Food, clothing and shelter are the basic needs of human. But now “Education” seems to dominate the list! This also includes good infrastructural facility. It’s true that early day education in India was under a tree, the so called Guru-Shishya tradition. It slowly became classrooms and with the advent of modernity these turned into virtual ones. Although so much has improved, education for the weaker sections of Indian society has yet to come up.
Project Green Book is an initiative by the Wild Wing Society (WWS) to improve the tribal education system. With the support of many volunteers, the project has entered the sixth week now. Till date, every weekend volunteers would go and teach them. But this weekend saw an infrastructural uplift.
Utilizing the vacation time of the school, WWS’s Week 6 activity of Project Green Book was a colourful one. The Topslip tribal school and hostel were given a fresh look by re painting them which was painted 5 years back.
It was co-ordinated and lead by five WWS members along with the help of 45 voulnteers of Vivekananda Pasumai Gramam ,Selappanpalayam.
A special thanks to these volunteers for helping in cleaning the school premises before the painting work began.
They had reached topslip on 15th May,2011 and stayed there for the night. The next day morning was spent in cleaning. The Forest Range Officer, Topslip, gave a small talk on Anamalai Tiger Reserve. Volunteers were taken on a jungle safari by the forest department.
Our members have analyzed the place to set up the children’s park and the works to be done.
WWS aims at starting the new academic year in a bright mode by making a better environment to study.
