Plans for May 2009

May, 2009 is around the corner. For most of us, this means that we won't be in the city for this month. Nonetheless, we have a number of plans for Sangam India that continue throughout May.

• Educational Programme - We have plans to continue the educational programme that started last March in operation throughout May. It will be run by the members who are still in Chennai. However, we are short-staffed and we could use all the help we could get. Please send us an email at info@sangamindia.org if you can volunteer your time, on a weekend, for just a few hours. During this month we will hold the same programme but it may be simplified due to the reduced staff on hand. Nonetheless we are committed to maintaining our relationship with the community and to making sure the children will still have our company. Stay tuned on this blog with more exact details of upcoming visits.
  
• Research - During May, a lot of our members will be doing extensive research on various things in order to advance our work. This will range from talking to other NGOs in people's hometowns, researching educational opportunities, vocational training programmes, and legal research to advance Sangam India to NGO status.
• Skits - A number of volunteers from Dallas, Texas, have written a series of wonderful skits demonstrating various human values. We hope to teach these to the children of Ramavaram when we get back and we need help with translating them from English to colloquial Tamil. If you can help with this, please let us know.
