The volunters who are interested, have been actively working on some projects/activities should be involved in the board.

[tomakeadifference] ] Mehdipatnam School class room construction
Hi, here is the update. As the SSA engineer was not responding properly and the contractor who has done work till now is absconding from me, I met district collector yesterday. He spoke with S.E Mr. Bhojaraju and asked him to close it soon. Later i went to SSA office as they were calling me. SSA engineers now suggest to get the work done by another contractor but they are asking us to pay for the material cost for now. They say we debit the amount once SSA releases fund after work completion. The amount they are asking us to pay to new contractor is 20k. Actually work may cost around 30 to 50k. I am not sure of the actuals. They are suggesting to record the present work so that we do not pay extra to the new contractor. But on the other side, we have already incurred additional cost with the condition that we get it adjusted from the SSA funds. for the people who do not hv enough background, we got one installment payment from SSA around 1.4 lakh that we already paid to the contractor who has done the work till now. If members agree to proceed further to pay 20k to another contractor for the remaining work, we can proceed further. Please share your inputs. No criticism please, these guys(SSA engineers and the contractors) are real rogues and its been getting delayed because of them. I am just trying to see completion ASAP (1 or 2 weeks max) but again it depends. Thanks, Harinath
Re: [tomakeadifference] Mehdipatnam School Activity
not a negative note, but suggestion, plantation may not be good idea for mehdipatnam school kids. the area is very small and i really dont think there is scope for any plantation in the neighborhood that they can manage.

I feel giving small gifts in the competitions will improve children’s competitive spirit. Anil garu, it is really good idea to gift them seedlings and ask them to plant and take care. We will try to implement it. Before that we need to plant seeds into their minds saying importance of trees. We are in the process of that by taking regular classes regarding. One more reason is all the children in the school are from nearby slum. I have visited the slum two weeks back and I find no place to plant the trees, and even there is no place in school premises also. Santosh Garu, essay writing would be useful for 8th or 9th class students on Science topics. I agree with you. We are conducting essay writing for 5th class children on general topics. I have already given the two topics to the teachers (Nagaraju Garu and one Nandi foundation volunteer), to prepare the children accordingly. Given topics are 1. About INDIA (Which includes importance of 15th August) 2. about Uses of Trees (Environment). My intention behind these topics is these are the topics each and every child should aware. Prasanthi garu, Regarding story writing and story telling, it is good one to improve children’s creativity and these types of competitions will definitely cultivate the reading habit. We will do that. While listing all the games, we have already sorted story telling and story writing along with essay writing. Since we have very less time (only 2 weekends) to conduct all the competitions for all the classes, some games are removed. Anyways we will plan for that if time permits.

Re: [tomakeadifference] Another Govt. School - requires Help
let us fix a time and visit the school, we can get solutions for this on the spot. this seems real problem and we probably can skip the discussions and derivations etc, something that we need to act and doesn't need much financial stuff. if we need consensus or something like that let us hv a conf call or skype call to finalize the issue. count me in, how about this weekend? on this saturday?

HM is not giving permission to park the vehicles. If she retired there is more chances of occupying the school by the masque people not only that there will be no school in that premises. So, HM is asking help to protect school. Can we do any thing in this. Members i am requesting all you please respond for this at earliest. Because we have very less time.

