Dear Sevasahayogi,

Beginning of the new year is the time when we take a look at what we have done in the previous year, and what do we need to do for the next year. At Seva Sahayog, we take this as an opportunity to visit the NGOs that we have been associated with, and gather inputs from them.

When we visit the NGOs, we do get first hand information about the challenging situations that they face. Realization of the challenges faced is moving one step closer to solving them. We also get feedback on some of our other initiatives like the school kit, or Seva fair.
Typically, the Seva Darshan is a half day affair, with a small group of 5-10 people going to a particular NGO in and around Pune over a weekend.

We are planning to visit the following NGO on saturday, 21st Jan.
Gurukulam – Chinchwad
Purarutthan Samarasta Gurukulam',
Near Gawade Swimming tank,
Krantiveer Chaphekar Vidyalaya Parisar,
Keshav, Chinchawad Gaon, Pune 411033.

This visit is a good opportunity for the volunteers to learn and get a good exposure of NGOs. The activities to be conducted there include games for Children, Toys making session and an English teaching session.

In case you are interested to join in, please call the Coordinators for this visit.

It is extremely heartening when a noble cause is appreciated and supported with enthusiasm. Well known philanthropists Shri. Ramprakash Ji and Smt. Gitadevi Podar have done just that.
On 15th November 2011, they have gifted Seva Sahayog Foundation a huge piece of land in Badlapur. The entire land will be utilized to build a home cum vocational training center for children living on railway platforms. This unique project will be managed and operated by Samatol Foundation, a leading NGO which has been working for social welfare for years.
Renowned personalities from Badlapur have expressed their joy and have offered absolute support for success of this project. But at this point financial support is equally important as the estimated cost for this project is a massive 3 crore rupees. The blueprint for the facility has been finalized, but the implementation can begin only when adequate funds have been arranged for.
Therefore we urge you to step forward and help us realize this dream which will put a smile on the faces of children who desire and deserve a good life.

Dear Friends,

Over the last 6 weekends, quite a few volunteers have been coming together to take the initiative of the school kit drive forward. Our attempt as always remained to provide new school kits to maximum school kids before the first day of the school. As many of you know, the schools re-open on 13th June.

We would like to send this urgent appeal to you and your friends to participate in the school kit assembly and distribution on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th of June, starting 10:00 AM at Balshikshan School, Mayur Colony, Kothrud, Pune.

After all the laborious work that we have put in the last 6 weekends, it is the time to see the smiles on the faces of kids as they receive the school kits. Ask any volunteer who has participated in the distribution over the last few years, and he would tell you that distribution of school kits is the most touching experience. Do come in with your family and friends.

We are in need of lot more volunteers than the previous weekends, so please consider this as a very special appeal to you to come over and participate.

Thanks,
Seva Sahayog Team.
