29th September 2008

The last Saturday (27^th September 2008) we were following on the bank account creation. Unfortunately we couldn't complete it as the vendor from whom we ordered seal (which is a must for the process) was not able to deliver on Saturday. The shop was closed. Vinay went to the seal shop today (29^th September 2008) also but the shop was not open. So more time here

That's the activity over last week. If there are anything's that can be shared or any comments/suggestions, kindly put them forward

22nd September 2008

On Saturday, Vinay and I went to the bank to create the bank account. We were ready with the seal and other documents. We met the manager of the bank who further suggested a few more requirements. We need to make three 'for' seals – For President, For Managing Trustee and For Joint Managing Trustee. Also there is a suggestions to slightly modify the resolution.

We shall have the seal's ready, do the changes by this week and shall try again

Meet

It will be a good opportunity if we all meet each other and it's important that we do so. One approach would be that all friends in Chennai can meet among themselves. Similarly all friends in Bangalore can meet among themselves and all friends in Hyderabad can meet among themselves. This will be a wonderful opportunity for all to interact and discuss on our initiative, put forward ideas, suggest practices and processes which can be followed and much more

Awaiting comments/inputs here

A Success story

15th September 2008

Dear All,

Last week day, Vinay got our Saktyavesh seal ready which is a must for bank account creation. We are now working on further processes

On Saturday (13th September 2008), Ananth, Sankar, Nandhini, Shilpa and I went to the school. We had got some books – Cursive writing in English (140 in number) and ruled books (51 in number) – worth Rs 5204.25. Once at the school, we interacted with the children, watching them play snake and ladders (which we donated on our last visit) and talking to them and getting to know their talents

After, the children left for the day, we had a detailed discussion with the Teachers. Discussing with them on bring more children to the school from adjoining areas and also retaining the interest of the children who are already coming to school and many more topics. Thanks to Shilpa who knew Kannada, interacting with the Teachers in detail was not a problem

There were suggestions on how to get books and conduct activities which are mentally refreshing and leave the children with a happy and learning experience

The Teachers also invited us to teach/interact with the children when possible

Attached are a few snaps. Nandhini was the photographer for the day :-)

If there are any other suggestion, do feel free to write back

Website feedbacks

On Sunday, Ananth and I got down to analyzing feedbacks received. The attached word file has the consolidated data from many of us. Kindly let know if there are any suggestions/comments or questions

We have a Admirer

On our blog we have got an appreciation from one Mr. Deepesh. Scroll to the bottom of the link -> http://saktyavesh.blogspot.com/2008/09/21st-april-2008.html

This should surely motivate us to work better
