Kaveri
English School |
|
| |
| A
focal point of three villages viz. Muthoor, Kulavoor and
Kilenjar known as Kuppepadavu in Mangalore Taluk of Dakshina
Kannada district in Karnataka state, had no English medium
school till May 31st 2001. Geographically Kuppepadavu
is about 30 Kms. from deputy commissioner’s office
at Mangalore –Hospet highway. |
|
|
Local villagers could not afford to send their children
to an English School which is around 11 Kms. away from
Kuppepadavu. Hence, the need of an English Medium school
was felt by the residents of these three villages, the
villagers knew the importance of education in today’s
times but were helpless. This is when Project Crayons
surveyed the three villages as a part of our rural development
programme. We found that children were going without education
for no fault of theirs. Project Crayons realized this
urgent need and went ahead with the construction of Kaveri
English School, from the current academic year 200 children
from these villages are getting free education, books,
uniforms and mid-day meals. |

Dakshina
Kannada School |

|
|
| |
 |
We
have also adopted a Kannada medium school called Dakshin
Kannada a primary school at Acharayajora. Now these children
are getting free education and the number of children
coming is increasing. |
|
| |
We
have planned to have English as a compulsory language
in this school from the next academic year. |

Computers |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Our
next development in these institutions will be imparting
computer education as information technology plays a big
role in today’s times. We have started with the
construction of a computer room at Kaveri English school. |

Ghar |

|
|
| |
GHAR
houses few girls who had come to Bombay with big dreams
and landed in difficult situations. Ghar acts as a facility
for the skill-training centre and teaches different things
like greeting cards, paper bags, files folders and various
gifts items etc. These gift articles and greeting cards
are then sold to |
 |
|
| |
corporates
and at exhibitions. The income generated is utilized for
the welfare of GHAR. It also has various facilities like
bathing, savings, counseling facilities. Thus, GHAR is
restoring the human dignity and building up the self esteem
of these destitutes. Though the set-up is small now we
are looking for a bigger place and give more opportunity
for the less fortunate. |
