1.
Donate time |
There
is a need for people who can take time to
brainstorm ideas, provide input into the process.
We need some one to take charge of each of
the problem areas and research those within
the context of Nalgonda District. We also
need them to work with a small group to come
up with practical solutions and develop a
business plan to improve conditions in various
areas. |
Example
1: On a single visit to your native place
in Nalgonda, you could visit the Mandal HQ
and develop a comprehensive list of needs
at the village or mandal level which is helpful
with respect to drinking water. Determine
resources needed to achieve a level of sustenance
in drinking water and work toward providing
help. |
Example
2: Visit any of our work areas each might
be at a different stage of development and
provide feedback on how the things are materializing
at the grassroots level. This feedback will
be most helpful for the current as well as
future projects. Documentation using vedio
or photos is most helpful. |

2.
Networking with others |
There
is an insatiable need for energetic people
to bring in more of your kind into the stream.
People together make a difference. We provide
an opportunity using one of groups to find
like minded people and exchange ideas with
respect to providing employment, education
and health for the people of Nalgonda. There
is a target for us to get as big as having
an active 2000 participants at our website
in the near future. Can you imagine 2000 people
of Nalgonda origin trying to find ways to
improve the district from all corners? We
all will be better off with more ideas and
thoughts. Make it a goal to introduce atleast
five of your friends or others from Nalgonda
to the website. That is a big contribution. |

Adopt a Project in your Native Area |
From
time to time we research villages, mandals
and regions for needs, development proposals
within the Nalgonda District. We do add these
needs to the project list here. If you find
a pet project in the area you are interested
in, you are free to find resources to fund
it (either you alone or by raising those from
others), or find like minded people here at
this site to fund the project and monitor
progress on your own or with help from us.
We are here only to offer guidance and assistance
on a voluntary basis. What we think finally
counts is the result. Let us do what ever
it takes. |

4.
Adopt a Village |
Can
you imagine a thousand of us adopting one
village or sharing a village to develop and
setting goals for that village and monitoring
it the whole time? We will not only provide
employment by hiring a local graduate from
Nalgonda but also improve the situation over
a period of time. We have several engineering
colleges and degree colleges that produce
perennial supply of human resources. The idea
is for you to take the village under your
wings and give it a shape you want - it costs
money, human resources, knowledge base and
political linkages. We are here to pave the
way for those who do not have enough time
to do all of these - and if there is anything
and any way we can be of help - we will consider
this website a success. |

5.
Adopt a School |
Our
public schools lack a number of things - one
can blame it on the apathy of Government or
lack of accountability or lack of resources;
but the truth is we do not even have a clean
black board in our schools to write on. We
hope to set a goal for every class room to
have minimum needs met, and every student
to have the basics such as being able to afford
a pair of slippers to walk to school - We
do not have to tell you about a number of
our rural school going children walking to
school in a 45 Celsius degree temperature
through the dust - and we expect them to be
the torchbearers for future? How unreasonable
that is!!! One school at a time and especially
the way it should count. |

6.
Adopt a Child |
Child
labor is the ugliest practice of all time.
It is common practice and everyone familiar
with Nalgonda knows exactly how many of our
children there are subjected to bonded labor
in homes, farms, industries and trades. Agricultural
labor find it easy to raise money for food,
marriages, pay of money lenders and other
health needs by bartering a child's labor
- it is common to see a child of 7 or 8 being
bartered this way. We would like to seek out
these children in urban homes, industries,
trades and see what we can do. Adopting a
child cost less than 10 dollars a month. While
we do not lessen the value of 10 dollars,
we know it is simply value less for that one
child. The one who saves one child's life,
saves the world. |