As exams are fast approaching, this is the immediate requirement and will make a lot of difference. General: 1. IPod for each inmate (they can record and they can read) 2 C omputers in their hostels so that they can practice (DTP, MS-Office) well Aspirations 1. Media Support They want media to write about them, their talents and also about what they expect from the society. They do not want sympathy but empathy. They want to prove that they can stand on their own. They expect livelihood. 2. Job opportunities Most of them are B.Ed. and D.Ed. students. Some completed their courses and are looking for opportunities. Some are trained as tele callers and some in DTP, MS-Office etc., 3. Sports Competitions They are good at sports too. There are Chess Champions, Karate Champions and other players. They want tournaments to be conducted regularly so that they can develop their physical abilities and also leadership qualities. Those certificates would be of great value to them when they apply for govt. jobs. What we did so far!! 1. Our members Kasyap and Murali came forward to donate Computer and Speakers. Murali said that he will approach his company, Hellosoft, to donate some computers. (Earlier they contributed 5 computers to Gautami Satyagraha Ashram, Rajahmundry) 2. We are working in Govt. Primary School, Rethibowli, Mehdipatnam and we are giving employment to one person to work as a teacher in this school. He will join from this month. 3. a. Spoke with Rama garu of ETV2 (Sakhi programme) and she promised that she would do a shoot after 31st Jan. Her programmes are usually aired on Thursdays @ 2 pm. 3. b. Spoke with Satyababu of Sakhi Daily to write a story on them immediately emphasizing the requirement of people who can read/record their syllabus. 4. Also spoke with one of my friends (who wish to be anonymous) who earlier requested me to show bright visually challenged job seekers as she wanted to provide them training and employment as tele callers. She has been relocated to some other city but she replied promptly saying that she is interested to give job offers in Tele Calling and DTP. Hopefully things will fall in place in another two to three months. Haven't uploaded the photos yet.

Dear all, We are conducting medical camp in Bhallanpally village (my native place) in Mahabubnagar district on march 6th (saturday) 2010. This is in association with District Redcross society, Mahabubnagar and Ram reddy Eye hospital Mahabubnagar. Responsibility on TMAD part is to provide facilities in the village (tent, chairs and food, water etc) and medicines. I am taking care of this activity with my cousins,I know TMAD account is not having enough funds now a days, so I am planning to generate the funds and use it. It is a good opportunity to learn about various issues in the vilage (My father is very negative about this camp as there are some youngsters with intention of creating troubles). But I am ready to face the situation as my only intention is to conduct medical camp that benefits the poor. -- Regards... Harinath http://harinath.in

[tomakeadifference] Thalassemia help!
One Mr. Rajesh called me today and discussed about some help related with Thalassemia. He is a businessman by profession but is helping some Thalassemia affected children with blood transfusion etc. He explained me about the impact of blood tranfusion. It seems Iron gets clogged in body because of transfusion (usual food + iron in external blood), so it requires some costly medecine to nullify this effect. Rajesh has invited us to visit Redcross blood bank in Athyuth Reddy Marg (opposite lane to andhra mahila sabha, Vidyanagar). He is yet to register his organization but named it as Thalassemia Awareness Society. He could be another bird into BOSF. His contact number is 9848093106. We can plan visiting the place, he said he will be happy to accompany us. Based on our understanding of the need we can join him in making the difference in the lives of the Thalassemia affected children. -- Regards Harinath http://harinath.in

I feel responsible to go to the media, let them know how they are creating problems. I, with some of my friends, am planning to do this. Please suggest me in this.

[tomakeadifference] New year celebrations - Update
Dear all, Many of us gathered at the Govt Home for blind, Salarjung colony (near mehdipatnam) and celebrated new year with the hostel inmates. It was a fruitful visit that let us listen to the aspirations of the students who have talent in multiple functional areas. We have distributed snacks, laddu (thanks to satyakrishna) and apples to all inmates in the hostel. Hostel warden spoke for few minutes and thanked us for the visit. Then it was prasanthi who managed the show later. Diwaker garu played pivotal role in organizing the event. Satyakrishna garu brought TMAD T-shirts which helped us to wear the TMAD brand :-). We have also visited another hostel for blind in nanal nagar (on main road) (I went home home in the middle), but as I have the information, our team has visited prema nilayam and then mehdipatnam school class room construction work (which is close to completion). I have captured the event and burned onto a DVD(un-edited), not sure how can this be published with the team. Youtube didnt't allow me to upload it as there is a 10 min max video length constraint. few commitments we made: kashyap to provide a computer to the hostel. prasanthi - recording lessons and to see feasibility of providing mp3 player/tape recorders to the inmates. prasanthi - to check about call center job opportunity for few of the eligible hostel students. harinath/divaker reddy - to gather bio data of the inmates. It would make lot of difference to the home if we do follow up and fulfill some of the aspirations of the hostel inmates in towards a better career and life. Its already lengthy mail, so stopping it here, I request prasanthi to send out detailed mail (I have problem in remembering names as well). -- Regards... Harinath http://harinath.in -- Regards...

