WHAT'S NEW!
Project School Kit
In our ongoing endeavour to improve the quality of primary school education, The Family India, through the kindness of concerned sponsors, recently supplied school kits to over 400 orphans/underprivileged children in and around Chennai. This kit consists of a high quality school bag, geometry set, hygiene kit, towel and chappals.
Carnival for Orphans and Underprivileged children
A day of carnival games, prizes, food and fun for over 500 orphaned and underprivileged children was recently organized, thanks to the kind sponsorship of local friends in the business community.
Kelambakkam School
The Kelambakkam school caters to deaf and mentally retarded Children from the rural areas of Tamil Nadu. The Family India has been closely associated with this school for more than a decade. Since The Family India also provides personality development training to hearing impaired youth in Chennai, these youth form an integral part of our work with the deaf children at Kelambakkam School. Over the past year, we have:
* Refurbished the school’s dining room
* Repainted the classroom for the mentally retarded Children
* Provided books, puzzles, wall charts and learning aids for the children
* Refurbished all the school’s blackboards and tubelights
* Provided a computer for the use of the school’s students
* We also took all the children for a day’s outing to the zoo, and conducted several motivational programs, with the aid of our deafvolunteers
While it is true that the global economic situation is grim, we also need to remember that…“He who loses money loses much, but he who loses faith loses all.” - Faith defined as “that wonderful assurance that God will help us through every circumstance of our lives.” It is important to keep our faith and sense of optimism strong in trying times and that is something that we at The Family India are committed to helping others to do. We do this by conducting motivational seminars and workshops on the subject of staying positive despite the gathering gloom enfolding the world. Our seminars help attendees learn to adopt a positive outlook even in the midst of difficult circumstances and become forces of positive change in a negative world.
