Adding more schools to Smile's kitty

It is very heartening to see that Smile is translating its vision and mission into action. As part of its first major project of adopting government schools and there by imparting education to the underprivileged, Smile has join hands with Kasturba Gandhi College for Women (KGC), Marredpally.

Dr. Vidya, Advisor to Smile is developing the course curriculum and helping Smile Volunteers to plan their day's / week's interaction with school students. She is also mentoring lecturers to guide their respective volunteers.

Smile is working with two groups in the college - 1) regular students of KGC and 2) NSS Students of KGC. Smile has adopted three schools and allotted the schools to the student volunteers. All the students have formed into groups of 4-5 students each, who will be visiting schools every day but as per their schedule. For example: One group will go on Monday and the other on Tuesday. Groups may change but one or the other groups will interact with students every day

I am fortunate to have Dr. Aruna Reddy and Dr. Anita Reddy as part of Smile Team. Dr. Aruna Reddy, Reader of KGC is guiding regular students of KGC along with 5 other lecturers and Dr. Anita Reddy, NSS Coordinator is guing all the NSS Students.

Smile is leaving no stone unturned in identifying and adopting under privileged / under funded / government schools. Smile is adding more schools to its kitty.

My request to the readers: Either you or your organization or your college or your friends are most welcome to join hands with Smile and help the needy children