[tomakeadifference] New year event @ Nanal nagar (Near mehdipatnam)
Hi, We have decided to visit govt blind hostels at Nanal nagar (one at nanal nagar, and other at salarjung colony). Both the hostels are near by. These hostels are catering to male students who are studying their +2 to PG (or until they get a job) and are fully funded and operated by govt of andhra pradesh. Each hostel has around 140 inmates staying. Let us meet at Nanal nagar X road at 8.30AM on jan 1st, 2010. Diwaker garu and satyakrishna garu will provide further details on the program. But essentially it could include 1. New year celebration - cake cutting 2. Snacks distribution. 3. Sharing their aspirations There was a plan about TMAD T shirts as well. Satyakrishna\diwaker garu will update on that as well. Landmark: Nanal nagar junction is after the food world junction (on the way to chilkur road from mehidpatnam), there is a status with hand symbol. we can meet at the junction (at the bus stop after taking left towards chilkur). Please reply to this mail thread with your contact details and count of the persons with you. -- Regards... Harinath http://harinath.in

Hi, FYI. Atlast class room construction is coming to an end. final works are going on and it will be ready in another 1 week to 10 days.

Terrifying times, in fact. By the year 2020, says a recent World Bank report, most major Indian cities will run dry. Given the state of the monsoon this year, it would appear that the World Bank report has come true almost a decade earlier. Severe water shortage had already led to a growing number of conflicts across the country, with 90 per cent of India's territory served by inter-state rivers. India's supply of water too is rapidly dwindling primarily due to mismanagement of water resources, although over-pumping and pollution are also significant contributors. Climate change is expected to worsen the situation by causing erratic and unpredictable weather, which could drastically diminish the supply of water coming from rainfall and glaciers. However, we are not still ready to accept the reality of depleting groundwater reserves in India. This condition has caused a major water crisis. Water.org, an NGO with which Hollywood actor Matt Damon is closely attached, gives some terrifying water facts (globally): 3.575 million people die each year from water-related diseases 43% of water-related deaths are due to diarrhoea. 84% of water-related deaths are in children ages 0 - 14. 98% of water-related deaths occur in the developing world. 884 million people, lack access to safe water supplies, approximately one in eight people. The water and sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns. At any given time, half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water-related disease. Less than 1% of the world's fresh water (or about 0.007% of all water on earth) is readily accessible for direct human use. *More water facts* An American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a developing country slum uses in a whole day. About a third of people without access to an improved water source live on less than $1 a day. More than two thirds of people without an improved water source live on less than $2 a day. Poor people living in the slums often pay 5-10 times more per litre of water than wealthy people living in the same city. Without food a person can live for weeks, but without water you can expect to live only a few days. The daily requirement for sanitation, bathing, and cooking needs, as well as for assuring survival, is about 13.2 gallons per person. Over 50 percent of all water projects fail and less than five percent of projects are visited, and far less than one percent have any longer-term monitoring. Only 62% of the world's population has access to improved sanitation - defined as a sanitation facility that ensures hygienic separation of human excreta from human contact. Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease. Millions of women and children spend several hours a day collecting water from distant, often polluted sources. *Climate change, another threat* In an unprecedented incident, a 30-year-old man, who was part of a 1,000-strong group protesting against the stringent water cut outside the Bombay Municipal Corporation headquarters recently, died of apparent cardiac failure during a police lathicharge. Viral Dholakia, who died before he could be taken to GT Hospital a few metres away, was a founder member of Swabhimaan, an NGO set up by Narayan Rane's son, Nitesh, who was also leading the protest. Incidents like these, however weird they may seem now, are bound to get repeated unless we sit up and take some drastic steps to counter water crisis, which is sure to assume alarming proportions in years to come With climate change set to have unpredictable consequences on water regime, the action plan, he said, aims at increasing water use efficiency by 20 per cent and promote basin level integrated water resources management. Noting that efficient use of crop water can increase the gross irrigated area either by increasing the irrigated cropped area or the irrigation intensity, the prime minister said that the second green revolution could come from technologies developed in the private sector. Water related issues need to be addressed with full involvement of local people and taking into account the local conditions. Farmers should be consulted in any agricultural water management initiatives. Women too play a key

