Hi Suresh, Touchwood. Seems to be TMAD is alive and kicking again. Every project that we propose is being supported.
This is the url for the school information http://tomakeadifference.net/ed_Mehdipatnam.html We distributed books this year too. Photos are in Harinath's album. We have the photos of slippers distribution too. I think those photos are in your account only on picasaweb. http://picasaweb.google.com/suresh.e/SDP http://picasaweb.google.com/suresh.e/FDPJanFeb (This is not our FDP but we distributed the food sponsored by govt. and supplied by Naandi on the day that we gave the slippers to the students) Naresh garu can give actual statistics in a detailed format. The one that is in our Web site are last year's details. The strength is more or less the same. There are few books but not in library sort. Space is the biggest constraint for them. Karthik, Srinivas, Vani, Satyakrishna and Veena, please provide your views about the children, the Headmaster, teachers etc., We discussed about this school at length in one of our monthly meetings. We wanted to improve the standard of the children. Naresh garu is very successful in keeping the children in school and convincing the parents to send the children to school. But the standards of the children are a bit low. If only they have good space and a better teaching we can inspire students to aim high. Apart from Naresh garu, there are only two vidya volunteers. Three classes in one room, we can imagine the plight of the children. More would be in the report. Karthik, I request you to get all the necessary information and we can host the school's profile in our Web site as well as provide the project report in a pdf format to TeluguPeople Foundation.
