Hi All, I couldn't find the mail that Prasanthi had sent asking for ideas of new year celebrations and our anniversary celebrations. Let us now target only for one event - New Year. Here is my proposal.
We are having nearly 15 solid days (actually 20), we can find out about orphanges, old age homes, and some other organizations. Here, some other refers to one of the particular group who feed the homeless daily. It is near Kothapet. I have read about it some time back. Need to check for the location of the same. What this group does is - they daily feed the homeless, esp in the nights. What can we do if: Orphange : Spend time with them. Food costs for that one day will be paid by us to the management Old Age home: same as above. Both Orphange and Old Age Home : take the children to the old people and spend a day with them. The group I was talking above : Can understand how they are working and can offer our services - like clothes distribution. What does spending with the old age people / kids actually mean? -> Find out how many are capable of doing small works - like candle making, rakhi making, etc (suggest few more here) -> Learn how they are living? Can we help them to improve their standards of living, if the present one is not good. -> Learn from the kids about their future dreams and spread a word of SAC (Support A Child) through various organizations. ASHA for education is actually going to implement SAC going forward. So, we can offer them for the target children. They can help us in finding the donors. Let us utilize this new year day to understand how can we make ourselves better to understand our stand and how to help others. I know it is more like a bhaashan...Can some one cut it out and target one particular idea. Nextly, the above are not my ideas.. They were our ideas which got lost somewhere.. (Since I am also lost, I met them and presenting them now.. :P ) Friendly Regards, Vani. -- "The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating.
