AKSHARAM ADDAGUTTA-Management Change

Hi all,

There is a small announcement from AMMA team. We sent many mails in BosF seeking your advise when we started work in Mondi Banda slum (near Addagutta). It has been a great journey and the school has been established well.

Our volunteer, Ranganath, expressed his wish to handle the project on his own and take the complete responsibility. As per the request of Ranganath, we, AMMA team, decided to leave the management of activities in Mondi Banda slum to him. We wish him all the very best and are ready to extend our help, if required.

I take this opportunity to thank all the AMMA & BOSF volunteers and donors who are responsible for the present state of the school to the present state. Right from convincing the parents to send the children to school to gaining the confidence of children and recognizing, encouraging their talent, they did their best. This has been a great and valuable learning experience for AMMA team in all aspects.

All the Best to Ranganath & Team who takes the complete ownership of the school from this academic year.

Love all-Serve all

VISION & MISSION 

• Motivating children & Parents towards joining them in regular schooling & teaching life skills, discipline and basic education  
• We are open to work with any NGO/Association/Individual but they should be able to work under/with AKSHARAM Coordinating Team, who has total awareness about the Slum, Parents, Students & other related conditions.

This is one of the hardest project of educating uninterested children & parents in Slums, who habituated to begging and rag picking. But with all our Volunteers dedicated efforts we are observing change and even parents coming forward to help us in this journey.

Kudos one and all who directly & indirectly supporting this Project.
