- | ==='''SPARK'S FIRST BATCH GRADUATED!'''===
| + | Wiki successfully set up. |
- | With the end-sems coming to a close, and the hostel work to be completed by the time
| + | |
- | the students return after their vacations, the activity on Spark has officially come
| + | |
- | to a close. Courtesy the generous contributions by people from CMI, we were able to
| + | |
- | buy quite a lot of stationery for the kids. We delivered it to them last Tuesday (I
| + | |
- | think!) and Vipul, Nivedita and I went over there this Monday to see if they have put it
| + | |
- | to good use. In fact, Satish was so excited he had stolen a few books from the other
| + | |
- | two and had worked on it! He had also done some basic arithmetic questions, figuring
| + | |
- | things out on his own. Trust me, minus english, doing that was no mean task. We spent
| + | |
- | another hour there talking to them and so on and told them it would be our final
| + | |
- | meeting with them. As good teachers, we advised them to be good and study hard.
| + | |
- | Satish amused himself by calling me on my cell form Vipul's cell a few feet away. He
| + | |
- | even noted down my number. It was quite touching. Though the other two kids were
| + | |
- | perhaps too young to appreciate that this would perhaps be our final meet, Satish
| + | |
- | seemed to get it and he was evidently pained at it.
| + | |
- | Post this, one of the men working there came upto me and asked me if I can get him
| + | |
- | similar books for his daughter. He knows to read Telugu and can read the English
| + | |
- | alphabet. He wanted to pick up some more English himself and teach it to his daughter as well. So,
| + | |
- | I am going to deliver it to him.
| + | |
- | Finally, I think we need to give the whole team a pat on the back, for I think we have
| + | |
- | accomplished quite a bit. My thanks to everyone involved and hope a new edition of
| + | |
- | Spark starts next year.
| + | |
- | Lastly, for the people who only know of our students as "the kids", I have uploaded a few photos!
