Hi,
I am back to India and catching up my routine work. I had very limited
access to internet and hence not able to reply. My points are well
covered by both Sathi and Vatchan. I agree with them and my request to
Anbu is to play a lead role in this.
To begin with all of us can initially contribute a amount and then we
can have some sort of regular contribution arrangement. At present, we
will try to avoid to raise funds by donation from others. This may
dilute our interests and we may not able to focus on our objectives.
What should be our next step? Can we have some sort of meeting to
proceed further? How about in Pondy with chill Beer......
Regards
Purushoth

financial support for this person, but then we might end up only
impacting a handful of people or a small group, if we get into these
kind of activities. Rather i would prefer if our activities has a
positive impact on a group of people.

centered around the St. Anns School students, so that we can really
make a good first impression / positive impact on that group. Otherwise
i feel that we might get lost with too many things in our hand before
we can actually establish. Here i know i am differing from what
Purushoth had mentioned regarding diversifying into various fields but
i feel we might really lose focus if we diversify into too many things
before we really establish this. I might be wrong.

>3. There could be two sets of people coming out of the school. One
would be a majority group, who would be going to the colleges for some
sort of Bachelors or Diploma courses. The other group would be students
who could be from the lesser background who might want to start earning
for their family by doing some sort of work. I think we need to keep
these two broad classifications in mind and devise our plans
accordingly as the first group might not want to say attend a job
oriented software course and vice versa. While offering financial
assistance to the 2nd group of people would really help how many people
can we really help. My choice would also be Educational Assistance,
especially informal education like "Spoken English" for the 1st group
and for the 2nd group it would be some job oriented courses like Anbu
had suggested.

like (especially Nagarajan, Baskaran, Jonas) on what they think as they
see and understand the problems of the students on a daily basis. While
these would just be a process where we gather inputs and then we can
always debate the advantages and disadvantages and take our own
decision.

>2. Name of the Trust: Next Generation Welfare Trust is something that
looks fine. I feel we should try and avoid specific references to
school names or town names as these could prove to be a limitation
tomorrow. Anyhow if everyone agrees that our vision is clearly focusing
on Tindivanam, then we can certainly have it as part of the name. Let
us gather thoughts and decide on this
>3. Probably we should talk to a couple of Trusts to get an idea of how
things work and what are the options available not only from the
funding part of it but also from the operation part of it. Ideally we
shoud talk to the owners of a trust and auditors of trusts so that we
can get some idea. If you think this effort is not worthwhile then we
can decide on the options
>4. I have touched upon this point in my views above
>5. Sure let us keep the treatment for Leela ram as the top priority
and as Anbu said, if Arvind can take a lead on this we can support in
whatever way possible

He avoids talking or meeting any of us. Myself, Mani, Bun, Francis all
tried. One of us have to establish some connection with him and take
him to a psycatrist for an preliminary examination. We met his Father,
he was also expressing his concern.

When I was discussing this with Arvind, he was expressing interest to
take him for treatment. I will talk to him and if he is willing we will

Nice to see your email. My priority is also to help first our Leela
Ram. I will be happy to sponsor and we will create a fund to help him
in whatever possible manner we can. In the meantime, can we all know
what is the present condition of him and what sort of treatment and
medical assistance he requires. This will help us to plan for the funds
accordingly.

I will get back to you with my answers for your questions.

It is a Nice Feeling to work or planing to work on Social Causes. It is
great to see every one offering un-conditional support to these
intiatives. We need intiate actions on these.

We need to Register a Charitable Trust to start with, before getting to

Who all should be the members of this Trust? All 35 who were in the
get-together ?? If so is practically possible to manage having a trust
of so many members to start with? I need every ones inputs on these,
based in which we can decide. Note: My suggestion is to start with 5-
10members who can actively contribute their time & energy, which should
help in managing things better.
What should be name of this trust ? Please do write your suggestions.
My Suggestion is: "Tindivanam Next Generation Welfare Trust" or simple
"Next Generation Welfare Trust"
What is the model for Funding ? Is that going to be initial
contributions from all, is it going to be regular contributions from
all, is it going to through donations, is it going to combinations of
these ? Any other models ??
What are the objectives & priorities ? My choice would be Educational
Assistance, especially informal education like "Spoken English", "Job
Oriented Software Course", "Mobile Phone Servicing" etc., most of these
courses are short term, and if done sincerely can create good
opportunity for decent jobs. I welcome every ones thoughts on these.
Our classmate Leela Ram is Mentally Ill, he is in to some kind of deep
depression, we all may sponsor and arrange for good treatment for him.
We can even have this as our priority.As an action towards forming the
trust I have attached the draft for the trust deed, further actions
after all your inputs
