Re: Just a thought: let us discuss & ACT!



Hello,

Thanks a lot for sharing this article. At personal level, though I have not studied in the school, I have so many relatives who went to this school and some them are very successful. One of them is my uncle and my mentor, Sri Kilaru Venkata Subba Rao (KVS), retired Principal of VSR&NVR college. I used to visit my grand father (Sri Kilaru Jaganadha Rao) often times in Munagalapallii Lanka via Chilumuru. Every time we pass through by Chilumuru, my mother used to talk about the history of the school and its greatness.

Due to God's grace (absolutely not my merit), I can help financially at least one poor student (irrespective of caste, religion, party etc.)  in the school to fulfill his/her minimum needs. If there are more students needing financial support and if it is beyond me, I will make a sincere request to my friends and other beautiful human beings to help. 

Kiindlly, please let me know if there is such need in Chilumuru school or any where else.

With love,

Ramesh

Madhu has a point. I think this discussion should put all the ideas on
table, as we are doing rightly so. However, I do think, it is easier to

do without involving Govt bodies in smaller projects. There is still
some commitment from the beneficiaries as we will nurture and take care
of issues related to that.

To start with, let us stay away from Govt. bodies and as the interest

grows and when we embark on bigger projects, dealing with Govt.
programs may be more worthy of volunteers' time. I think you can build
this compromise into the framework.

If the funds we are looking at is under $500 per case, may be we should

run without much of coordination with third party agencies.

I like your idea of addressing the basic needs in schools, which is
some thing we all understand and have passion for.

Regards,
Chandu
