“You have to dream before your dreams can come true” - Dr. A. P. J Abdul Kalam
We have dreamt and we have worked on our dreams to make it come true. It’s one fine year gone by since we registered Saktyavesh. We thank each sincere soul who were expressing support and continue to do so, silently or otherwise, right throughout or at any single moment. We thank the parents and all the near and dear ones who knowingly or unknowingly inspire us to work for a better world. Thank you all and congratulations to each of us!!! May we work to the best of our capabilities to make positive differences to this world with the highest level sincerity, transparency and integrity
Below is a brief update –
Our work till now
Currently we have partnered with two Schools – G. L. P. S. Vibhuthipura School in Bangalore and National Primary School in Chennai. We identified these Schools after looking into their needs. After getting the confidence of the staff, we have started to conduct activities at respective Schools – activities like Teaching and games. We have donated note books, drawing books, story books, games etc…. Till date we have spent Rs. 11,573.75 in donations for Bangalore School and Rs 10,555 for Chennai School. All these were made materially and no cash was handed to any of the Schools. Totally we have spent Rs 22,128.75 on the Schools
Activities and Events held last year at the School
Successfully conducted sports events in both Bangalore and Chennai Schools
Started with Teaching activity at Bangalore School
Major milestones and Key Moments
