FA team meeting held at Visakhapatnam on 14th August, 2012

Dear Friends,

The following are the important points discussed in the meeting today:

1)      Regarding Child Foundation of India:
a)      Sponsoring of the Faculty: We kept this decision in hold.
Reason: We are not sure on the funds being received by Child Foundation of India (which is being ran from the past 22 years) in the way of food and charity activities by public. Instead they are waiting for the outsiders to sponsor the faculty. So, we are planning to take the decision after speaking to the girl who is willing to work as a faculty on regular basis.

b)      As the Foundation is having Television: Our team is willing to carry a DVD player (team members personal DVD Player) with certain Video DVD’s or CD’s(education related) in the weekends in their free time and play the videos which are interesting to the students in the foundation.

c)       Projector Purchase: Team will enquire the cost of the projectors which are feasible to our activities.

d)      Classes to the students by our FA team on extra cultural activities: Venkatesh Rachakonda came forward to enquire the people(skilled in particular cultural activity) known to him on implementing the extra cultural activities to the students of Child Foundation of India in the weekends. And we request our team to come forward if interested and let us know your names.
 2)      Regarding implementing the plantation program:
a)      We have gathered the areas where maximum number of our team members stay in Vizag. But the areas where maximum number of team stay are not feasible to implement the plantation program. So we decided to enquire in the schools and hospitals where we have an option to implement the plantation program.
b)      We will gather the details of interested members of our entire FA team on their interest to grow plants in their houses. We planned to provide them with each plant on the day of our FA get together.
 3)      Implementing the Message Alerts:
We planned to gather the details of the interested members of our entire FA team on the message alerts related to FA activities and even regarding the blood requirement alerts.
Once we gather the interested members details, we will start the activity of message alerts to your mobile phones.

 4)      Contact Persons on behalf of FA regarding Blood Requirements:
