Children)

December 2009 month’s event, we visited New Life Charitable Trust Home @
Eraiyur Village, Near Padappai on 20th December 2009.
At present, this organization takes care of nearly 130 inmates (Old Aged – 65,
Orphan Children – 65). We provided Fruits,
Oats, Rusk, Biscuits for Old Aged and Savories, Health Mix, Biscuits, Fruits
for Children of this home and also a Special
Lunch for all the inmates of the home on the day of the visit. We also
provided Pomagranate Juices to all the
Old Aged inmates (which was prepared by our volunteers). We conducted various
games such as Drawing Competition,
Balloon Bursting Competition, Talent Show and awarded prizes to the
children. We also conducted Ball Pass game
for the old aged inmates.
Project #2
Educational Aid for a Poor
Student
We came to know about a Poor boy Arun
Raj B. who needed help for pursuing his education. He was referred & verified
by our volunteer Hemanth Kumar P from Hexaware Technologies. He is doing his B.Sc., (Computer Science) in Nazareth
College
of Arts & Science, Avadi, Chennai. His
father is sick and unable to work and his mother is working as House Maid and
is taking care of the whole family. His two younger sisters are studying in
schools near his home. Arun Raj’s Final (Sixth) Semester Fees is Rs. 8, 500/-
and needed our help for the same. We
have provided the Final Semester College Fees of Rs. 8, 500/-.
Project #3
Partial Amount Paid towards
buying Land for a Poor & Orphan Home
We have already been helping the Gandhiji
Rehabilitation Centre, Chennai regularly for their basic needs. At present this
organization takes cares of nearly 25 inmates; almost all of them are poor / orphan
/ semi-orphan. This home provides free food, shelter, medical care and other
basic needs of life to the inmates, besides providing school education to the
inmates of the home. Vanarasan, who is the son of the organization’s founder, is
taking care of the students. His family members are also playing a vital role
in running this organization. Within the
last 3 years they have had to change three rented places due to owners not
willing to accommodate all the inmates of the home for a longer period of time.
Currently, they are living in a rented place at Nemilicheri near Pattabiram. Larsen
& Toubro has already committed to build the home if they could provide a
land. They were short of Rs. 50,000/- for purchase of a small piece of land.
After considering their struggle for rented home, we provided them Rs. 20,000/- as partial amount towards the
amount needed for purchase of the land. Now, they have succeeded in procuring
the land with the help of kind hearted people.
Project #4
Special Classes
(Tuitions) arranged for a Government School @ Anantapur District,
Andhra Pradesh
Our volunteer Narahari had visited a
school in a rural area of Andhra Pradesh, named “Mandal Parishath Upper Primary School” at Papampeta in Anantapur District.
It is a school run by Andhra Pradesh State Government. There are nearly 330
students of which 65% of the students are girls. 230 Students are studying from
1st Standard to 5th Standard and 100 Students are
studying from 6th Standard to 7th Standard. Most of the
student’s parents are daily wage laborers. Parents
are allowing them to go to school for the sake of Free Mid-Day Meals
only. After the Free Meals, the
student’s strength in the classes is reduced by more than half. Parents
themselves take the students home after the Free Meals, since they lack
awareness of the importance of education. Hence, our first step was to create awareness among the parents as well as the
students, about the importance of education by counseling them.
He interacted with Dr. R. Rama
Naidu, who is the headmaster of this school and we (“The Origin”) along with our partner organization, India Sudar Educational and Charitable
Trust (www.indiasudar.org),
organized an Interaction / Counseling
session for the parents of the students on October 2009. Many
parents discussed about their problems and their needs. After we counseled
the parents, many parents burst into tears and promised that they will give
100% effort and support for their children’s Education. After hearing
them we strongly believe that this meeting has created great impact and acted
like a catalyst in increasing their desperation towards their kid’s education. Most
of the parents complained that the Tuition Fees was a burden. They have requested
for Free Tuitions in the evening for
their children. We arranged two tutors for this purpose from 18th November 2009.
Our volunteer Narahari’s Mother is also taking free tuitions in addition to the
two tutors arranged by us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for
the same.