The proposed amendments include, introducing an exemption for so-called *“vexatious and frivolous” * applications, and by excluding from the purview of the RTI Act access to “file notings” and the decision making process, this time by *excluding “discussion/consultations that take place before arriving at a decision”.* This government gave its citizens the RTI Act, and there has been no crisis in government as a result of its enactment. In fact the Indian State has, as a result greatly benefited, and the RTI Act and its use by ordinary people is helping change its image to that of an open and receptive democracy.

[tomakeadifference] TMAD I.Day celebrations in Bhallanpally
Dear all, Here is the update about In Z.P.High school, Bhallan Pally, Mahabubnagar district I went along with my brother (Sudharshan reddy) and was present during August 15 celebrations in bhallan pally. My brother was really very handy through out this visit. Students are very active and given proper guidance they can really achieve good progress in their life. I have presented the school with science experiements kit (worth 3500/-), books, pens, pencils, charts, calculators, multiplication tables books (plastic) and chocoloates. We made sure that every student of the primary school and the high school got something or the other (table books, pencils, pens in primary school and pens in high school). Photos: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BVsbx11wehY/SofNIEoTnGI/FL8/EJiQ6ji15s0/s1600-h/P1010028.JPG http://harinath-photos.blogspot.com/2009/08/august-15-celebrations-in-bhallanpally.html Total cost incurred was close to 5500/-. Present needs: payment for volunteers: There are 2 volunteers working. Looks like they are getting a regular teacher and hence 1 teacher has no hope of getting any salary from govt. He has been working from June 12 and as telugu teacher but as a regular govt teacher is going to join in a week or so, he will not be getting anything from govt for his work. I promised the head master that, we will pay 500/- per month, total 1500/- for his work between june and august). Head master will look for further donations from others. Also there is another local volunteer called Venkataswamy (He lost his right leg during his childhood). For me he looks a very valuable asset to the school. He also needs financial assistance. I am thinking even if the school gets all the vacancies filled it is worth having him in the school as teacher. He is very energetic and belongs to the village (where all the teachers come from neighbouring towns). I am thinking of supporting this guy as he is worth of it. Request members to consider it. I am ready to pay the initial amounts. Benches: Apart from 10th class no one else have benches to sit, when head master requested help for the same, some of the ward members and villagers came forward and offered benches (total of 25 ) but I cannot take it granted (my father was telling that every year people do give word but they do not stick to it, I will wait for a month as asked by the donors and see what we can do about it). Sarpanch and ward members have gave oral commitment to resolve some of the local issues (like a power connection ) and getting more teachers and land for the school. -- Thanks Harinath Mallepally 9391920444/harinathre...@gmail.com Making change http://tmad.org

