Good Day Friends!
After crossing many hurdles, I started an NGO along with my friends. For the last 7 years, I have been part of a children's NGO called Pudiyadhoor. This experience inspired me to start an NGO on my own. We have called in "Namma Ooru."
"Namma Ooru" is an NGO that works to improve the lives of underprivileged children in rural areas, their families and communities through an approach which puts children at the centre of community development. We want to develop a school with a pleasant village environment. Along with the subjects usually taught in all schools, we also want to cover Agriculture, Sports, Yoga, Martial arts, handicraft, theatre and Ancient Indian medical sciences (Siddha and Ayurveda) and so on.
However, to start a full fledged school, lots of government formalities have to be completed. The trust of the society on the institution has to be developed. As a first step towards this, we have started something called an 'After-School' for kids at two villages, Varatharajapuram
Still lots more need to be done, and for this we need all the help we can get. We expect your support in 3 ways:
1. Financial Support -
Even if the amount is small, we want financial support over a long period of time, to sustain the activities we are starting now. We prefer members who contribute monthly on a regular basis, over one time donors. This will make you feel one with the organisation. Please contact me for details on how to contribute.
2. Volunteer Support -
Anything you know, you can come and share with our kids. "Each One Teach One " is the heart of 'NAMMA OORU'. You can contact me for details on timings, subjects, etc. Right now, we urgently need teachers for music, martial arts, drawing and painting.
3. Ideas -
Your ideas are always welcome to develop this organisation. We need both suggestions on teaching activities and contacts of people who can help us.
Awaiting your support!
