We have now got a new friend among ourselves. Introducing Shri. Raghavendra (in cc). For our project we were looking for an advisor, who can help us with our balance sheet preparation at the end of ourcurrent financial year and thanks to Amar, we have now a friend in Raghavendra. He works for India times, Bangalore. Happy to have you Raghavendra and looking forward for a valuable partnership Good news. Over the last week, the computer which was due for servicing at the school has been done. With this, the students and staff shall have access to a good amount of teaching materialsupplied by the Shri. Azim Premji foundation, and other people alike. Vinay had contacted a freelancer and got this up and running for Rs 350. There was also a new keyboard given. But we did not get the bill for this, as this technician was a freelancer On Saturday, I had been to the bank and met the manager. I showed him our registered Trust Deed (It is also called Bylaw). In our deed document, we did mention that two people shall operate the account. It will be Vinay from Bangalore and Prakash from Chennai. For this we have to draw a resolution among ourselves stating our intentions and the way we shall operate. But we have to get Prakash’s signature on it and hence the document has to travel to Chennai. We need the address proof of the person who shall be operating the account, photo id proof and one color photograph. Hopefully, we shall have this up and running by next week On Sunday, we – Vinay, Nandhini, Venkat and I – met in Bangalore to discuss on our action items The major tasks pending were è Bank account - we are clear on this and we have to act now. Fill in the document, draw a resolution and submit è Website – Spoke to Kalyan the last week, and he was of the opinion that we should not have been waiting this long. We shall decide on this and shall finalize this week è Money to the lawyer – we are yet to pay Rs 1500 to the lawyer who helped us with the registration. When we went for the first time, the lawyer was not available and Vinay called the lawyercouple of days back and was unable to get an appointment. Hopefully this should be closed by this week è Water Purifier – the water purifier we gave is unable. But they are unable to use it as they need an over head tank – say Sintex. I need to check this with the near by service center. Shall keep you all informed (any information on this from anyone?) è School Contribution – we decided that from the list which the Teacher gave us, we shall first buy some mats (7 to be precise) which was the most basic of things needed as of now. We did check out with a couple of local dealers. The lowest quotation obtained was Rs 350. We shall purchase a few this weekday and donate è Logo/Motto – we have samples for our logo and motto. We have still not decided on this. Long time now. But we are in the process. Shall keep you all updated. If there are any suggestionsfrom your end, kindly put across è Any new school/place – there was an opinion that we can check with other schools as well.But with our current resource, we shall not be able to help other schools. Also, the majority of the opinion was that we can provide the basic things to this school that we are involved in and then move to other school è Balance Sheet – Vinay have been receiving money, to his account for our Saktyavesh. If you have transferred money and not sent a mail, kindly send a mail to Vinay mentioning the amount and your identity. It will help us prepare our balance sheet. Vinay shall update us in a couple of days We also need books (for classes till 5th) and games for similar age children which were on the requirement list from the Teacher. Nandhini came up with a bright idea to have this circulated among our friends and collect if there are any. It will be great if you contact your friends/relatives/know people who can donate books/toys/games for children till class 5 Another bright idea from her was – if we are living in apartment we can speak to the association and have a notice put up. I spoke to one person at my place and he said we can have a drop box near the security and a notice in the notice board. Another idea will be to go from apartment to apartment and circulate a pamphlet. It will be a good idea if we have our website up and running before this This same idea was given by Karthick a few months back, there you go Karthick Let’s hope we collect a good number of valuable items – books, toys, games etc… That’s the information we want to share @ Vinay, Nandhini, Venkat, Kindly add, update if I have missed any information from our discussion Do let know if there is any information that can be shared between us Feel free to share this mail/message with interested organization and individuals ----------------------------- Below is the Regarding the Website
I just got an idea. Whether can we have a website which is dynamic – like in the morning we have the sun rise, in the afternoon we have bright sun and in the evening we have sun set and in the night we have stars
I checked with Kalyan and he said it is possible
Can we have this? Are there any better suggestions or ideas
We shall have a minimum content on our website at the earliest by this weekend and we can then upload and keep refining it
Looking forward for your views here
