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.
