Development of Play Area/ Vegetable garden: The front portion of Sai Krushna Mandir has been witnessing intense
activity in the last few days. A vegetable garden and some fruit trees are
being planned to cater to the requirement of the inmates. The ground has been levelled, the pits dug
for tree plantation and fertile soil obtained for the vegetable garden.
A
small play area is also being constructed, which will include a slide, see-saw,
swing and other play items for children. The play area is likely to be ready
before the children come back for the new academic session in May.
English medium school development: The Sai Krushna Charitable Trust
has constituted a school committee to further its educational plans. The
committee has been working on the development of a blueprint for
implementation. The school committee report will be tabled in the trust meeting
shortly for final acceptance. The Trust is keen on imparting values based
education to the children to provide them with the right environment to develop
their innate talents and skills. The education will be more focussed on skill
development and inculcating an urge to serve society than mere fact based
learning. Our idea is to provide each child the best possibility for a
meaningful life in which the child appreciates the beauty of the society in
which it lives and the importance of making one’s life useful for the growth of
society as a whole. Each child has a unique potential for growth, but
excellence as a human being is within the reach of all- whether one is a CEO or
a plumber, an advocate or a carpenter. For no profession is inferior. And this
will be the guiding motto in the development of the English medium education in
the school.
Identification of New Entrants: Sai Krushna Mandir Children’s home is absorbing additional boys in the
children’s home from May 2014. Applications are invited from the following
categories:
- Children without parents
- Single parent children
- Children from poor financial backgrounds
Boys
in the age group of 5-8 will be given preference so that they may also study at
the English medium school. The final
list of new entrants will be decided in April-May on a merit cum need basis.
Applications
are also invited for the post of warden. The SKM team is now actively engaged
in finding a suitable warden on paid basis. The major duties of the warden will
involve supervising the children, helping them with their homework and
co-curricular activities. Knowledge of computers, record maintenance and
driving skills will be bonuses on this job.
We
were very happy to have a few visitors to Sai Krushna Mandir. Swati aunty and
Jitesh Uncle from the UK made delicious biscuits for the children, while Aswath
Narayan from Puttaparthi enthralled the inmates with his mellifluous music. The
children were also taken for a small picnic to the nearby Pyramid Valley on 2nd
February, 2014.
We also wish all the children the very best for
their examinations in the last week of March. Our prayers and best
