Dream India completes five years

Hi Friends,

As an organisation, we have completed five glorious years this January. Started way back in the winter of 2005 in a crummy room in Mumbai, we have now grown into a strong team of dedicated people, sharing the vision of a developed India.

We thank all those who have been supportive of us and have guided us during the tough times. We thank all our students who have made wonderful improvements over the years and have made us proud. We thank our leader Dr APJ Kalam for inspiring us from time to time by taking time off to meet us frequently.

We rededicate ourselves to this cause and pledge both our time and effort in making India a great nation!

Jai Barath!

Student performances in DI

Dear Friends,

I take great pride and joy in sharing this good news with you all. Our students, rather I should say our younger sisters, Fathima [ Seventh semester 74% ] and Bhuvaneswari [ 3rd semester 88.5% ] have scored excellent marks and have made us all proud.

The marks they have scored is the proof for their wonderful commitment to the cause and zeal to be on the top always. I am sure they would soon achieve their desire to be self reliant and not just bring DI possible only for their family, but also to very many families similar to theirs. 

Deepambigai - Student at Anna University whom we are supporting has scored  75% in her 6th semester. Our student Ponni as usual has come out with flying colors scoring 74%. She stands joint third in department.

In addition, Ponni also has cleared OCA with 71%. If you remember, we took the decision to support Ponni for this exam with complete faith that she would clear it. She has proved her worth.

Please join me in congratulating all these students in their stupendous educational achievements.

Regards,

Natarajan

Road safety competition in Chennai

Hi All,

Partnering with ArriveSafe, Dream India conducted a drawing competition for children in the Government school in Valasarawakkam, Chennai on the 1st of November. Though we did not get selected for the final round, the kids did extremely well and  managed to bring out the best of their knowledge by way of drawings. The volunteers used this opportunity to thrust the importance of good traffic culture, to the kids. The drawings can be seen below

Children's Day Celebrations 2009 - Adyar, Chennai

Dear Friends,

On Nov 14th, we had a fun filled Children's day celebration at Adyar school.

The event started with explaining some facts about Nehru ji & his family tree. Students were asked to speak few sentences in English about Children's day. Then, both 8th & 9th students were combined & grouped into 3 teams.

The first event was 'Dumb Charades'. It was really entertaining when the students were trying to do some action about the personality. They were taught to break up the name of a person & then to explain. They really enjoyed it.

Next event was 'Man Hunt'. Students were explained about the rules of the game & personalities were given for each team in tandem. Though there was chaos in raising questions by the kids, towards the end they understood the game well.

Lot of enthu was displayed by the students. Chocolates were distributed to the kids.

Two Students from each team was given the prize for their active participation in the event.

All the kids were gifted with a yellow colored Smiley ball as children's day gift.

Navaneethan, a 9th standard student was given gift & round of applause for being the Overall best student for this year. Few other students were mentioned for their merits.

The day was really memorable for the students as well for volunteers.

Thanks & Regards
