Friends, This is the update. We are not able to get proper response from the community with the minimal amount (Rs. 1000) that we are planning to contribute. So we want to go ahead with the regular sleeping mats (2), one blanket (as we find there are many members in each family and the coming season being winter, it would be of use) and the cooking stove (if we can find a proper place to make it). Coming to agriculture labourers, we want to provide the tools that they use in their day-to-day work. If anyone can give any info. on these tools, how much they cost etc., that would be of great help. Regarding Livelihood options, as we surveyed each household in particular streets, we want to address some of them initially with the fund that we have. We want to buy around 15 to 20 sewing machines. We will mainly concentrate on lifting their spirits and provide them hope and confidence to move on Our Plan: Livelihood Opportunities: We want to visit Alampur regularly (alternate weekends) and be in regular touch with them. We identified some youth who discontinued their education because of their financial position. Some of them are not interested in studies and are mostly going for this polish work. Want to gather the youth, encourage them and join them in the SRTRI, Pochampally or Gandhi Institute as they provide livelihood trainings. Medical Camp: Want to approach ArogyaBharathi volunteers to conduct a medical camp here (actually they did one in the initial days of flood). We are planning to go this Saturday itself. Will keep you all posted. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "birdsofsamefeathers" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
