There have been decent activities in recent times. I failed to turn up because, i had some work which i only can attend to. When I have to prioritize things, family comes first and thats the reason I didn't turn up for the meeting.
Well, here is an update on the recent activities with my involvement and/or knowledge. But looking around, we have been doing good work. We are working on OCMS (online case management system) again. Right now i am in the process of filtering students for project trainees for OCMS. As you guys can remember, myself, prashanti, hemanth reddy, pavan etc went to Nellore Nayaryana engineering college, and presented a seminar to the eng students. Though most of them are interested, I doubt their self motivation and dedication to work on offline mode, so I created a google group http://groups.google.com/group/ocms-trainees<http://groups.google.com/group/ocms-trainees/pending?s=1&hl=en> and training the students basics that are expected for OCMS. I will be shortlisting few students for OCMS project I hope to see something fruitful in another 6 months. On the hyderabad front, Mehdipatnam school,I have coordinated with Manavata group (they were highly appreciative of prashanti's effort). and they are almost confirmed to take of the school. Sriram of Manavata group asked us to collect information about all the govt schools in the near by areas so as they can take it up with collector or govt people for the funds required. But there is no help from govt, also they will be taking care of the mehditpatnam school. Recently, few people from my company (infosys) contacted me and enquired about the schools in hyderabad which need help (finance, notebooks,teaching etc). There seems to be more people who want to contribute to the society. we need to stay focused and try to connect people who are working on SILOs. Another Project from K.S Rao sir, is about taking care of the needs of the students on MASS scale. Creating an umbrella activity and coordinating with all the companies and like minded groups and convincing them to adopt few schools by each company. This program is called "Healthy child - Happy Child". Probably I will send out a detailed PPT kind of stuff once i get some free time. I am very much interested in the KS Rao project and he has really excellent contacts with industry and various voluntary groups. There is hell lot of work ahead, there is a big pool of people who area ready to spend their money, time and effort. We need to be organized in far better way and reach out everyone who can help and everyone who need help and bridge the GAP. well,so far meetings are concerned, they are good but probably we need to have a meeting request and if we have min. number (say 5 or 10) then only we can have the meeting. I would prefer let us continue the momentum even if there are only 1 or 2 people turn up. Who knows what is in tomorrow for us.