[tomakeadifference] School education related items
Hi, With motivation from Diwaker reddy garu, i took a day off and visited govt schools in my village. We have 2 govt schools 1. Mandala parishad Primary school and another one is a Z.P.High school. In total there are around 300 students (my rough estimate is that around 230-250 students are regular to the school, thanks to no rains, children come to school.If rain they are on demand in agriculture related activities on daily wage basis). As I spoke with teachers, these schools are somewhat better in terms of class rooms and teachers. There are 3 regular teachers and 1 volunteer in primary school and 5 regular teachers and 2 volunteers in the high school. Teachers have suggested me to buy them useful books like dictionaries, puzzles, science instruments like vernier calipers, screw guage etc. I will buy some of them on my own and then will expose the full details to TMAD such as. There are few local issues which are causing funds to lapse. (last year there is a fund lapse or Rs. 3 lakhs and there is a fund of 9 lakhs even now. I am discussing with few of the panchayat ward members about utilizing this fund). well, Here is what i am looking at: 1. school teaching aids - items and location where we can get them. 2. science experiments related items - locations where we can get them (screw guage, vernier colipers,test tubes etc). 3. General books,dictionaries etc - places where we can find good collection and get decent discounts. 4. Any other educational information/items. I am not looking for anything that runs with electricity, as my village schools have no electricity supply as of now. But if you have useful information please do share with me. Thanks for reading through lenghty mail, Usually i like simpler ones. few snaps of my village schools on my blog: http://harinath-photos.blogspot.com/2009/08/bhallan-pally-schools-primary-and-high.html -- Thanks Harinath Mallepally 9391920444/harinathre...@gmail.com Making change http://tmad.org

[tomakeadifference] update on mehdiapatnam school
Hi, Today I got a call from SSA regarding some signatures. So I went to SSA office and provided required stuff along with TMAD bank account details. We will be getting SSA contribution (close to 2 to 3 lakhs) towards the mehdipatnam school construction. It will take another 1 or 2 weeks for the actual amount transfer. Also met contractor at the office. It seems he faced lot of difficulties in executing the work. issues like material theft, objections from local regarding petty things, He some how managed things well till now. SSA engineers were appreciating our efforts as it is very difficult to execute work like this one.(no space to keep material or lift it to first floor etc). This is for your information. -- Thanks Harinath Mallepally 9391920444/harinathre...@gmail.com Making change http://tmad.org

[tomakeadifference] Mehdipatnam school update
Hi all, Here is the latest update about Mehdipatnam school class room construction. Today Slab construction is happening under the supervision of SSA engineers. Mr.Laxmaiah,AE,SSA called me and informed me about the work. Though there was little delay, I am happy that we are progressing on the work. I spoke to contractor to complete the work by Aug 15th, But It will be difficult, atleast they need to leave 2 weeks for curing, so building walls and windows/doors etc will take some more time. Given the phase of the work, it might take another 1 month+ for the actual completion. Meanwhile, I have submitted a request letter to SSA to release funds from their contribution (80%) based on the work status. Thanks harinath

Hi everyone, This is the update about mehdipatnam school (ambedkar nagar, GPS). I am visiting the school on alternate days (while going home in the evening, school is on the way for me anyway). as you might know construction work has started last week and columns r completed. in another week slab will be done as well. I have visited the site this morning and superviser (of the contractor) is hopeful of slab by next tuesday or wednesday. This contractor looks committed It will take around a month or so to complete the full class room. Please find few snaps of the school. -- Regards... Harinath http://harinath.in
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Update on Mehdipatnam School
Thanks :-). Special thanks should to all the donors and prasanthi and others who had lot of patience through out this exercise, Donors had their trust with TMAD. While the work was delayed, we had no complaints from our members especially ones who have donated. This shows that they have confidence in us in executing projects like this. regarding the school work, I have visited the school this morning as well. There is progress. The work has just began few days ago, we will see the columns raised in another 2 to 3 days. goal is that before start of the school we want to complete slab work as well. In practice it will take some more time. This contractor is better and keeping his word as of now. Photos:... We can have the snaps once the columns raised. so another one more week of wait. Also as prasanthi mentioned earlier, if there are any volunteers to take care of the work (along with me) it will be great. work includes few phone calls a day and visiting the site on weekly basis or as per the availability. While this will not be a show stopper such as , but it is to make sure we get work done little quicker.

Great. Thanks Chaitanya for the effort and information. I can feel the growth in TMAD group. We are not dull, but growing :-). Prashanti, do u agree?

