Neeraja and Pavan visited Begur School for the installation of science and computer lab on the 12th of September
It was a 3 month long effort to finally get the project approved. It all started with the introduction of the School Adoption program in May this year by Honeywell CSR team. It struck to me that Begur School may require some facilities that we may have to take up. Dr. Ramana Rao who is associated with this place (T.Begur) felt that education facilities would help the village a lot. He coordinated with the school head-master and principal and provided us with the information required to apply with the school adoption program.
We conduct Sugar and BP tests for all the people first and find the poor who can't afford to buy those medicines. We need to provide medicines for one person for 6 months at least, costs Rs.2400 (app.). Based on the severity condition of the patient, economic status, availability of medicines for 6 months, we select the patients. If we get more donors to support for this cause, we will support more people based on the list we have.
Later Neeraja could get the school adoption program approved after some initial road-blocks. The science lab has all the basic equipment that are required for the students of standard 8th to 10th to conduct experiments and thus learn the practical aspects explained in their textbooks. Three computers have been provided with a complete set of Digital learning DVD's which shall aid the student's learning process. In due course of time we would evaluate the utilization of the lab and provide inputs to the students and teachers where required. The science lab would not only be used by the school at Begur but also the schools in the adjoining locality which also lack these facilities.
- We are thankful to the Honeywell CSR team and Dr. Ramana Rao for helping us to accomplish this.
- Very special thanks to Neeraja for making this event happen.
