Good News about Velu

Hi All,

         As you are aware about Velu ( The Accident Victim whom we helped in getting operated, Read here ). He is 75 % fit now. He will have to wait for 1-2 months for the bone to get completly fixed but he started  driving once in a while and started earning slowly. He also promised us that he will donate 500 for the next event to be conducted by our REVOLUTIONS team. 

 Never felt so happy :) 

As they say "PAY IT FORWARD"

Loud and Sound we say - JAI HO!!!

Yes Team,

It's the time to congratulate each other JAI HO as this event was a huge success and has definitely added a feather in the cap of Our Revolutions. This is a BIG event from Revolutions team so far that has incorporated the value of Education in many lives. Every moment was exciting for us as we were able to plant yet another Stem of Education in Our Revolutions tree. And the Success Spree continues....

To brief you the event, Its a govt. program about bringing back the drop outs to school and also to educate people in joining the kids to school. We decided to encourage all the new joinees with all the stationary required.Our team has reached the village "Balanayini palli" on 20-June-09 at 10 AM and received a warm welcome from School Management and Staff. Strength of around 100 students was present for the event. We have many more guests like MLA, ZPTC, MPP & MEO who attended the function on behalf of Education Board of Govt.

The program was initiated by Principal of Balanayini palli school explaining the importance of Education in every one's life and the encouragement that Revolutions team is providing for Education. After this, we had a good interaction with Staff over there and got to know the reasons behind the hampering in Education start up. The discussions we had with many parents were heart moving and they were very thankful for our concern towards their lives. We made most of them realize the importance of schooling in every kid's life. Then the actual event has kicked off with the distributions as our team has chipped in to donating the stationary items to the kids. After we finished the program in Balanayani palli, the event was extended to Nimmanapalli, and then to other Villages. As promised, we were able to spread the Happy learning in all the ways we can. Overall the time we spent with kids was so cheerful.

Here are some highlights of the event.

  • Our Contributions were made towards the Program BADI BATA which is to bring back the drop outs to the school and also join the new ones. AKSHARABHYASAM is a shorter version of the event which is dedicated only to KG Kids.
  • We have gifted the stationary items to totally 450 students. The kit includes a School bag, Notebook, Slate, Pencil and Eraser.
  • Team has spent some valuable time with the Parents. We were very successful in motivating the parents in making them believe that education is the most important thing that paves success in everyone's life
  • In Balinayani palli, we have announced that we would give 500 rs as gift money to the top three students in the class and also would pay for their books the next year.
  • The team has also interacted with Press people and spent some time in answering their questions and also conveyed the Motto behind Our Revolutions. They have promised us that they will help us in identifying the needy in future.

Aksharabhyasam- A new platform for Revolutions



Hi All,

Here comes a new platform for Revolutions-"Aksharabhyasam". As the Academic year 2009-10 starts for the Children, Team Revolutions is geared up for a big event which helps many kids in their Education Startup.

We had a break for two months as we required some time for capturing the exact information and planning regarding this. Hence we needed an extra mile in converting our plans to on paper implementations and all set for this in a short time.

About Aksharabhyasam, is a program dedicated in encouraging every Child to know the value of their Education in their early stages. For this we have gathered information from reliable sources (Officers in charge for education for few Mandals - Luckily it was one of our members Father) in a few villages near MPL with which our initial estimation has strength of 450 children.

As a part of that, we decided to donated some basic needs like Slates, Notebooks, Stationary kits and School bags from Revolutions team to each and every student. We are confident that this is a quality time for gifting, Educating and sharing, to show how much we care for their Education. As they start their Academic year, let us donate some basic needs of Education to those who have not been as fortunate.

That's the event we have planned to start this academic year. All the time we were moving ahead with a great faith on the spirit and enthusiasm of our friends and so we were able to succeed in organizing these activities. We expect the same support from all of you.

So please do send us the feedback/queries/suggestions to Ourrevolutions@Gmail.com by End of this week (13-June-09) as we can start our preparations in the coming week.

Further interested members can send their contributions to the following A/C followed by an intimation mail.

Name: Bhaskar Sandra
ICICI A/C No- 029701002755.


Venue Details will be mailed soon.

We call for volunteers to spend some quality time with these children to know them, and let them know the importance of Education.
Let’s spread the Happy Learning in all the ways we can.

Thank you
Team Revolutions
