How about a Community Center?

Here is some good news for all of you. Swarg has ventured into a new program where A tuition center, Children club, and parent club co-exist . In a nutshell, we have formed a community center, which is available all the time for the people living in this community. The area we selected is Pudur Slum area in Ashok Nagar.
Our Project coordinator is Mr. K. P.Karthik who has been running this tuition center for quite some time but this whole community center concept is a Pilot project for both of us. we are very confident that the project will be successful and that we can replicate this model in many down-trodden areas of Chennai and elsewhere.

In the initial phase of discussion 1 month back, we were involved in planning the intricacies of the program.
Last week on Sat, we meet again on the location where a Magazine (Pudiya Thalaimurai )editor covered our story of " Community Center" . They were visibly impressed and so were Swarg members.

What we have done for the past one month?
1. We have formed the library for children, and elder people.
2. Set up 2 computers for Computer coaching and teaching via computer presentations.
3. Set up a tailoring unit(2 sewing machines) for SHG formation and also hired a teacher for this training.
4. Hired 2 teachers to give extra focus on the children in the evenings and a librarian who will go to each house in that community and read a story from a book and tell the importance of educating a child and parental guidance.

Weekend Plan:
1. Computer training
2. Spoken English
3. Sports
4. Meditation
5. personality Development.

There are few volunteers who are willing to come and teach here . They are
1. Mr. Manoj - A project associate in IIT Madras.
2. Mr. Kannan - Whom we met at the community center last week.
We are working out a plan to meet the schedule to render our service.

We wholeheartedly welcome you all to the Swarg Team. Lead the change that u have always dreamt of through Swarg.
Let us make this program a successful and a sustainable one.