So the first step is done. And we need to make sure that the transactions are made according to the process. And maintain records appropriately. We would be applying again for 80G, out earlier application was rejected due to the reason that we didnt have 12A. I need some one from the board to take this up, as I would be moving out to Bangalore as the company I am working with is relocating to Bangalore. I will have the application ready, and we will apply in the next 4 days. By Monday (23rd) next week lets submit the application. Congrats once again to everyone :). Regards Chaitanya -- Regards...

Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Update on Mehdipatnam School
Yes, We are all set to start the work.Please find the TMAD request letter, SSA approval letter and the plan as given by their engineers. I have been coordinating with SSA for the last 6 months or so. Manavata was initially supposed to take this up but they had some problems and hence it got delayed. Finally we have taken this up on our own. I must thank Maheedhar Maddi, who happily contributed for this activity. He was the first contributor to this activity which gave us confidence. Also Naveen, Divya, Dave.kavitha and prashanti(sorry if i missed) for their contributions toward this. Total project is estimated at 5.4 Lakhs and as you might know we are into this activity with 20% contribution from our side. i.e 1.08 Lakh. I will publish the MOU copy and further details about the estimates in another few days. I am talking to a builder to take up the work as it might be difficult for us to monitor and manage the work. But options are open as of now. Initial discussion is that we try to build it on our own, but it depends on getting a good Mason. Engineers at the SSA office shared with me few experiences where similar projects were hurt badly by greedy masons. Please share your views and your involvement too is welcome!

