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 17^th 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 19^th.

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
