23rd February 2009

We are happy to welcome Dinesh Anblazahan (based out of Bangalore), who has expressed interest in working with us. Thank you Dinesh, you strengthen our Partnership in community building

Bangalore - School Program

On 21st February 2009, we had our first major interaction with the children of the School. Starting from 08:30 am till 05:00pm events like running race, frog race, Musical chairs, lemon and spoon race, drawing competition, paragraph writing (both in Kannada and English), memory game, In & Out game, Rangoli competition were conducted for the kids of classes from First till Fifth standard. The children enjoyed the events, competed honestly and earned rewards. We also had the chance to speak to the parents of many kids - encouraging them to send their children neatly to school and send them regularly

There were prizes distributed for the first and second places for the games conducted (in most cases) and special prizes for children with good attendance and good performance

It would be next to impossible for a single individual to capture the events of the day in words. Hence request you to enjoy the snaps

It was a day well spent for the students, staff and friends (14 in number, without whom this would not have taken place)

Friends who were present for the occasion - It would be great to have your feedback regarding the event, what went right and what went wrong, all that you want to highlight about, so that we take the learning(s) forward and improve on our performance
