Before moving to Hyderabad to join in ABN, I got a chance to spend some time with the school kids in the government school near to my home. Venkata Prashanth, one of my seniors in Engineering and also a close friend of mine is always interested in doing social service on behalf of his N.G.O Hope to needy, being a techie. I asked him to make me part of one of his social tasks like giving food to children, inspiring them by some motivational classes etc.
He remembered me and my word and gave a chance to be a part of his work. We have chosen a government school in Kadapa and have decided to provide lunch and exam accessories like pens and some sweets for the children. Prashanth bro have ordered some healthy food to supply for children as they will be served with poor lunch daily in government schools, which doesn't contain any nutrition elements in it.
We have decided to do this on March 28th. Prashanth bro took the responsibility of distributing food and sweets to the school children. I took a laptop and started to give the power point presentation for the children on the great personalities like, Abdul Kalam, Sir C.V Raman, Sachin Tendulkar etc,. The children were so eager to learn the new things. Initially it was tough for us to manage them, but they have shown a lot of interest towards our presentation. They replied to our questions well, asked their doubts and got clarified.
There were around 200 children in the school. Their education facilities were too good as they have got very good teachers to teach and also school children were good in their studies. All they lack is basic needs in the school environment. That's the only difference between the corporate schools and government schools. It is not a tough job for the government to provide the basic need, of course it is doing, but there is no proper care for that.
Anyhow, it was a good day to remember. Thanks Prashant anna :)