On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 11:55 PM, ulprasanthi prasutmad.fina...@gmail.com wrote: Friends, Greetings. I gave 2000 rs. to Suresh Deepala to help a mother-son duo in desperate condition of health. This I didn't consult the group as there was no time. Suresh will give us the bills. Please go through the following mails from Suresh to me about these people and his empathy for them: Sometimes I cannot describe in words the pain which we undergo. The mother and son whom I was talking about are out of hospital now. I dont know what to do with them. I really tried hard with all the homes but I could not get any response from them. I also tried hard to get their relatives who havent turned up. Both of their condition is really severe. I heard that old lady devoloped a bed sore and magotts are coming out of it, it seems. and from the sons leg the puss is oozing out. They require immediate shelter now. Mother Theresa home is the best place for them. I tried with the letter from share a service for which they said they have no space. this was 10 daya ago. I am thinking to send somebody again and ask the perimission. I will try with share a service again. My biggest worry is this the Old lady is just lying on her back at a constant position for morethan 20 days and as is the case with the son too. we must understand one thing here that they have undergone a surgery after which they are suppose to have been provided the good food, medicine and must be looked after by the family which didnt happen. It is really hard to see them suffering like that and being not in a position to do anything.. That is why many worst conditions than these at the hospitals, I decided I need to take it up as a project and I keep saying to the people whoever i meet to go to Osmania hospital whenever they are free and observe the things thre. That is how i got enlightened of how poor are really suffering. Cleaning maggots and all is not a big task, as it needs some medical material which I suppose is not much expensive and also that these two people after being treated at some shelter home for some time need to be taken to the hospial specially that lady whose leg is also infected and might need amputation. but definitely it must be only after she gets fit physically. Also we cannot say when she will die and I am quie surprised and feel disheartened to see her alive till now as i thought she will die soon. To be open I am really praying god to take her to him soon. === This is the story. So I hope that there will not be any objection. An important point. I am pondering over setting up a shelter home for such people (who are not allowed admission in any of the oldage homes). To set up a children home with our ideology is not easy and there is a long way for us to go to achieve that. Meanwhile why don't we help for this cause!! Share A Service group came forward and is in discussion with three to four NGOs to take part in this endeavour. I told to Suresh that help would be there from TMAD front and it would be based on constraints. We do not have any objection in collaboration as service is our motto but running a home with the help of few more NGOs might not be smooth. Will keep you posted of further developments. Any serious decision will only be after discussion in our group. Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi. -- Regards... Harinath http://harinath.in
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: ImportantTMAD 4th Anniversary to be celebrated on 8th March, 2009
thanks for the mail prashanti. It is a nice summary of the event. Yes i do believe, when we find we are not doing enough, we need to do some brainstorming and find ways of re-energizing ourselves. TMAD has been doing wonderful job, I thank all the members who are contributing to this effort. -Harinath On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 11:10 PM, ulprasanthi prasutmad.fina...@gmail.com wrote: Friends, Greetings. Feeling happy to share that we could meet and some of us could actually turn up. Thanks to all those who attended and thanks to all those who tried their level best to attend and unfortunately couldn't make it. It was a good meeting. We could discuss few things. NTR Gardens was nice. We sat at a comfortable place. Raghu Vineel, Harinath, Mrs. Kavita Harinath, Ravi Shankar, Bhargav, Kasyap, Murali, Ratan, Mrs. Deepthi Kasyap, Divya, and the little Adya attended. We had a good time with Aadu and chocolates from Ratan and Divya. Initially we discussed on how each of us joined the group, what are the pros and cons that we feel and what are the suggestions to revive the group and keep up the pace. Harinath felt that BosF is the best thing that we are doing. He says that we seem to be lacking in focus. Bhargav suggested that we should give publicity to the activities that we are doing and that is how we can bring in more volunteers. He also mentioned that we should target people who are looking for jobs and give them some money for doing our work and though there are chances that these people will only work til they get job, still it is worth a try and helps our activities. Kasyap suggested that we should appoint senior persons like school principals etc., for the teams (Education and Health) and TMAD members should assist them, back when needed. Kasyap mentioned that he feels we are doing charity only and he personally does not like helping individuals (medical cases, providing funds for Mehdipatnam school etc.,). Ravi says that he feels happy that he is doing things though he feels that he does things on impulse. He gets to know so many things. Instead of charity work, we can focus on the society and how we can expand our knowledge and reach there by we can try to create awareness among people. Murali felt that no group can be active all the time and so if any volunteer feels that he cannot be active or cannot take part for some reason or other, it is good if he/she introduces new volunteers to the group. He cited his example that he introduced Karthik and Jairam who were very active and did good work. Raghu Vineel said that as he relocated from Blr he felt that he cannot mingle with others easily and he will be all alone. So he has taken some time to get adjusted to Hyderabad and also to settle some personal issues. He is actively involved with other groups as well. He feels that our group is more planned and organized. He is now ready to take active part. Prasanthi mentioned that it would be good if the interaction is more and people open up with reasonable replies (does not sound absurd) and also it would be helpful if we can say if we are available for any activity in particular period say for two months or so and this way we can get a clear view on how many volunteers are available and which activity to take up. Also as every volunteer knows about their potential and interest, it would be good if they come forward saying that this is what I can do and am willing to do and it helps the group tremendously. It is not like someone assigns tasks but we do the things that we like and also own up the tasks and TMAD as well. Harinath mentioned that for a group like us it is not sufficient that we meet for two hours and go but should keenly sit for 3 to 4 hours doing brainstorming to take the group forward. Divya said that though she is extremely busy she came only because today is our anniversary. Meeting members we can meet any day but as this is anniversary it is special and so she wants to take part. Though we used to have many fights in the group we restricted it for the difference of opinion on the concept and we always used to be like a family and thats what keeps the group going despite how many of us can be active or not. She hoped and expressed confidence that we will continue the spirit and be like a family and do the constructive work. That is what she suggested Raghu Vineel too to keep meeting people even online (she also quoted our example that most of us haven't met each other for so many years and inspite of that we were like one strong family). Ratan seconded Raghu Vineel's view that our group is much better when compared to other groups, we have all the things at our disposal to make it work and just that we are expecting more from us and are setting high targets and expectations. Though we didn't conclude anything, we dispersed with the view that we need not feel sober that we are not doing much. It only
