Upcoming Plans for 2008

Today we had a small meeting to discuss our upcoming plans for the rest of the year. Many of our members have University exams coming up this December, so as a result, we won't be as active until January.

Our basic plan includes holding a last medical camp, this month. Tentatively scheduled for October 19th, we plan on addressing men's health as well as general medical complaints for all other groups as well.

Diwali, the Indian celebration of lights, is coming on October 27th. This is traditionally celebrated by the giving of clothes to family and friends. Over the last 3 months, we have collected a large volume of clothing. We are going to be dividing this up to give something to each of the residents of Ramavaram.

In addition to this, we are going to send group to Ramavaram to spend some time with the children. This will promote the friendships that we have made with them. We have plans to make 'lesson plans' of sorts to teach the children valuable lessons in hygiene and sanitation as well, which we will work into these trips.

Because of the upcoming exams, we are short on volunteers for these events. If you are in Chennai and if you would like to participate in any of these events, please let us know! We need all the help we can get. Please contact us by telephone +91 9789901650 or by email at info@sangamindia.org if you are interested.
