Hello Friends, Greetings. Yesterday evening I met Giri garu of Dr. Raman Foundation. We got to know each other a month before when Dr. Raman Foundation conducted Clothes Drive. When I sent a mail introducing TMAD and BOSF, he immediately subscribed to both groups and has been following the updates.
Let me introduce Giri garu. He is a senior software engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Working as the Managing Director in a software MNC in Hyderabad. He is from Palagummi near Amalapuram. He is one of the founders of Dr. Raman Foundation. You can visit the Web site: drraman.org for more details. They are into Education, Livelihood Support, Old People Support and Women Support with main focus on Education. http://www.drraman.org/Road%20Ahead.html He shared many valuable views based on his experience and discussed many topics. The main things that he wished to share with anyone is that, we should not only be compassionate but competent. More so we should be correct in our judgement. When we say equal opportunities, we have to consider even rich and successful people as well. We have to give them a fair chance. Just because they are rich and in the top brass of the society we shouldn't ignore them with our own inhibitions. We also discussed on BOSF. I explained to him that BOSF is a platform, a forum for likeminded groups. Through BOSF we only collect, share and map the information but do not execute a project. We ended up with two things to get into action: 1. To support the old age home that TMAD members visited on the 1st of January. 2. To meet Satyavati garu of Bhumika to discuss on a project related to Pregnant Women. They want to support pregnant women with nutritious food and medicines upto 4 months after the delivery. He wants to discuss with you about this project. 3. They are ready to provide livelihood support (on case by case basis) depending on the situation and the people involved. The most important thing is that he wants to attend our monthly meetings and meet all of us and discuss/guide us on how best we can accomplish things. Friends, Being a very senior executive in IT and involved with a Foundation in the capacity of a Director, a family person with a wife and two young children, he still manages time to attend our meeting. HE REQUESTED HIS APARTMENT MEMBERS TO SCHEDULE THEIR APARTMENT MEETINGS TO THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH AS OUR MONTHLY MEETING IS ON FIRST SUNDAY. It is for all of us to decide on whether we should attend the meetings or not. -- Thank you. with regards, PRASANTHI. ---- When you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
