This is our first book distribution drive. Drishtikon is our partner group for all the book distribution activities of the year. The plan is to distribute books and other necessary stationery for the children in the government schools of Vaabasandra, Hulimangala.
First we went to Vaabasandra school. This school is 3KM away from Electronic city and 1KM from Treamis International school. The strength of this school is around 95. It has classes from 1st-7th. We reached the school around 8 AM in the morning and by the time we went there all the kids are waiting for us. We just had an introduction with all the kids in the school and started the distribution of books and chocolates. Finished the distribution from 1st class to 4th class in no time and then we moved on to the higher classes. Class by class we completed the distribution soon and spent some time with the kids.
This time it’s a good attendance from our volunteer’s side. Around 15 of us were present on the day. All of us had a nice time in the school remembering our school days.
Kids came up with different activities like singing songs, Mimicry etc which were really good and all of us enjoyed. Finally said bye to the kids and moved on to our next school around 9.45 AM.
Hulimangala School- This school is about 3Km from Electronic city. The strength of this school is around 60. It has classes from 1st-7th. We included another small school – Nanjapura govt primary school where the strength is around 15. We did the same things done in the previous school.
They had a nice class room filled with the art work of the kids. The mimicry done by all the kids together making different sounds was really amazing. Finally we took a group photo with the entire school and concluded the event.
With these 2 schools this year we have given books to around 170 kids. Our next plan to cover 2 more schools in Tumkur covering another 130 kids and making the count 300.
Thanks to all the volunteers for making the event a success -Ravi, sunil, swaroop, vinay, Sashank, Shubo, santosh, vamsi, bhageerath, shiva, soudamini. Hope we would see more volunteers for our next events.
