First time I think I've actually explored the Touching Lives Section and lo behold...

Cobain, I'm not exactly sure about what you mean by community service centers but if its organisations that actually do some sort of community work then I can recommend something I've had opportunity to get acquainted with.

It's called the Missionaries of Charity, I'll be visiting it when I come to Baroda in anycase and I think Ritesh(Euphoria) mentioned that he'd be going over there with some friends on Sunday, so maybe you can tag along with them as well.

I had brought up this place a while back... you can find some of those archives here

Nice to see that someone's interested

I'll be in Baroda on April 8th. It would really be great if some people went on to that place, and since it's holiday season again for a lot of you maybe you could try doing what I had talked about earlier regarding some interactive counselling sessions for the older kids.

Err Cobain, your avatar is confusing me...you a guy or a gal?

Great initiative, Cobain.

Something which all of us have been thinking of but cudn't start coz of lack of any concerete efforts on our part.

There are few people, say 4-5, at the moment and we have decided to visit the place Every Sunday in the first half for 1-2 hrs.

Few things we have planned out are,

1. Career guidance to those who are in 10th, 12th and college
2. Computer education (IMS owner has been generous enough to offer his computer facilities to educated these orphans)
3. Job oriented training - This would help them develop skills required for a particular job which, in turn, wud help them have at least a descent job which would make them self sufficient.

Also, there are small kids which really need a touch of love which we can bring in just by visiting/talking/laughing/playing with them.

These are the main objectives we have thought of so far. Anyon'es valuable suggestions would be the most welcome.

Check ur PM to find the contact details.

Finally this tree bears fruit

Nicely set agenda there Ritesh, and I think I'll have to send a few boxes of Pedas over to Sriram for his generous offer.

It all looks good uptil now, would love to see it all getting implemented.

If we can setup a good model here I was thinking maybe Sriram could project it forward to the IMS HQ so that they can start replicating it. Just imagine the cascade effect to that.
Before I get far ahead of myself, lets see something happen first

@j0

Thanks for the work of appreication.

But, yes, as you said, let us first build the base on the conceret action which you would see much sooner!

Yeah, Sriram has been committed since the days we planned the things out last year. Also, I would talk to him now, if you can give us some extra better inputs.

Will keep the peepz posted.

Taking further the plans, we have planned the visit to missionaries on 02.04.2006, Sunday (approximately) 2.00 - 4.00 pm. I am not sure about the timing, but, I would check it out and will let you all know.

Those who are ready just register your availability and presence here. I'd pm you my contact details or may you do the same. We all would get in touch and will proceed to the place.

Place:

Missionaries of Charity
Makarpura
Legend : before GIDC/Bus depot on the left hand side while going towards Highway.

Ciao.

Ritesh, I hope you've talked to someone at the place before you go visiting.
If there hasn't been too much change in the organisation, please see to it that Sister Janvi or Sister Meena are present.

2 to 4 might not be a great time coz it'll be just after lunch and if I remember correctly most of the kids take a nap coz its pretty hot roundabout then.

I will be taking the liberty of posting the progress on what happens in Baroda over here

Will try and hook up with you folks while I'm there, maybe at Missionaries itself.

ps: the biggest landmark there would be the Novino Batteries right opposite the place.
