Dear all, Many of us gathered at the Govt Home for blind, Salarjung colony (near mehdipatnam) and celebrated new year with the hostel inmates. It was a fruitful visit that let us listen to the aspirations of the students who have talent in multiple functional areas. We have distributed snacks, laddu (thanks to satyakrishna) and apples to all inmates in the hostel.
Hostel warden spoke for few minutes and thanked us for the visit. Then it was prasanthi who managed the show later. Diwaker garu played pivotal role in organizing the event. Satyakrishna garu brought TMAD T-shirts which helped us to wear the TMAD brand :-). We have also visited another hostel for blind in nanal nagar (on main road) (I went home home in the middle), but as I have the information, our team has visited prema nilayam and then mehdipatnam school class room construction work (which is close to completion). I have captured the event and burned onto a DVD(un-edited), not sure how can this be published with the team. Youtube didnt't allow me to upload it as there is a 10 min max video length constraint. few commitments we made: kashyap to provide a computer to the hostel. prasanthi - recording lessons and to see feasibility of providing mp3 player/tape recorders to the inmates. prasanthi - to check about call center job opportunity for few of the eligible hostel students. harinath/divaker reddy - to gather bio data of the inmates. It would make lot of difference to the home if we do follow up and fulfill some of the aspirations of the hostel inmates in towards a better career and life. Its already lengthy mail, so stopping it here, I request prasanthi to send out detailed mail (I have problem in remembering names as well). -- Regards... Harinath http://harinath.in -- Regards...
