Jan 26th Celebrations - Hulimangala Govt School - 2011
Starting this blog for the year wishing you all a happy new year.
All things were set ready and all of us assembled morning a silk board junction, bangalore at 7.15 AM. From there all of us headed to the school. Weather was good and all us enjoyed the ride going away from the city into a small village with full greenery around us. Reached the school by sharp 8 AM in the morning. We were able to see only a few kids in the school as we were early than the scheduled time. By 8.30 all the kids were in and the toughest problem we had there is arranging the flag post and the flag tied to it. Finally we put in all our efforts to arrange the flag post and the guest for the day was our friends mother and it was a wonderful oppurtunity for her to hoist the flag.
She hoisted the flag and still the flag was not waving in the sky as it had one other knot which need to be released. At last, it was a 5th class guy who climbed onto the flag post and released the knot. Every one saluted the flag and sang National Anthem. There were some traditional perfomances like Kolatam by the girls in the school.We also had the village level heads in the function. Sashank and Nikhil gave a nice speech to the kids in the school giving the message to them - Study well and we are there to support them. Village level heads distributed the sweets to kids and left the school.
We made all the kids quickly assemble in the class rooms and started the drawing competition. Most of them drew a village/house sideby a mountain and river. It was a nice participation from all the kids drawing different things. Collected all the sheets from them and our volunteers are the panel to decide the first and second prizes. In the mean , we were interacting with the kids asking them what they want to become in future. Many of them wanted to become doctors, engineers, police, heroes, dancers.
Distributed prizes to the winners in the drawing competition and also a special prize for Akash, a ahandicapped. All of them were happy receiving the prizes. All of us enjoyed the clap show by kids making different sounds from claps and this was the special attraction for the day. Distributed chocolates and biscuits for them and concluded the event. Took a group photo with all the kids and left the school.
Special thanks to all the people who were present for the day. Sunil, Ravi, Swaroop, Sashank, Sravan, Guha, Nikhil, Lakshmi, Geeta, Santosh, Kriti, keerthi, dhana laskhmi, Radha Krishna, Vinay, Tanisha, Ullas are some of our members for the day.

Annual Day Function - SECA - Jayanagar - Bangalore- Nov 21st 2010
This was the last activity of the year 2010.Its from 2 years we have been seeing these kids and sponsoring education for some of them. We were all happy to be with the kids for 2 years watching them closely, going for outings with them, taking them for games mornings, attending some of their bday celebrations.
We assembled near the function hall on time and soon the function started at 6.30PM. Kids came up with amazing dance performances and nice skits in english which made the evening lively and entertaining.Highlight of the day was the performance by the kids for a patriotic song exhibiting different cultures in India. Also the song by the SECA volunteers made the audience enjoy the evening.It was very nice to see the happiness in the parents when their kid was performing on the stage.
Followed by these SECA team gave their annual report and thanked all the teams which helped them throughout the year. Also they gave a certificate "a small thank you for spending time with the kids". To our surprise, we were the first team on the stage that night to receive the certificate. It was a memorable moment for all our members on the stage to hear a big thank you from the kids ."Dear Few Dreams Team - We thank you for spending your time with us, helping us learn and letting us have the fun" was the message on it.Few other groups which helped them in conducting "Theatre and art classes" also received these certificates.
Coming to the last part of the day, Pragati group, a set of girls from the Swagath community had prepared some Hand made gifts which were kept there for a sale. Most of us bought a few gifts to encourage the kids.The event came to an end by distributing snacks to all the people.

Independence Day Celebrations @ Vaabasandra school Aug 15th 2010
Our plan was to celebrate Independence day along with the kids at Vaabasandra school. All of us were very excited about being a part of the celebrations with children on an Independence day. Most of the people responded well to our invitation and made their time for the kids. The school staff were also very happy to see so many of us actively participating. By the time we reached the school, it was 8 AM and all the kids were waiting for us. It was a very nice gathering of 20+ volunteers, 4-5 teachers, 20+ local people, 70-80 kids.
The program started with the flag hoisting by the Head master of the school and the village president followed by Vandemataram and later speeches of the head master and all the local heads of the village. The kids performed dances and songs for some patriotic songs. Even though most of us could not understand kannada, it was nice to be a part of the celebrations. All the small girls in sarees really performed well and everyone liked Krishna between all these girls.
Some of our volunteers (sashank and girish) gave their message to the children in kannada. Sashank was garlanded by the head master of the school on the stage along with the village president. It was the sign of respect that we got from the school. All the people mentioned about the volunteers and our help to the school in the last couple of years, which made all of us happy.
Prizes were distributed for the winners in all the sports events conducted in the school. Village heads distributed 2 note books per head to all the students in the school. Sweets are distributed to all the people and the kids went back to the class rooms.
As soon as they assembled in the class rooms, the drawing competition started.
We distributed all the chocolates and biscuits which we got to all the children. We also had an afternoon meal in the school. We left the kids for their lunch and our volunteer panel selected the winners for drawing. All of them were again arranged in the ground for the final prize distribution of the day after the lunch. We distributed the prizes for all the winners and the drawings made us to give some consolation prizes too for the young kids for their creativity.
We took group photos with all the kids and the teachers in the school. Finally we said them bye and also dropped some of the kids at their home on our way back.
Members from both the teams Few Dreams and Drishtikon actively participated in the celebrations. Ravi,Sunil, Sashank, Vinay, Samrat, Swaroop, Teja, Sravanth, Shubho, Rama Krishna, Santosh, Shiva, Satish, Vamsi, Girish, Naresh, Sagar, Kavya, Radha Krishna were the volunteers for the day.

Book Distribution Drive -Phase 2 & Drawing Competition @ Tumkur - July 24th 2010
All the things were set and we got ready to start our 2nd book distribution drive of the year in Tumkur which is 90 KM from Bangalore. We started at 7AM on 3 bikes and a car with all the books and stationery and reached tumkur by 9AM. It was a splendid drive for all of us and we were enough lucky that it didn’t rain on that day.
They were two govt primary schools which were located in Mysore Army Reserve police academy in Tumkur. The strength of both the schools together is around 130 kids.We interacted with the kids as most of them understood Telugu and conducted the drawing competition. They have come up with some amazing drawing in no time and now its turn to be the panel and decide the first and second prizes. It was a tough call for us to decide the winners as most of them deserve a prize
In the mean time some of us started distributing books and this time we gave them all the stationery they need including the graph books and geometry sets for the higher classes. Finally the list of winners for drawing was decided and we gave them prizes. After that we played some time with the kids and some of us had lunch with them in the afternoon meal program.
The second school which we covered in this phase is an Urdu medium school. It was a nice interaction with them in the classroom, knowing their names and all of them even remembered our names as well. Pradeep, a native of tumkur helped us by guiding us about the routes, restaurants and places to visit in and around Tumkur.
We took a group photo with all the kids and finally said bye to them .It was a heartfelt moment for all the volunteers , with the Kids standing and waving there hands in good bye. All the volunteers were satisfied and all of us went to our school days for some time.
On our way back, we visited DD hills, Namara chilume and some other ancient temples which are 1000 years old. It was a nice road leading us through all the small villages on the way filled with greenery.
Special thanks to Sashank and his group Drishitkon for making all these events a great success. Ravi, sunil, swaroop, samrat, sravan, bhanu, pradeep, sashank. Teja, shubho were the volunteers for the day.
Our next event was Independence Day Celebrations at Vaabasandra school
