June - Search of schools in rural Bangalore
Its time for book distribution in the schools. We started different activities like Visiting schools, Collecting information, shortlisting the schools based on the need of the kids, budget discussions. Finally our volunteers did a wonderful job on collecting the information about 25 schools, out of which 23 schools are in need of books. We collected the class wise information and the number of note books that are necessary for each kid.
Out of these 23, only 5 of them are old schools which we have visited before.18 new schools have been identified and this year the plan is to cover 1200+ kids. We are crossing the magical number of 1000 kids which we have been dreaming from the last couple of years. Now we have the target before us. We started searching for books. When we are trying to take the quotes from different dealers about the note books as we need 5000+ note books, we met few folks from Class mate(ITC) who really helped us in finalizing things. We dont want to compromise on the quality of books & stationary which we want to give the kids.So this year we are planning to get 80% of the books and stationary from Class mate. Even though its an extra bit of burden in terms of funding, we decided not to compromise and give them the best quality.
Thanks to the volunteers for all your efforts in doing the back ground work.

Few Dreams @ 4 years - May 1st 2012
Few Dreams is 4 years young now.
Could not celebrate any event as all the schools are having holidays during May. But happy to say that few of our volunteers started volunteering for Make a wish foundation celebrating the 4th anniversary of few dreams and we are helping them in the areas of Wish Identification, Wish fulfillment and contributions to fulfill the wishes. We wanted to continue the help which we are doing to Make a wish and at the same time want to expand our relation with Make a wish.
Congrats to all the wonderful people who supported us in this beautiful journey of 4 years.
