Fee for Second Term, Firstyear

The Fee for the second term of the first year was paid with which we have successfully completed the first year.
Like to thank all the sponsors who made this possible and wish you will continue the same.
You will shortly receive the report cards of your students and a handwritten thankyou note for your contributions from the students.

This year we are trying to increase the number of students as much as we can. In doing so we are seeking help from few people who are trying to get us the list of the drop outs from various schools this year which also will have the reason for leaving. Using this we are trying to pick few good students so that they can continue.

Apart from the aforementioned details we are also working on few things to see if we can try them and succeed.We will keep posting all the things we do and will continue to wait for your suggestions and improvements as always.

Probably some of you who come across such students this year can write to us at ourrevolutions@gmail.com so that we can help them.

Regards,
Team Revolutions.

Books Distribution

Hi All,

Luckily we keep getting chance after chance to help some one. This time its for the Engg. Students.

Cheyootha society is coming up with a Non Profit library which will help Engg. students with books as they have noticed that many of the students cant spare money for books.

We can donate our old Engg. books ( If you still hold them).so that they stay in the library and will be useful for many people.

Please let us know your views to ourrevolutions@gmail.com or contact bhaskar @ +91 98867 70051 for any suggestions or queries.

I wish this will also be a success.

We are also having a discussion on collecting and distributing old cloths, please let us know if there is some organization which is in need of old cloths so that we can work out a plan and help them.

Medical Help for students from govt school and juvenile home

This time we got a chance to help the students from govt school for boys and juvenile home in
mangalam,tpt.

We came to know this through sunil from the cheyoothasociety who got the information from dr. santhosh that several street children from that poor home suffering from skin diseases, we funded them to buy the medicines, ointments, some health oils suggested by Dr. santhosh and Dr. Narendra Ms.Ortho and helped the cheyoothasociety in a small way possible to make this camp a success.

Also like to thank kishore and Bhaskar for their donations and sunil for doing a great job constantly for so long.

You can get to know about cheyootha at http://cheyoothasociety.googlepages.com/. They deserve a special mention.


As mentioned before, please let us know if there is any problem where we can lend our help. We will discuss and let you know if we can help them in any way.

Thought for the day

Social service should not become show-cial work (!) carried out for publicity or with the camera in view. Nor should it become slow-cial(!) work. Why go slow, when you are doing good to the deserving? Do as much as you can, as quickly as you can. If you cannot do any good, at least desist from doing harm; or from finding fault with those who serve you. Know that service is a better form of sadhana (spiritual effort) than even dhyaana (meditation). How can God appreciate the meditation you do, when adjacent to you, is someone in agony, whom you do not treat kindly, for whom you do not make all efforts to help?
Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray

Suggestions are WELCOME for the upcoming events.

Republicday Event

Hi,

Good to hear that the Republicday event went on better than the actual plan.

Cant stop thanking Bhaskar and Shakeer for their time and for the way they have organized everything.

It was organized at BASAVA RAJA Govt High School, Punganur, Chittor Dist, AP.
They started off with all the packets of clothes directly to the school and were well received by the school staff with Bhaskar and Shakeer being special guests.
As Head of institution requested , Bhaskar addressed the gathering on behalf of REVOLUTIONS in inspirational way. Finally School uniforms were distributed to Fifteen student who are poor and intelligent.

Happy to see the photos although i would have been more than happy if i were a part of this very good event.

We shall come up with a similar events every month along with the progress of the registration.

Thanks all for your support.
Also like to thank Suresh who as a old student of the same school, supported REVOLUTIONS by reducing the stitching fee by great amount.

Cheers,
Diwakar

Plans for this Republic Day-------------Need your help.

Hi,

Wishing a very happy new year to the team and our well wishers.

Also we have decided to donate a fax,xerox,scanner machine to velugu school which will be useful during the examinations.
Incase you want to visit/donate to the disabled, do visit

Have to specially thank Bhaskar for making all the arrangements.

PLANS AHEAD

Our Next steps include registering The revolutions. We are in discussion with some people who were already associated with the same. This registration will be an important step which would help as a platform for many future steps.

Looking forward from many of you to inspire people help the deserved.

NEXT UPDATE

There was an MOU ( Memorandum of Understanding ) signed with the School and our team on 13th of August.Kishore, Bhaskar & Myslef went down to sanitorium to meet the director. This open ended MOU will be a generic one which speaks about the Legal Do's and Don'ts in our relation with the school.

Apart from this there will be a letter which will be renewed every year based on the number of students we sponsor, names of the students and the sponsors

Our plan is to roll out the same to many such schools where we get a chance to find out the deserved students.

First Step

As a first step,

We have shortlisted 10 students varying from class four to class ten, each one attached to each person of "Revolutions" who will be taking care of the same,starting from july '07.

Wishing my team a good success.

Let us NOT just GIVE and FORGET!!

As an early step of 'The Revolutions' let us find an alternative to 'just giving something to someone assuming that it would eventually reach that someone who is in real need of what you give'. We know it was quite a complex sentence and what we are planning to do is also a little complex than just taking a small bit out of our salaries and donating to charity. We have to put in some non-obligatory responsibility to make sure that what we donate doesn't go waste. To explain, let us take the example of helping poor and bright students: Once we identify the right and deserving candidates to be helped, as Diwakar said, each one of us can take responsibility of one(or may be more) student(s) and start with helping them by paying their school fees, purchasing books, etc and then visit them without fail once in a while to keep them motivated.

Our visiting the students is in many ways very important and the reasons for that follow... This way, we would be in touch with the actual students whom we would be helping and more importantly would be very satisfied to know that what we had spent has not gone waste. This would encourage us to do what we do year after year and may be to more students. More over, this would also inspire the other students who may not have had a sponsor, to try to improve their academic performance as we would make it clear that academic performance is one of the key criteria to get a sponsor. This should result in a good positive and competitive environment among the students, which would, may be result in many of them improving themselves to ultimately lead a better life and may be even join us in helping more such deserving candidates in the future. All of this would be happening in front of us as we would be getting regular updates on the academic performances of students we all sponsor, so that we would never feel a disconnect. What more could we ask for?

-Uttam for 'The Revolutions'

Your Ideas

I welcome all of you to come forward with your ideas if any about other ways we actually could move forward.

Thanks in advance,

Team Revolutions.

Future Plans

We are starting with education to few school children who are carefully picked up ( who are in really need of a sponsor)

Each selected student will be assigned to a member of the revolutions and he/she will have the privelage to look at his/her progress and can be aware of where actually is his money going.

We are trying to start with the 2007-2008 academic year, starting with july-07. with 10 children to monitor how well we can organise this and hoping that the team grows in years to come.

Personally like to thank "Uttam" , for helping us find the Students.

The Revolutions

Atlast our dreams of starting "The Revolutions" are slowly but truly coming true.

We would like to start this with thanking all our friends who are constantly encouraging us and highly supporting us from the last two years in not loosing our motivation.

Thanking you all,
Team Revolutions.
Lets start serving in all the ways we actually could.
