Construction activitie is now going on in the School for VI and VII std. We spoke to Head In charge(Govt Lower Primary School, near Samudaya Bhavan) and she suggested that we can have Christmas and New Year Celebration in the month of January as the attendance in the school has dropped because of the holiday season. So we planned to have the Christmas and New Year Celebration in the month of Jan.
Chennai - Christmas and New Year Celebration
This was a sudden plan arranged in 2 days. After getting permission and time from the Head Master of the School(National Primary School, Pallavaram) quickly we arranged for this celebration. It was on Saturday(20.12.08) of last week. We went to the school at 9 AM and the celebration went till 1 'o clock in the afternoon.
Our plan was to conduct six games and recognize first -second place student in each game. The school staffs had planned for 1 drama and 3 dances. First we finished one game in the morning. This game was not planned before, on spot one. Then they had their drama and dances. After that we conducted only one game for class 8 th ,7 th and 6th. We could not conduct the games as per our plan, because the children's were very very naughty and we could not control them :) . They were so much active and enjoying. The place was so small and there is no separate classroom for each standard, which you can see in the picture in the link, so we could not group the students. Then we distributed the prizes to top 2 best students in each class on Curriculum basis and some prizes for overall best students to encourage. Finally sweets distribution and photo session.
Games Planed:
Various objects will be placed and it will allowed to observe for 2 mins and then students have to write the objects that was shown.
Lucky Game: Students will be given with cards which has random numbers. Some numbers will be readout, student has the maximum numbers stroked will be given prize.

Chennai:
Last week, we had a conference call meeting with the Head Teacher of the school in Chennai. This was primarily to understand the management of the school, their functioning etc... all at very detailed level
The important information is as below:
The school, National Primary School, was established more than 75 years back and is run by a trust named MPA. The trust is running two schools and few churches. This school is run in a rented building and the government gives the management a very nominal amount towards the building rent. The school is government aided, meaning the salary of the Teachers will be paid by the government. The school has an agreement with the landlord of the current site for only 2 years and after that the trust (MPA) should help the school find another rented building or a own buiding. The Teachers there are very well experienced (around 20+years and 30+ years) and it is their dedication and commitment that is keeping this school going on
After talking to the Teacher seeking clarifications and taking inputs from friends who have been there knowing the ground reality, we felt that we can go ahead helping this school
The current requirement that was said to us by the Teacher are as below
(a) repair work of the school building
(b) benches
We felt that we can go ahead and help with the least possible necessary repair work on the school building and can provide benches. The children need the benches as during the rainy season the floor gets wet and the benches can greatly help them
We have to now go about helping them with what they have asked and what/how best we can provide them
It will be great to hear from you, your suggestions and inputs. Should there be any questions, dont hesitate to raise it
Feel free to spread the message of Saktyavesh in letter and in spirit with interested individuals and organizations
