improving the school, kindly pass it on – it may help in the students and schools betterment

Here is an update from Chennai.

Last week I and Vivek met and had discussion for an hour. I am listing out the things discussed.

• Already an organization like ours by the employees of Polaris in Chennai are doing great job of conducting the exam and top 10 will be given books, uniform and stationary need for the education , we can also think in such a activities may be not exactly the same.

• Picking up students from the corporation schools and giving them the awareness and skills need to shine in their life like Personality development, communication and other classes required for the life which is not thought in the school.

• Educating them the importance of the simple thing but important to life like following Traffic rules and many other things to make the younger generation healthy in thinking.

I spoke to Another Person Swaminathan. Already he is doing a great job in Chennai. He get the helps of youths who is working and studying and he making them to take class to the students in the very Poor area. I visited one such class. That is not exactly the class but children’s are engaged with some moral things. They have been taken class about the Ramayanam , Mahabharatam and Freedom fighters. The youths who come here are really coming out of their won interest and not with any money motive.

I met one more person whose name is Nathan Sharama. He is organizing the things in the place where I visited. He has given some request to us.

• To help the students to earn them selves and to study: That’s we have to help them to get some part time job. Its all small works through that they can earn some money for their family like candle making.
• To pay for a tuition Master: There are around 50 students. He wants to take tuition to those students.
