It feels so nice to write and share
the progress of our school
1) The first thing that I would like
to share is something that has touched
my heart deeply... Two children who
have come forward with love to
brighten the children at Gurukulam.
Both of them celeberated their
respective 10th birthday.....but with
such a difference from a normal one.
Trisha celeberated her birthday at the
school itself and gifted all the
children toys, every child went back
with a smile. Rohan, at singapore,
collected money instead of presents
for himself and donated the entire
amount to the children here. My heart
goes out to both of them, and their
parents for showing the way.
2) Our first sponsered lunch started
and our children enjoyed a wholesome
meal. Many more lunches have since
then been sponsered and is going on
with gusto.
3) The parent teacher meeting found us
meeting each parent individually and
every child discussed. We had a good
turn out, 26 out of the 31 parents
turned up. Again in the common
meeting, the goals of the school were
discussed and that we would take all
the children to all the different
places of worship to teach them to
respect all religions was reiterated.
4) We have decided to come out with
greeting cards for the coming season.
We hope to raise money by sale of
these cards. Again we have been
blessed to see generosity flowing....
The first year students of M.O.P
Vaishnav College have come out with
120 paintings and drawings for the
cards. Ravi Shankar, the artist who
has donated 30% of his sale proceeds
to Gurukulam has again come forward to
give a good part of his card's sale to
the school. They should be circulated
very soon. Please do choose your card
requirement from us :-)
5) Saraswathi pooja, a festival
towards the Godess of learning was
celeberated and the children had fun.
6) We have recieved a lot of toys for
our children, specially from our well
wishers in Singapore. Needless to say,
it has brightened many a face. Whats
been surprising me, is that all the
children have been sharing and playing
with the toys so happily.
7) The first medical camp has been
arranged in Nov.
8) The art that the children are
producing under the guidance of Mrs
Sajitha Ravishankar keeps amazing me.
They are put up in the notice board
for all to see.
9) The kempo classes have been
progressing well with Natalie Cornish
joining in to volunteer. She has been
a Godsend as our regular academic
teacher has had to go on medical
leave, and she has been working full
time to teach the LKG section.
Its your continued support that is
making all this happen. On behalf of
the children I THANK YOU all.
