Construction Updates- Making of SaiKrushna Mandir

With the Divine Blessings and grace of our Beloved Swami, the Phase 1 of the children’s home – Sai Krushna Mandir – will be operational soon. While there are numerous challenges, the SKM construction team is working to ensure that the construction and funding are all moving along expected lines.

There have been a few delays (which is to be expected in a construction assignment) in the final finishing work and the SKM team is monitoring the situation so that there is no compromise on quality. It is expected that Sai Krushna Mandir will be functional as a children’s home from May/ June 2013. That way, the children who will be coming will also be able to join during the change of academic session.

We also invite applications for suitable volunteer families who will be willing to live with and take care of the children.  The ideal volunteer would be one dedicated to Swami’s work. We are open to families coming and joining who feel the inclination to participate and involve in Swami’s project. Volunteer families would be provided suitable accommodation and their children would be given appropriate educational facilities also.

Currently, there is a requirement for 2 English medium teachers for the proposed English medium education for the children. Candidates with appropriate background and experience may apply. We are also looking out for a cook for the children’s home once it starts functioning from June.

By Swami’s grace the flooring work for the building for Phase 1 of Sai Krushna Mandir which was started in the last week of February is almost complete. The next few weeks will involve the wall painting, fixing of bathroom equipment, and installation of solar fans/ lights for all the floors to have it ready in time for operations in June. Solar hot water facility is also being considered subject to availability of funds. The members of the SKM construction team are also making frequent site visits to monitor the quality and quantum of progress. A boundary wall for the entire campus also requires to be constructed and interested people may contact the SKM team.

The current state of construction is shown in the attached photos.
