Coming to the point of Education support, As Srinivas and Jairam said in their observation "We gave priority to orphan and semi-orphan children. Some are studying in govt school -anikepally and some in near by English medium school (Good shepherd).their will be no fee for the children in the govt school, and they will also get text books freely..So if we can provide note books it is enough..Most of the children are studying in govt school only.."
It seems that they need note books only. Providing note books is not a big deal. We can purchase and distribute. Appreciation to Jayaram, Srinivas and Anil. Welldone. One and half hour time is not sufficent for "Needs Assessment" of any village. It may not provide comprehensive and accurate information to take decisions. Please try to plan for spending few more hours if you go there again.
