17th June 2012 @ Nesam Illam


As a part of Girideepam Initiatives, we had a wonderful time at the Nesam Orphanage, on 17th June 2012, bonding with the children there and playing games with them.

Girideepam Volunteers:

1. Ulaganathan
2. Sandeep Kanabar
3. Karthik
4. Chandramouli
5. Ramanathan 
6. Nepolean

The following activities were undertaken:

1. Distribution of chocolates [20 perks] to children
2. Distribution of Girideepam Initiatives School Bags [13 bags]
3. Distribution of Lunch from Hot Chips [17 Mini Meals]

From the 15 school bags [9 medium + 6 large], 8 medium and 5 large were distributed. Thus 2 school bags [1 large and 1 medium] are remaining with me. We can use this if we fell short of bags in other orphanages. Lets act on this at the earliest. 

The children rarely get to eat good food. So we decided to give them lunch from Hot Chips

June 17,2012.@ Vallalar Gurukulam, Medavakkam


On June 17th we assembled in Vallalar Gurukulam, Medavakkam for our monthly activity.
This time it’s school re-opening time and so decided to sponsor school bags for the kids.
The price of one school bag is Rs.360 and it had the tag of “Girideepam Initiative” engrossed in it.
As per our plan we ordered the school bags for 28 kids and the bags are of small, medium and large size for the students of different classes.
Additionally, we bought slippers for all the kids in the home.
First we distributed the slippers and the children were happy to see those colorful slippers.. J
Since we couldn’t get the exact size for some of the kids we took them to the nearby shop and bought for them.
After these events we had our team meeting with the volunteers.
We discussed regarding the activities we will do on August 19th.
As you all know there is going to be a big event on August 19, 2012 where we are going to assemble 5 orphanages together and get the sponsorship for those kids who excel in their studies, extra-curricular activities, etc.
Though we will be sending u a mail about the plans and events on that day we request you to block your calendar on that day and meet those kids who aspire for a bright future.
We would love to meet all the contributors and volunteers in August… J
Thanks for your contribution and support and looking forward the same in future.. J
Your comments and suggestions are welcome.. !!!

Nesam Illam - Medical Camp

Our team visited one of the well-known orphanages, Nesam Illam on 18th March, 2012.

Add caption

The orphanage is located at Valasaravakkam, Chennai. There were about 18 children in the age group of 2 to 14. Mr. Paul takes care of these kids. We had decided to conduct Medical camp for the kids in that home. Apart from General checkup, we had also planned for dental checkup for those kids. We all gathered there around 10’o clock in the morning… (It seems like too early as it is Sunday J). 
Apart from essential items, our team also offered Medicines, Stationery, Sewing machine and Induction stove to the inhabitants of the orphanage. Picasa Web
Ms. Jessita Veeramallu offered training to orphanage warden to stitch some small items such as pouches, hand-craft embroidery, etc. which can be taught to those kids in future.  Some of our volunteers got mobile pouches and some people ordered too to encourage her. The warden is taking care of the kids during week-ends as she is working as a tailor in a garment shop during the rest of the week. One granny is taking care of those kids during weekdays.
Doctors arrived and the medical checkup started. Meanwhile we had arranged for the drawing competition and games that was likely to be held up in the afternoon session.
Both doctors gave the report that the children are physically good. After the medical camp, we conducted drawing competition and some games for the kids. Also the children were trained on some handicraft work with thermocol sheets. After spending some quality time with the kids we had cake cutting and distribution of chocolates and snacks.
We distributed prize for the drawing competition and also gifts to the kids. The children in the nearby area also participated in the games and competition. We all had a photo session with our team and enjoyed the day with lot of satisfaction and happiness.
Special thanks to our friend Dr. Raji and Dr. Somasundaram (Dentist) for helping us in this medical camp.
Thanks to Narmadha Devi (Volunteer), Ram Kumaran (Volunteer and Photographer), Raghavan (Shade Founder), Jhanani Priya (Writer and Shade Volunteer), Sandhiya and Aishwariya (Shade Volunteers), Subhashini (Volunteer) and Chandru (Volunteer) for joining us on this wonderful day.

Girideepam Event On Hanuman Jayanthi & Christmas


     It was a wonderful day 24/12/2011  and 25/12/2011  as we celebrated Hanuman Jayanthi & Christmas with the children of God. The home for those kids has been located in Medavakkam, Chennai and the person who is taking care of these kids is Mr.Vinoth.



       As we have already visited this home once it was easy for us to locate and reach there in time. The kids could also identify us very well (They have a good memory capacity). As soon as we entered they started wishing us
“Happy Christmas”. We have arranged for a Medical camp for those children. Though they seem to be very thin in appearance doctors ensured that they are in good health condition except two kids. One had stammering problem and doctor  Dr. Mohmad Yhasin ., MBBS MD - Pediatrician recommended to take him to GH for Speech therapy and Vinoth told that he is taking him to Hindu Mission hospital for Speech Therapy.






 Another girl seemed to be very anemic and Dr.Raji gave her the medicines to improve her health. Apart from this Dr.Raji., MBBS gave medicines for common health problems they may incur in future. To our surprise some senior citizens and women in the neighborhood also attended our camp and got consultation from our doctors.










After this medical check- up it’s time for us to have some fun. So we conducted some fun events.



A guy who is interested in Chess started playing with one of Volunteer named Sandeep. Other kids started playing with balloons. One of our volunteer Ram brought his camera to capture these celebrations. And it was a thrilling experience as some posed for the camera and some took pictures of others with the help from Ram.



Then we asked the children to introduce them and get their Christmas gifts. The kids after introducing them started singing and dancing and happily received their gifts. Meanwhile the event was interrupted by a sponsor who sponsored special lunch for those kids came there to celebrate Christmas. 

And it was followed by cake cutting and lunch. And we also took some break and had lunch in a nearby hotel.

Post lunch we again reached the home and started distributing cakes and chocolates for the kids. And they have also started getting ready for a dance show in nearby place as a part of Christmas celebrations.


Finally we bade Good bye to those God’s kids and left the home with a happy heart.
 
Thanks to all those volunteers who helped the kids and made this Christmas to be a memorable day in their life. And special thanks to Dr. Raji and Dr. Yasin who helped us to conduct medical camp. Ram who captured these joyful moments.

Thanks to special visitors .Mrs.Santhi, Mr. Babu, Miss.Subhashini, Mr.Bahagidran , Mrs.Chadrasakar, Mr.Krish, Mr. Saravanan, Mr.Chandramouli, Mrs. Archana and her cute daughter Sivashankari.
