Hi Friends, I couldnt spend my time for the last few months due to work pressure at my office and personal problems at my home.
1. TeluguPeople Foundation, Vonumu.org and our Mad group are sponsoring money for children's education. In some cases we need to counsel the parents why they are not able to spend money for education. Some of the parents will be going for dailywages work at construction or doing agriculture etc., Sometime in a week, 3 to 4 days they couldnt get work. We can show them other jobs such as security guards. we can tie up with some agencies and provide employment. For house wives we can arrange bank loans to buy sewing machines. Some shops are outsourcing sarees for paintings. we can provide training how to paint and get the work also.For tailors there is a good demand in hyderabad. We can ask the leading tailors to outsource their work. Housewives can do from their home and get the money. 2. In a family, there will be 3 to 4 children. two may be going to school and other 2 may be working in wine shops/ hotels etc., For those children, we need to get them trained in Masonry works, carpentory works, Mobile training, refrigeration works,Mechanic works etc., 3.To make all the things to happen, we need a room at anikepalli. That we can take from any landlord at that village for free or else if there is no such option, we can hire for say around rs. 300 to 400. A table, 2 chairs, a register, a board, duster and marker. That room can be used for taking classes. we can fix a time in advance so that volunteers can plan accordingly and train the children for 1 or 2 hrs. Apart from that we can interact with the villagers and can know their problems. we can list and see what all can we do. Suppose if there are any major issues we can take help from other foundations or else by advertising through TeluguPeople.com Classifieds or in paper for less amount. Suppose if we can succeed at this village, we can identify some more villages in the city and do the needful. These are my ideas. i dont know whether they are possible or not. From Jan2007 i can spend time for these type of activities. Sorry for the big email.
