Weekend Activities: 21 Nov 2009
I reached IGIA by 2:30 pm and was asked to handle IX Standard. I just advised them on to use dictionary and posed a few questions related to the words they had written from the dictionary. On the later part of the day, a few students from the Zepher group had come to handle IX and VIII standard. We asked them to handle the XI science group students also. They were very much eager to teach the kids of IGIA. Because of their college commitments, they are not able to attend the IGIA students on a regular basis. So we decided that only committed people would be handling X and XI students.
Karthic was handling mathematics for class X and VIII, while Sridhar was handling IX standard in the pre-lunch session. After tea break, Sridhar and I was into XI commerce girls. They were very much interested in Computer Science. So we had to teach them the basics of computers (from io devices, OS, program, interpreter, compiler etc). We spent time till 7:30 pm with the XI commerce girls. They asked us to take them to the computer lab and tell about the various hardware and software. They agreed to write a test on Accounts the next day.
There was a concern from the warden that we have to complete our classes by 5:30 pm. We later spoke to him and explained him about the practical difficulties on completing the classes. We had to tell about the time left over for their exams etc. Finally he was convinced with our words and agreed with a very few conditions, which was fair. These conditions would be posted after discussion/ consultation with the volunteers.
We spoke with the Zepher group in bringing in a doctor whom they know. There is no update from their side till date. We have to get in touch with the concerned person. We need to bring in a doctor for the various medical problems the students have.
While leaving, we discussed with Kokilavani regarding the trip and computer lab for XI students. We got a positive nod for the computer lab immediately. But for the trip, we were told that she has to consult with Mr. Rajan. After this we headed towards the main gate and left IGIA for the day.

It will be good If we have finish the classes before 6pm.We can go there earlier in the morning by 9am itself. This is safe for both the students as well as us.why i am saying this is..they are already having some plan for the daily routine.it should not get affected..
Good job Anup. As mathi pointed out, we will try to finish the classes before 5.30, as these kids have to do the other activities like cooking, washing etc. And regarding the doctor, it will difficult for us to find one, but if we can ask help from localites working in our company, they may help.
