Dream India Disaster Management Sessions for Coporation School Children - Update

Dear All,

"Mugavari" Ramesh brother and Sanjeevi bro visited corporation office last week of December and got approval from our Worshipful Mayor for the sessions.

During the discussion with Education officer we were told permission for 3 - 4 hours session would be difficult as students are already on a tight deadline. We have requested approval for at least one period i.e 40 mins.

We have been asked to give a revised letter and specific schools whom we plan to target. We are in the process of getting the approval for this list. We should be through with this in the coming week.

Will keep you all updated on the project. 

Regards,

Dream India

Dream India - Updates on Projects Planned post Chennai Floods

Dear Friends,

We are closely monitoring the relief/rehab work being carried by Government and other NGOs in Chennai. We are also in the process of discussing our next steps towards the same.

Currently most of us (the NGOs) are involved in the assessment phase of rehab. Dream India's strength has always been our connect to education system. 

We work closely with children of corporation and government schools and been doing that for close to about 10 years now.

Action2020 team has expressed complete support for all the projects listed below. All these projects will be executed as Action2020 projects.

We would like to thank singer, song-writer Mr. Amith Sivashanmugam for helping Dream India by donating the revenue from his Album #SongForChennai.

We are currently thinking on following projects to be carried out,

Project 1 - A

Scholarships for students from Chennai. We plan to provide scholarship for students who complete their higher secondary this year from Chennai.

Criteria and the number of students to be provided are being discussed. 

Project 1 - B

Scholarships for students from Cuddalore. We plan to provide scholarship for students who complete their higher secondary this year from Cuddalore.

Criteria and the number of students to be provided are being discussed. 

Project 2

We are planning to conduct "Disaster Management" sessions for corporation and government school children. We will be starting with Chennai.

The sessions will be designed to enlighten the children and will be informative as well fun to learn.

We plan to have a small booklet printed on the same and distributed.

We are working with professionals and officials on this. 

Project 3

Dream India will conduct sessions on "Disaster Management", "Health", "First Aid" and various other important topics every quarter. 

Participants will have to pay a fee and attend these sessions. Target audience are students and professionals from various other industries who are not aware of the topics.

DI trustees, Friends and Well wishers are providing inputs and we will get back with clear updates on all of these at the earliest.

We thank you all for the confidence in Dream India. We will ensure that each of your contribution is used for the needy as we ever do.

Thank you.
