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…
