Hello
Well in 4th experiment with reforms "Sanaath" in orphanage atbaroda some positive results have started coming.
1) Mehul- the 11th class commerce student at the orphanage is financedby my very close friend Trinadh who is currently working in Amdocs InCyprus and now he has started his Tuition's. He is aiming to shape hiscareer as C.A. Moreover as a matter of gratitude he has promised methat on saturdays from 2-4 P.M. he would be teaching English to thejunior kids over there ( we would assist him during these classes).
2) Ajay-The most promising face which i had observed in that orphanage-the boy who is highly creative and good at designing clothes -- wastill date unable to come forward. On Saturday he came along with meand we purchased a good book of fashion Designing which he thoughtwould help him in shaping his career. I cant define the happinesswhich was present on his face after getting that book. I firmlybelieve this coming Saturday he would be ready with his creation onPaper. Then we are planning to provide him Cloth and other thingsneeded to bring the design on real.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4th experiment-New Developments
Hello
Warm greetings and Very Happy New year!!!!!!!!!!
Well things are going on in a nice way as i had expected a phase of
slow movement in this Experiment"Sannaath" in the orphanage at baroda will come its now on the move.
Ajay about whom i mentioned in last mail is trying out best to come up
with a good designing.But i guess he is loosing confidence ..In last two
week meeting's we have encouraged him a lot and told him that we dont
expect a great design right now just we want to see how creative he is
. This time he came up with bit positive attitude and told us "Bhaiya
i want make a good design something really different from contemporary
but for that i need to understand what all designs are existing right
now and as of now i have no exposure other than what all i have seen
here in my tailoring classes".He asked us if we can arrange a good
book of this field for which we have told him that he just needs to
tell us the name of the book and we Will get it for him.
His response is very obvious as in our cases inspite of the fact that we belong to a
well-to-do family and always have continuous moral support from
parents, friends, teachers we at such crucial times tend to loose
faith on ourselves. So i am not worried and will try to follow him up
continuously until he himself accepts the final defeat which i feel
will not come.
Mehul, a student of 11th class , commerce , is very good at studies,
he is infact receiving free of cost tuition from one friend from MS
university "Deepak". But for other subjects he needs tution fees.We
have told him to just tell us the amount which he needs.I will inform
you about the same and will possibly need help in small amounts. He is
finally aiming to become a CA. Really very brilliant Boy.
Kamal about whoom i talked in last mail is also set with his career
objective. He is in 9th class right now and was deeply interested in
sports and singing. Hardik Ladva our friend of final year and
Bhavishya Sharma Second year at NIT-Surat will be guiding him for NDA,
after getting him there he can surely move on with his passion for
Sports "Cricket to be specific"--He is really a good player and may be
we have another Rajyavardhan singh rathore from him.
Yogesh--another student of 9th is superb in Singing and will be guided
by Hardik, we have set first target for him as a song in Our Cultural
Festival "Sparsh". If he really performs well on stage based upon the
feedback we will be associating him with expert.
Apart from this we are soon going to start up Interactive discussions
in English, which most of them are lagging. Luckily in last sunday's
visit we got to meet Mrs. Neeta , she is a teacher in a primary school
and she comes every weekend to distribute Snacks to kids ,and she is
ready to support us in this movement.
If everything goes on smoothly later phases will soon see Basic Computer Classes
for them.
What i personally feel is if financial support in the order of say Rs.
200-300 per month can be done by individuals on a regular monthly
basis this can make up a good fund to support the future coming needs
of the Experiment "Sanaath".
Well sometimes i feel like quitting everything but Holy Souls are
continously guiding and encouraging mails from you strenghtens up my
spirit.
Experiment is passing through the testing phase..... lets what comes
out of this ....Even if a single individual achieves to the best of his potential i would personally be very happy and contended...

My Fourth Experiment with Reforms-Sanaath-Second step
Hello
Continuing with the Mission ( described in my last mail) we visited the orphanage at Baroda this Saturday ( 9th dec).
So i thought to share with you the experiences and most importantly get valuable suggestions for some issues.
We reached there around 4 o clock in the evening and informed the Co-Ordiantor of Orphanage that we want to have a session with the kids there which will comprise of a movie. He agreed upon it and around 15 students joined us. Our basic intention was to mix up with these kids because then only they will open up and discuss freely.
Well we started with the informal talk through questions like who and is there best friend in the group present over there , what all positive qualities his friend has and so so on.. and then moved to the very important question "What they want to achieve in life in terms of career". Apart from regular education they are being offered vocational training of Tailoring, carpentry etc.. so maximum of them replied that they want to become a tailor or a Carpenter. of course that is none of there fault -that they didn't see big things ahead of them . This made us bit sad, if they had their parents they would have surely persuaded them for greater things say it engineering, medical.management etc.I don't mean that tailoring or Carpentry is a small job..but still
..Anyway this is what is our objective.to fill up the vacancy of their parents atleast for their career growth ..so the next few questions gave them a glimpse of what all is possible
We asked them did they know Sachin- in one single tone they all replied in affirmation then we asked about Amitabh bachhcan, Dr. Kalam..they all knew them.An there came the actual turning point. I asked them wont you like to become like these personalities who have made themselves world famous through their sheer dint of hard work and utilising their hidden talent . This question made maximum of them to sit quietly and think.
