Hello Satish, Thank you so much for introducing Preethi to us and the group to Preeti.
I felt very happy on reading her mail and ofcourse yours too. I mailed her personally for the details. I will be in touch with her and update the group with the proceedings. Thank you. --- In [email protected], "[EMAIL PROTECTED] A.

Right now, we are just helping each other with jobs, accomodations, becoming friends, developing a network etc etc (and on the way, there is some fun, exchanging of information, references, hot discussions, arguments, teasing each other and becoming friends, which is normal for a group..... but then sometime soon we wil start focussing on helping and developing our villages back home, irrespective of caste, location and religion. > > Right now, u and ur friends can work as a group.... plan an event.... fix a date.... and go to some village and educate them on some issue. For example u can do many things like.... > > Identify some orphan children and find a way to put them in school. > > Educate them on population control. > > Educate them on the importance of education. > > Educate them on the problems the caste system causes in our society. > > Educate them on how politics should be used and not abused. > > Educate them on how to discourage corruption. > > Use ur education, intelligence, smartness and resources to come up with some creative way of helping the underdeveloped villages and poor children. > > There might be a lot of government programs to help the poor, needy and orphan children, all u have to do is, gettogether and brainstorm on this issue, find out more inofrmation and create an awareness in the society.

Even creating a small awareness program is a big step to start. > > I am a person who aims for long term solutions, like creating awareness and slowly eradicating the problem completely. I know it's tough, u need lot of patience and dedication from members and mainly by the person who leads it initially. > > Right now our group is not that strong and doesnt' have that committed members to work on these issues, there are lot of members, and we have to bring them out from their shell.... we are still in the networking stage trying to know each other and do some little help to each other. I will be coming up with a website soon and then will have a big database of different type of volunteers to work on doing some REAL help for the society. > > We have a couple of friendly associated groups for us, who are totally into these activites, and they have their own ways of working, some work on long term programs, some work on short term programs, some work on providing instant help, some work on helping children, some work on providing medical help etc etc.... some of our members are active members in those groups too. > > 'Make A Difference' (MAD) group is one such group, the moderator is Prasanthi.... a very dynamic and dedicated person.... there are many enthusiastic members in that group like DIVYA, Chandra, Krishna, Nachaki and many others who are totally into this. They work mainly on providing instant medical help for the poor and needy, eventually they may start working on other issues too. > > This is one group where u can actively participate and help them in making a difference. This is one of those groups where u are assured that ur money won't be abused adn will be used the way u want it to be used, if u are keen on donating money. But if u really want to do some volunteer work, they might have lot of programs in their plan, u can join their monthly meetngs in Hyderabad and decide for urself if u want to be a part of it .... or atleast u can get ideas and inspiration from them to work independantly..... At the end of the day, all we want is to develop our country in some way. > > the link to that group is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/makeadifference > > So, dear members come up with ideas and plans and suggest Preeti what she can do with her team of friends. And if anybody is willing, please join her too to help. > > Good luck friends.... > > > > Cheers, > > Satish A.
