MONDI BANDA NAGAR (ADDAGUTTA) SLUM OVER VIEW

MONDI BANDA NAGAR (ADDAGUTTA) SLUM OVER VIEW

Mondi Banda Nagar Slum is located near Addagutta, behind R.R.C Ground, Secunderabad. Around 22 houses (hut) are there with a population of around 40 adults and 30-40 children. Most of the families belong to Cheruvupalli village, Guntur District. They are residing here from last 30 years. All are Rag picker’s (who collects/separates Plastic, Iron, Paper etc., from roads and dirty canals).  They earn around 1000 to 1500/- per week.

They go to work at 4 A.M and return between 1 to 3 PM. Most of them are uneducated; they don’t think and take proper care about their children future and brought up. Their surroundings are full of dust and waste. So cleanliness, hygiene etc., are very low. It comes under a HARD CORE SLUM, where people are very rude, harsh and habituated to many bad habits.

Our ground work & efforts

Even though it is very difficult to expect a change, we decided to work on this (SLUM). We need to be Patience, Planned, Positive, Dedicated, Disciplined and determined to change their attitude. Fortunately our Volunteer Team i.e. Ranganath; Team have all the above and extracting results in the short term and trying to retain the same for long term.

We are working hard in every corner to change their attitude and teach education and morals.

• Conducting daily 2 hours classes for children, which include games, Sports, Story Telling and other recreational activities
• Taken a separate room nearby for these classes
• Repeated hut-to-hut counseling to their parents.
• Distributing snacks ; other food related stuff those who attended the classes, to attract them.
• Joined them in nearest Govt. schools but they didn’t resisted
• “Go School Campaign conducted with the help of Sri. Sarada garu
• Conducted Medical Camps & trying from every corner
• Contacted Slum head and nearest area political leader to have a word with these slum people regarding their children schooling and
• We are winning their hearts with our love and care. Bond was already established among us.

ABOUT PROJECT “AKSHARAM”

We have different projects, in which we have a specific Project “AKSHARAM “targeting Slum Children to provide Education and Hygiene. As a part of this we have selected the Mondi Banda Nagar Slum located behind R.R.C. Ground, Secunderabad (Please refer the attached Sheet for total slum overview).

There are nearly 30-40 children who are not going to school. Their daily agenda includes begging, playing in the dust etc. Our Active volunteer Mr. D. Ranganath brought this to our notice and is very keen to work on this slum.  Our Management Bench agreed to go on after considering the merits and demerits and having in-depth analysis about this slum ; its environment.

Mr. D. Ranganath and Team is working hard from past 2 months to motivate and attract the children ; their parents towards need for education, hygiene and better living standards.

With all the support from Smt. Sarada Garu and School Management we succeeded in joining 19 children in the school. To increase this number and ensure the continuity we need your aid/assistance for this project.

Distribution of Idly Packets to Road side needy ones

Hi Friends,

 

On the occasion of Karthika Pournima (Novermber,10) we have distributed more than 60 idly packets to the people on roads. We have devided into two teams. Prabha and Manoj is one team who covered S.R. Nagar, Ameerpet, Begum pet areas and distributed packets to the needy. I and Kanaka Rao is another team who covered Bulkumpet, Sanath Nagar, Father Nagar, and Erragadda Areas. It is first time in my life to do like this and I really got a marvelous experience.

Re: Share and Care Project - Sivananda Rehabilitation Center

 - Hi Friends,

As per the Schedule we have visited Sivananda Rehabiliation Center on Saturday Evening (5-7.30PM). Generally we always get fun and joy with Children Unit. But this time it is from other corner i.e.Old age Home.

All the children were eagerly watching movie in DD Channel at the time of our arrival. They will only get this chance on Saturday and Sunday so we didn't intended to disturb them. But we have few minutes there. Children showed their drawings very enthusiastically. They are fully talented in Drawing. We wondered after watching their pictures. Then we moved to Old age home unit.

Here we have lots of chats with all over the home after distribution of Fruits and Biscuit packets. Every Participant of AMMA has sung song to entertain them, which was the inspiring factor. From many of us reduced their fear up to some extent by open up their self.

Then we moved to children ward again, but unfortunately they were on eating mood…..We distributed Biscuit Packets and bananas and retuned.

After one year gap our old active member Ch.Sireesha attended along with her husband.

Participants

1. S.V.Adi Lakshmi
2. V.Haritha
3. D.Prabha
4. Suneetha (Prabha Friend)

Re: VISiT OF WISE MEN'S FOUNDATION, VIZAG

From: jagadish kasina Date: Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 7:13 AM

Hi swamy,

Sorry for delay in reply.

I am very much aware that when I visited wisemen foundation she asked help to provide enough space to all people those who are residing at home.

I have already sent my opinion regarding this on my previous mail by saying that we can support her.

Right now we can give support to her, because as per my conversation with her while visited this home, I understood that she is looking for help from us.

Now you are saying can we support on monthly basis. Is she asked any other help apart from proving shelter?

If she asks help for maintenance, we can donate Rs. 2000 for 2 or 3 months, later based on her initiatives we will discuss whether to extend our support of not, this is my opinion only better to consult every member in this regard.

We can also support, if she asks help for construction. But it better to confirm one thing. Whether she is planning to renovate existing room on terrace or building a new home where she has place?

First of all let us know what her plans are. You just ask her regarding this in your next conversation with her.

Based on her views we can discuss at our meeting.

Thanks,

K. Veerabhadran.

Hi All

Hope you all doing great.

On 18-10-2010 (Monday day) I have visited Wisemen foundation, Vizag. Mounika Garu, is the founder of this organization. Along with 5 active volunteers Mounika garu running this home smoothly. I have reached at around 10.00 AM to that home and distributed Apples, had discussed about the daily activities of the home.

Even though it is not an old age home maximum persons residing at the home are old people only, Around 20 old people and 2 children are staying in this home, apart from this every month Wisemen foundation provides ration to 30 persons, those who are financially weak.

Now, Wisemen foundation does not have enough space to provide shelter to all needy old people, Mounika garu asked help to renovate a room on balcony, which is not in use right now, due to congest at present room, she is also thinking to shift this home to some other place, actually she has her own premises at Vizag city outskates. So she plans to construct a house for running this home.

After discussing about their activities, other things I returned at 11.30 AM.

I think at least if we give financial support for renovating room, it will be useful for them. 

Thanks

K.Veerabhadran
