Merry Christmas from the children
India Literacy Project supports a community library for children in Yeshwantpur, Bangalore, India. Our Bangalore chapter volunteers conducted a drawing and painting session based on the theme of the upcoming Christmas festival on Dec 13th 2009 at the Sunnadagoodu library.
A volunteer’s perspective on Partners Meet
How easy it is to label things and get carried away by the implications of that label. A ‘Partners Meet’ must clearly be for our NGO ‘Partners’. The themes and discussions must be beneficial to their work and from a development perspective. It would probably help them to work more effectively for the marginalized sections of the society. Ergo, if you are not a partner or working in this field, this might probably be of little relevance. I think this attitude probably sums up why problems never get solved in our country. .. Because we never think of ourselves as part of the solution.
