Agree on More the delay...more the damage. Good job on the table u prepared. It is half work done here.
Going with the material next sat/sun: I dont' c why we cannot go ahead and buy the note books first. We can keep working on finding a tutor paralelly....but this shudn't stop us from deciding on buying materials needed to start with. I say YES to this rightaway. I think there is no need to talk to Balamma anymore unless she is informative in anyway...or someone likes her company :)) This kind of people are useless since we get no valid information or answers from them anyways. A tenth pass student teaching the rest and we paying her/him cash for this is a big NO. I bet u guys decided the same when she suggested this. We seriously have to think of other options. About this school thr...can one of you guys mail some more info. Did I miss a mail that had all this info previously itself? If so..pls give me a mail no I can refer to. I was wanting to know if this is a ZPPS kind of a school...or a general school with no tutors/teachers...or no active teachers....or a school that lacks something els. I will share more ideas once I have this info. -Divya ********************************************************************** - In [email protected], murali mohan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > GM to u all .. > read it at ur leisure ... > > Things happened prior to our Yday's visit : Jayram, Srinivas ,Anil and Prasanthi visited Anikepalli and collected some basic info reg the situation of children there n prepared the list of needy children.Thanks for their efforts from all the MAD mebers. > > More the delay ..more the damage: As u all know ,schools were reopned in the second week of June but not much progress(almost no progress) in helping out them. when this topic came for discussion in the meeting , I have shared my idea of putting the full stop to this issue by this weekend. if we delay it more and more , the help we give will be of no use (meaning it wont be effective as it is already 2 weeks since the scools reopned and children are in bad need of material like notebooks etc aeap).. > > The info collected : During their last visit they (jayram,srinu n anil)have collected the names of the eligible children in need .... but this is not sufficient enough ... > > So Jayram and I went there again ..after the meeting.This time, we called the children and had good interaction with each and every child(when we talk to the parents they are always giving false statements) and clearly noted down what each child needs(the info collected from the child itself) and prepared one table with the following details. > > (1) child name : > (2) parent/gaurdian details : most of them have either father/mother. Also by seeing the situation of the children , we were liberal this time .

U know ?..they are well to do family when compared to others ..Baalammaaa neeku vandanaalamma ... > > We wanted to find out one volunteer [paid volunteer :-) ] and so told her "we will pay them some amount monthly... suggest somebody to conduct tutions in the evening who has inter or degree qualification ".
