Dear All,
Every year you buy crackers but this year MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the lives of the under privileged children when you buy crackers. Every cracker box you buy from START 148 - Secunderabad Twin Area Round Table 148 will make a huge difference in their lives.
The funds raised from the sale of these cracker boxes go for the construction of Schools in areas which sorely require primary education facilities.
Round Table India is a non political, non-sectarian service organization of responsible young men upto the age of 40. Round Table offers a practical means of self-development, fostering friendship, participating in community service and promoting international understanding and good will. Round Table India is an organization following the motto of “Service Through Fellowship" and dedicating its energies towards the betterment of the underprivileged masses and the Indian community at large. The Round Table encourages active and responsible approach to citizenship, offering means of self-development by putting public duty above personal consideration.
Round Table India is a structured organization and has an independent budget for administration. Every rupee that Round Table raises from the community goes back in form of projects. There is no money spent from such funds towards administrative costs. This is a unique aspect of Round Table India's contribution to the community development.
To find out more about Round Table India please visit us on http://www.roundtableindia.org/
Some of the highlights of Round Table are:
- 850 Schools built at a cost of 85 Crores
- Vision to educate 1 million children by 2015
- Presently building 1 class room per day
- Round Table has Partnered with Wipro, Pratam, MV Foundation , Bajaj Alliance, ITC etc.
Every year we raise funds for building schools under our Freedom Through Education (FTE) project. One of the fund raising activities undertaken by us, is through sale of Cracker boxes during the Diwali season. The funds raised through a similar fund raising activity last year was utilised in constructing a English medium school at Masab Tank, First Lancer, Hyderabad benefiting more than 800 students and the cost of the project was Rs. 60 lakhs. Secunderabad Twin Area Round Table (START 148) has already built 7 schools in the last 10 years since its charter.
Another feather in our cap is that the Amberpet School which the Table had built 3 years back has been chosen as the model school by the Govt of AP and will be a showcase school for all future Govt Schools.
We have been selling cracker boxes for the last 9 years in Vanenburg too. The entire proceeds from the sale of these boxes would be utilized for a similar cause. The price list has been enclosed and you would agree that it is value for money and the gesture also goes to support child education. A mention also needs to be made that no child labour has been used to make these crackers. And we can also state with pride that we have not received even a single complaint regarding the quality in the last 8 years and also infact we have been receiving repeat orders year after year.
While we would like to thank all those who supported us during our fund raising activity last year, we request you to continue extending your support for a good cause " Freedom through Education ".

Hi All,
Though I truly laud the spirit and intent behind this proposition, I maintain that crackers are a hazard that we should help do away with, not legitimize. Absence of child labour may have been ascertained, but what about the environmental impact and fire accidents? Invariably, we find reports post-Diwali as to how severely asthama patients suffered or how many times above the acceptable level the pollution soared. All that is over and above the long-term damage to our already fragile ecology. Before we attempt to do good, I humbly suggest that we adopt a "do no harm" policy by looking at issues holistically.
PS: Pardon me if this sounds intrusive on account of the fact that I have not been active in this group's activities owing to my being in Noida. Anyhow, I will be in Hyd shortly to join Microsoft, and hopefully can get involved in some way.
Thanks,
Pulkit [9278857591]
Martin Luther King got it spot on when he said "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance". Why else would scores of us merrily munch away dairy foods while cows - chained in stinky spaces away from their young - are forcibly, painfully impregnated all through their lives for milk, or consume chicken (and other meat) while chicken are de-beaked with a hot blade and slaughtered barbarically? Curbing dairy and meat also helps resource conservation and (astonishingly) human health, as articulated in CNN documentary "The Last Heart Attack", which also features why former US president Bill Clinton went vegan.
