Asha Chennai got involved with the Sri Krishna Middle School in Thappalampaliyur and George High School in Vishnupuram when we assisted them to rebuild their buildings following the Kumbakonam fire tragedy. <a href="http://www.ashanet.org/projects/project-view.php?p=554" target="_blank">Click here </a> to see the project. Since then Kamakoti and Seetharaman who are closely involved with the running of these schools have started actively volunteering for Asha Chennai. Volunteers of Asha Chennai have been involved with the improvements to the quality of education at these schools in various capacities.
Prof. Kamakoti obtained computers for these two schools from Sun Microsystems through IIT Madras as part of the NITEL (???) project. Under this project each school received two server machines, three client machines and the required software to go with this. They required qualified teachers to be able to effectively use the resources. Asha Chennai is providing for these teachers.
Both Sri Krishna middle school and George High School have been going through several improvements recently. One of the main items that needed to be improved at Sri Krishna middle school was the toilet facilities. The old toilets had long fell into disuse. The teachers were going to the houses of nearby villagers. Rs 2.5 Lakhs was required for the construction of proper toilet facilities. Rotary Club of Kilpauk Chennai was willing to matching grants from Rotary international if Sri Krishna middle school could raise half the required money. They requested Asha for this half amount. Asha Chennai has sanctioned Rs 60000 from its buffer funds and is hoping to raise the remaining amount.
