AKSHARA PATASALA - -Education for Children in Slums - AMRU NAGAR BANJARA THANDA, KARMIKA NAGAR & VENKATESWARA NAGAR

Hi,

We planned and decided to conduct regular Evening classes to AMRU NAGAR THANDA children. We started one Slum School at Amru Thanda and extended our Services to Two nearest Slums i.e. Karmika Nagar & Venkateswara Nagar. So now we have 3 Slum Schools in Bala Nagar

Along with SERVE THE NEEDY GROUP are supporting Mr. Prasad’s efforts. This is a Joint Project and 60-75% of the Financial Support is from SERVE THE NEEDY GROUP only. Apart from this in all other things we have equal participation.

LOCATION: - This is located in an industrial area between Bala Nagar and Moosapet. There are more than 100 families located adjacent to a canal, which is full of dust. All these are asbestos constructions.

Most of them are working in the near by industries and getting 2000-3000/- per month. Few of them have interest in studies but due to lack of guidance they are not continuing the same.

Most of the Children are not interested to go for schooling. They are going for playing, begging and other informal things.

INITIATION: - Mr. Prasad, who is working in an industry near to the slum, has identified  this slum and interacted with the people more than a month and acquired some rapport and decided to provide education to these little kids and interested people who discontinued their studies.

Mr. Prasad and Laxman approached us & Serve the Needy team to plan the things here to provide basic education to these children.

OUR PLANS: - After having several visits and contacting the thanda persons we decided to conduct regular classes (6-8pm) here.  We appointed a teacher for Rs.1500/- up to 1month.we thought we can get clear picture and assess their response with in couple of months and then decide the future plans.

From 26th January, 2011 we started the classes in this Thanda.
