FA4Change donated 600 CD’s to Mr.Jagadeesh at Padmanabham Village, Visakhapatnam District on 23rd August, 2014

Dear Friends,

Vidyabhyasam:

‘Friends Association for a Change’ donated 600 CD’s to Mr.Jagadeesh at Padmanabham Village, Visakhapatnam District on 23rd August, 2014.


The 600 Sony CD's are donated by us to Mr.Jagadeesh to utilize them in the preparation of study materials in audio format towards the education of the visually challenged students.

About Mr.Jagadeesh:
------------------------------
Mr.Jagadeesh is visually challenged person by birth. But he struggled hard in completing his education and finally settled as a teacher in a government school at Mandal Parishad Primary School, Sunkarapeta, Visakhapatnam District.

As he had undergone many hard situations in life during his education, he decided to help the visually challenged students towards their education. So, he registered a society with the name: AASARA SWACHANDA SEVA SANGHAM in the year 2008 (Society Registration Number: 11/2008).

Mr.Jagadeesh is currently serving the visually challenged students across the state by providing braille books (from 1st standard to 10th standard) and study materials in audio format (for intermediate and above education) at free of cost. He is even preparing various kinds of braille books (Vivekananda Literature etc) which are useful to the visually challenged people.

The Mandal Education Officer at Padmanabham village appreciated his efforts and provided a room in the government office premises, to utilize it for the sake of the organization which he started. Mr.Jagadeesh is running the organization on his entire own with his entire monthly salary. As he is staying out of city and as it is a village, it has become quite difficult for him in funding the organization which he started.

His friends, relatives and a few private companies helped him in arranging 3 computers and 2 braille printers (cost in Lakhs). But the need for braille papers and CD's is a regular process to purchase, for the preparation of books and study materials in audio format.

Mr.Vinod from our organization personally met Mr.Jagadeesh a few months back by approaching him at Padmanabham Village, Visakhapatnam District. We would like to thank Mr.Suresh who informed us about Mr.Jagadeesh and Mr.Ravi (Head Master of Mandal Parishad Primary School,Bheemunipatnam Mandal, Visakhapatnam District) for helping us in meeting Mr.Jagadeesh.

For any more queries and for your contributions to Mr.Jagadeesh, you can directly contact him on his mobile: +91-9949926496.
