SWARG focusing at two new project which is yet to be started. We look forward for your continuous support for this project to make it an grand success.
Here goes the project details
Project 1:
Background:
As many of you are aware that there are places where still the quality of education needs to be improved, we have acknowledged 5 corporation schools in chennai where the quality of education has to be improved(Currently their result is around 30-40%). we are aiming at increasing the result percentage to 80-90%.
Initiative:
The Students over here are mostly children's of daily wagers, so they prefer to go for work instead of school on the week ends(where we are planning to conduct the classes). To lessen their burden we are providing lunch & conducting the classes at weekends.
statistics:
No of Schools to be focused : 5
NO of Students in 10th std : 220
No of Students Till 8th : 85
Volunteers: 55 Active and interested volunteers from "GOLD HEART FOUNDATION" and SWARG in Chennai are to be used for this project.
Swarg's Contribution:
Food. - Swarg and GOLD HEART FOUNDATION will together support on this.
Active members Involvement as volunteers.
Project UNNATHI:
Background:
We realised most of our books were sleeping in our book shelves(remaining Unused). why can't be those books stay in a public place(still useful to some one).
Initiative:
A free lending library will be set up, with the books collected from our valuable social-thinkers, which will be given to those people who know the value of books & are really in need. In return we expect from them 3 hrs of time in a week taking classes to the schools which need quality education
Count Planned:
As we are focusing on Engineering students, aiming to support 100 students in the initial phase. Need to put in a lot of effort to collect books for those 100 and to implement this thought.
Initial Investment will be needed to an extent
Recurring expense will be needed(to maintain the books & renovate).
Help Needed from you:
Voluntary commitment to teach classes.
Support in sharing your Un used books.
Donations to set Up the BookBank
Details of Bank Account : SWARG, 055801000228, ICICI BANK, Mysore, Infosys Branch
Friends, Let us all join our hands to support this initiative and help our college going friends to succeed in their life. This will provide them the opportunity to be a part of Change in society through Swarg. Let us all use our dust-bitten Engineering books/ other imp books lying in our shelves for the needy students. We look forth for your valuable support towards these two projects. Interested Please contact us to get to know in depth details on the above two projects. “WE” Can make a big difference

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.
