[edit] About the programme
[edit] Sundry details
In a discussion with Balaji Sampath, Padma learnt about an orientation programme offered by AID-India at Children's Park, Guindy. The details are as follows:
Date: February 3-4, 2007 Time: Not yet known Schedule: Not yet known Venue: Children's Park, Guindy (near the Snake Park)
[edit] Advantages of going to the programme
If some Spark members go for the programme, they can do the following:
- Get an idea of the kind of work AID-India is involved with
- Talk to the people from AID-India and develop a good relation with them and perhaps fix for some help from them (financial, technical, moral)
- Get inputs on how Spark could conduct its activities
Thus, it is good if at least 2-3 Spark members, including those who have actually taught the kids, go to Children's Park.
[edit] Further details
Padma said she had already mailed Balaji Sampath asking for the details of the programme, and that if he did not respond by Friday, then she would call him up to find the details.
