Udhayam Activities - August Update

Hi all, Greetings from Udhayam Welfare Foundation. I'm pretty much happy to inform that our Second release of Udhayam Welfare Foundation's Monthly magazine "Vidiyal" was released today. I take this oppurtunity to thank Mathi and Sridhar for their wonderful job in editing the magazine and releasing it. Also I thank all the contributors for the magazine. I will post a link to the magazine soon.

Meanwhile this month we're planning to carry on the following activities as part of our Udhayam Activities.

1. Registering the Group - Mathi and Sridhar went to the registrar office on last saturday, and it looks like, the memorundum and Rules and Regulations form should all be typed in Kannada, and all the forms to be submitted for registration should be in Kannada. Because of this we're also thinking of registering the group in Tamil Nadu.
2. AET Activities - We've already paid the monthly fees for Manjula and Nandhini, and we're also planning to buy the kids dresses, toys, notebooks, and some food items. From now-onwards, we're planning to buy only healthy foods like dates, fruits etc, instead of sweets.
3. IGIA Activities - We're planning to repair/buy new water tanks to the school, as the old ones were in pretty bad shape. Also we've found sponsors for helping the school with infrastructure development, but we're waiting for the hand-written letter from the school management, with which we can start the activities, with the help of the sponsors. Also we're planning to buy Sweaters, Mats, Pillows, Blankets for the kids, as the climate in Bangalore is getting colder everyday, and the kids were really struggling without these basic amneties.

And about our regular visit to the school, last sunday, Mathi, Sri, Gomathy, Karthi, Shanmugam, and new members Kishore and SriHarsha visited AET orphanage. There they distributed the dates (sponsored by Supriya) to the kids. Apart from the dates they also distributed Mangoes, and Oranges to the kids. And the monthly school fee of Rs.540 for Manjula and Nandhini was also paid. Here are some of the snaps we took on last week's visit.

I'm really happy to announce that from mid of july, around 6 new members joined our group. Also we're getting good support from lot of people. But the sad part is there is not enough volunteers to carry forward the weekend activities.

I would be happy to hear from volunteers who can help us in weekend activities. Also I'm eagerly waiting for the comments from all of the members.

I once again thank you all for your wonderful support.