We told them that now we will show them a movie "Iqbal" and they after the movie they have to tell me how the character Iqbal in movie shapes his destiny...
You all will be surprised to know that meanwhile around 40 students joined us. And they all enjoyed the movie.
Aftermath effect- We feel movie left an everlasting impression on their heart. They all very jovially explained the message of movie and asked us
"Bhaiya humbhi kuch aisa karna chahate hain-par jaisa iqbal ne kiya par kaise karen"-- This question made us over joyous..we realised our approach was working.
In reply we told them to sit for half an hour tonight with a paper and a pen and write down their dream-What they want to become as per there own self belief of qualities which they have. Then we instructed them to write down their approach i mean how they think they can move towards their dream, what all things they will need, what all are the possible obstacles that might creep in....
All of them said in one voice "Bhaiya hum raat me khana khane ke badd jaroor karenge' We told them to discuss things with their Friends over there and be ready with what all they can and possibly on 16 DEC( Saturday) we will be there at same time ( 4 p..m) and will have a counselling session for each individual to refine out their plan and assured them that all possible help would be there from our end to make their dream true .
But the real task lies ahead of this for which we need your help
1) If you can spare time on 16th Dec and can join the counselling session to ensure proper formulation of plans it would be really a great help. Ofcourse we have our team here, but still... i feel ur experience will be a great support for us.
2) But still if personal presence is not possible- mail me your feelings what all we should keep in mind in the counselling session.. say how to judge their true potential through a set of questionnaire ...how to guide and refine out the plan made by them.
3)As mentioned in my earlier mail i want specific talents to be associated with the field expert to nurture their talent in that direction and make them achieve something really big . So for this i need
3 a) if u know any such experts in Baroda or nearby Baroda say it for music, painting, computer skills, sports etc please mail me their contact address and numbers -- as per the interest and talent of student we will try to associate the interested kids with them. see they all are in the ripe age of dvelopment and any support at this age is going to make wondreful results.
3 b) if not now but at later stages for fulfledged development of talent we need to invest a lot--so if u can guide me to arrange possible philanthropic sources say it charitable trusts, companies, individuals etc who can take up say one or two kids as full responsibility in terms of funding--
It will be really great to get if you with your two-three friends can join can take resposnsibilty of any of the kids for financial support. in for nuruturing their talent
4) any changes in our approach which you feel is needed for better results.
Well i am very hopeful with this Experiment and if the approach works well this would be extended to other orphanages too ..
So second step is over and now most Crucial-Third step is going to begin --i will waiting for the kind mails and suggestions to make the third step work

My Fourth Experiment With Reforms-Sanaath
Dear All
Well on 29th of November ( Wednesday) we all started our first mission of social service in Baroda.
So i thought to share with all of you the experience of the same
Its an orphanage near Rhino Circle, with a total strength of 94 children ranging from 4th class to 12th class students.This was first time in my life i ever visited an orphanage-the home of those few unlucky kids who have lost their most precious gift of mother nature-PARENTS. Well to my surprise the orphanage was well maintained with a hostel , mess-cum TV room , their classrooms, a carpentry shop and few other traditional learning job learning shops for them.
The Co-ordinator of the orphanage was very supportive , just one big problem we faced and that was of communication --We are not well conversant with Gujarati and Co-ordinator of the orphanage didn't understand Hindi well. But i feel gradually this can be resolved out.
Our AIM:-
With a firm belief on one basic philosophy that if Nature snatches some thing from us he surely gives some thing in place of that and in case of orphans the most precious gift Parents have been taken away so its for sure that they must be blessed with some thing very extra-ordinary . Now our aim to diagnose that Hidden talent and nurture them in that particular direction so as to get Next_Gen- Tansen, Leanardo da Vinci, Sachin, Kishore Kumar...etc the Talented Persons. ofcourse they will continue with their regular studies
Approach:
So in order to find out the talent its imperative that we must intermingle with these kids and gradually try to find out whats special in them. So for this through various small steps say through inspiring movies , small games, quizzes etc we have planned to move and our major step will be their counselling session in which we will prepare the complete Plan for their future growth in the area of the Talent.
After this complete planning phase possible comes the most important thing-the
IMPLEMENTATION -
What i have thought of is if we can associate these kids say some one is having good voice with an expert of singing and funds be diverted over his/ her development in this particular field we Will be soon able to ensure this talent being nurtured up and if every thing goes right we will get Jewels for Humanity with superb creativity in their domain.
Now tomorrow ( 9/12/06) ( Saturday) we are going there with three-four members , our plan for tomorrow is to start the interaction with them through a movie and after much deliberation we have finalised movie "Iqbaal" and then we will have informal chit-chat session with them.For removing out the barrier of language our team will comprise of Mr. Harit- first yearite (he is fluent in gujarati and also he is working with great devotion in Surat's orphanages)
Lets hope for the best.....
The Journey has begun....still long miles to go......
Do let me know about your feelings and i will be waiting for your valuable suggestions
