Educational support for books and bus charge

Dear Friends,

As you all know, along with 2 other like minded friends, we have been supporting Ponni's education. Our team is also taking care of her sister Ramya's education.

We have been sending bus charge of Rs.1300 every month. Starting February, we would do this officially through dream India. We also sent Rs.1565 for her semester books. Please find the project reports attached for both the projects.

Ponni and her sister Ramya would definitely make us proud. All the best to them.

Regards,

Kaakkum Karangal visit - February

Dear Friends,
As planned, our friends visited KK on Sunday and served dinner to the residents of the old age home. These days only the paati's live there. The male residents have been shifted to different home nearby. We served them chappati's, coffee and banana's. We spent some time talking to them. All of them liked the food very much, especially the superb coffee. We have booked 15th, March 2009 for our next dinner visit.On Feb 11th, 2009, we provided lunch for the children of special school Vasantham.

We also managed to take a few snaps of the Adyar class. "Kalam" Nagappan, Manivendan and Ponumdi from YHM had come this weekend to conduct a special session on Astronomy for the children.

Dream India provides partial support for B.Ed course

Dear Friends,

We got to know about a student Ms.Sumathi doing her B.Ed course at Chennai through our partner organization India Sudar. Upon verifying the details of the student, we decided to support the student by paying Rs.10,000 towards college fee.

I had spoken to her on phone day before to know the details. I also checked with the college to verify the details mentioned. I met Sumathi last evening at my office. She came in person to collect the DD. She also had checks from our partner groups Helping minds and Saaral.

She promised to study well and keep us posted with updates on her progress. On behalf of Dream India and partner organizations, I wished her all the very best and complete support when I handed over the DD.

Let us hope to assist many more such deserving students in future. Thanks to our partner organizations as always.

Additional teacher deployed at Vallam Village School

Dear Friends,

We got to know about the Vallam village school requirements through our partner organization India Sudar. We have already deployed one teacher at this school. Ravi from India Sudar visited the school recently and gave a very positive feedback about the progress made by the teacher.

Upon further discussion, we felt having one more additional teacher at this school would really help. So we decided to deploy an additional teacher Ms.Susaritha at this school for the current academic year.

Thanks to Ravi and India Sudar for letting us know about this requirement.
