"Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Albert Szent-Gyorgyi </div>
<br />
Another project of Little Drops has brought smile in the faces of School children. This time, it is a water purification plant for Aruljothi Vallalar Hr. Sec. School, Dindigul. The school neither had a proper water supply, nor a drink-able bore-well water. This made the school suffer for a really longer time as buying water everyday was not practical either. Not just few children, they were about 800 and teachers, looking for someone to help them.<br />
<br />
Fortunate AIMS & Littledrop-ians, we were given an opportunity to give them hands. Two water purification plants were installed last month in the school at the cost of Rs.61000. <br />

This was gratefuly appreciated with a thanks note from the Head Master, Directors and Correspondent of the school saying,<br />

and this Thirukkural means "Timely help is greater than earth, though it is small". But for us, more than anything, the happiness this project has brought them is incredible.<br />

Although few developmental activities like constructing classrooms, water tanks were done by the kind and motivated villagers, the school was unable to raise some fund for buying furniture, which turned to be a primary need. Considering the need of the school, one of our AIMS members Mr.Lax Chepuri perceived it as a project, worth giving a try . All the formalities are taken up , shaped up to a fine proposal, submitted to AIMS and Hurray !!<o:p></o:p></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Ten volunteers brings 10 more each and hence the number grows. More the Vounteers, more the contacts and more possible donors.<br />
<br />
The Volunteer count was initially 27 and raised to 42 by the launch of our website and today it is 70. And the important donor count that was expected is hitting Silver Jubilee. Thanks to all the Volunteers who took the responsibility to bring in more Volunteers and donors.<br />
<br />
We have also added in few other facilities recently. Its time to share the world about our presence and perseverance !<br />

Yes it is well begun. The day April 14th dawned with the hope of launching the website <a href="http://www.littledropsindia.org/">www.littledropsindia.org</a>. The story was quite interesting though. A team of 7-8 people were working for the almost three weeks to proudly own a page ourselves. Everyone of the team realised that we are in a serious action than just dreaming. This website launch is also an onsite-offshore project, where partial development happened in India and testing happened in USA and UK. Conference calls, email threads, direct discussions about the development of the Logo, Layout, Caption, domain name, content, Menu, Picture and what else? When it comes to either contribution or the Ideas, its worth a stamp, "Little Drops are the best". The only tough time was choosing a better idea among the best. <br />
<br />
The first week rolled out to be discussion-ful whereas the second was full of negotiations and Yes, No's and approvals from AIMS. The third week was a silent fire added with a boost of one another's pushing. When all the actions were planned, there was a little delay in execution of it. But the hope of the team broke all the hurdles and the website was launched as planned; The first milestone in the flow of little Drops is reached. However we name it , Like the Kindergarten stories, the day ended "Ever happily" a wonderful start for everyone. The night was bright too !!Little Drops Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12057718477308495566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546131512632900911.post-39589280492905840382011-04-11T16:41:00.000-07:002013-02-11T16:35:03.065-08:00Dollar and Scholar - How?<b>AIMS India</b> organization, is a group with 200+ members raising funds in US for serving several needy projects in India. They have done nearly hundred projects like construction of rural hospital, school toilets, computer center for schools, training for govt school teachers, donating cattles, small grocery shops, and many more. AIMS runs by the fund collected by the involved members from across USA (mostly). The requirement of a specific project in their native can be given by any member and AIMS checks the genuineness of the proposal and approves funds. The project then gets executed by the person who came with the proposal. The transparency of AIMS is such that the accounting of all the projects are done publicly that they take care every single dollar goes to the people in real need.<br />
<br />
Here comes <b>Little drops</b>, a part of AIMS India, which hopes things are possible with a model "A dollar a month" . As the model literally means, members can donate a dollar a month summing up 12$ for a year, which finally serves for people who are looking for help. Little Drops targets for 10,000 members donating for AIMS, which could be calculated 1$ x 12 months x 45 Rs x 10000 people = 54 Lakh Indian Rupees per year. This is what is visualized as 'Siruthuli Peruvellam' (small drops collects to flow into a bigger river/ocean). The collected money will be non-profitably utilized by AIMS for the projects in India.Little Drops Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12057718477308495566noreply@blogger.com1
