4th Day of RTI week of MKRT 181

Today the 17th of Nov 2011 we Knights funded a one months supply of Pedia sure a food supplement for 70 children taken care by CAN STOP a cancer support wing of Sundaram Foundation. It is our privilege for us to be able to provide the first and the last meal of the day for these children for a month. May God have them live their hope…

5th day of the RTI week of MKRT 181

This 18th of Nov, which is the 5th day of the RTI week, 200 plus inmates of Sri Matha Trust blessed the families of MKRT 181 by praying for us because we sponsored their breakfast. Sri Matha trust is a registered Charitable Institution and itsobjects are to help the poor and the sick in the society belonging to all caste, creed and religion. At the request of the Cancer Institute Chennai, right from Aug 2000 this trust runs Mohandevi Hirachand Nahar Rajasthani Dharamsala in the old Cancer Institute premises at Adyar Chennai that takes care of the needy cancer patients who cannot afford treatment.

6th Day of the RTI week of MKRT 181

Today the 19th of Nov we Kights contributed did 2 services of contributing bed sheets to the needy.

We contributed 26 bed sheets for other wise challenged children with Autism at KRUPA a home supported by Aim for Seva trust in Chennai. We handed over these bed sheets at the trusts admin office. Our visit to the office was definitely an eye opener about this organisation for the kind of vast support they are extending towards children’s education, betterment and up keep through out India almost like our organisation but here they not only build schools by seeking help they also educate and they also run student homes.
We knights contributed 18 bed sheets to a War widows welfare association named “NIMMADHI” an old age home that has 16 war widows mostly from World War 2 and two-ex service men. It is really sad to see and understand the lack of support they have from the society. We 181rs have visited this place for the first time and for sure left with an said promise them that we will further do our best and give what is needed by them ASAP to our capacities. It was so nice to see these old people having such a broad smile on there faces… Again thanks to this movement Round Table that we are able to reach such needy and be one small reason for the smile on their face

7th Day of the RTI week of MKRT 181

On 20th Nov we Knights did our 7th and final day of community services coinciding with the RTI week which this year for us was from the 14th to 20th of Nov. Today we supported a Govt. home for children called ‘Annai Sathiya illam’ near Central Railway station in Chennai supported by Smile foundation. This home mainly has girl children right from 1st standard to 12th standard and some college students too. We knights contributed today as a start Rs.5000 worth stationary mainly benefiting the girl children in the higher classes. We Knights did this contribution under the new initiative which we started today which is the ‘Save a Girl Child’ in association with Suyam Charitable trust headed by Mrs.Uma Muthuraman whom we are associated for the last 7 years. Today the children at this home were celebrating children’s day as 14th Nov was a Monday this yr and hence we also distributed biscuit packets to them. it was again a blessing to see so many broad smiles today on the faces of so many children

Smiles on the faces can make your day

On 16th Nov the 3rd day of the RTI week we knights sponsored a dinner for about 400 plus children mostly orphans at the Ramakrishna Ashram in Chennai. The best part of this was we being exposed to some mind sooting prayers before dinner and then having dinner. It was an eye opener reminding us about our strong Indian culture and traditions.

This school is mainly supporting the children from the fishermen community and that too most of them who suffered the effects of Tsunami. This school has classes from LKG to 5th standard and they are following the state syllabus. There are 305 children studying here. The school children performed some entertainment program for us and also spoke about a few Indian leaders of the past and present.

Madras Knights Round Table 181 RTI week Day 1

Friends,

Tablers of MKRT 181 had their activities for the first day of the designated RTI week

Heres a report by Chairman Tr Vinay on the same

Day 1 of the community service of RTI week of MKRT 181 of 2011-12
On 14th of Nov which is the Children's Day Madras Knights started the RTI week for 2011-12 by donating a lot of things to Siragu school run by Suyam charitable trust. 181r's have built 9 class rooms in the past for this school and have decided after 3 yrs of gap that we will build a few more class rooms starting this year. Since today 14th was a working day and because of some last minute planning we 181'rs could not make it to the school for the morning Children's day function which was already planned by the school. Instead we made sure that our presence was not missed by donating some goodies this day which will directly benefit the children of the school. Todays activity which was coordinated and donated by the table are -
1. Sponsored a scrumptious special lunch for over 200 children.
2. 800 plus square feet of roofing material to cover the common utility areas of the school.
3. Two 1000 plus PMPO watts music systems for schools recreation rooms and hostel room.
4. One Hi 8 Video camera & one digital photo camera
5. Books for Siragu's library - A full series of How & Why books, A whole series of children's Encyclopedia books, A whole series of quiz books, A whole series of fairy tale books and many more other novels for kids.
6. Clothes for children and teachers.
7. Also initiated a pick up vehicle going to all 181'rs houses from this day onwards for a few days collecting similar useful things….
Since we missed the morning session principal of the school Mrs.Geetha came along with 8 students i.e. one child representing each class from classes 1 to 8 came to one of our tablets house.Here we donated all the above things mentioned. They were extremely excited seeing the books and the electronics they were getting. Each of them told what they wanted to become in the future and it was an eye opener to some of our twinklers of our table who were sitting along with them. Over all I think the day ended well with broad smiles on these few children's shining faces…

October Fellowship at MKRT 181

Tablers and Circlers,

MKRT 181 a Fellowship table has had many fellowships this year already. This one was in october

Read more by a Report by Chairman Vinay

181's first fellowship of Oct 2011 kick started on the 13th Oct 2011 at Javed's Kebabs & Curries a new restaurant on Khadar Nawaj Khan Rd ,Chennai. This Restaurant is new and is going to open on the 22nd of Oct 2011.Yesterday we had an trial run of a few items of their menu exclusively for our table. It was an experience definitely because for many of us were for the first time given a sheet of paper with all the items being served for dinner asking questions against each dish being served with our opinion to be marked under - " Great , Average and Bad and Suggestions". Yeah 181'rs showed their critic side of them genuinely at least for the reason for the treat given :) ... There were total 10 tablers,9 ladies and 7 twinklers...
