Greetings & A Very Warm Welcome from each one of us at Bombay Round Table 2!

We are pleased to share with you that we had taken up two very profound projects for 2011.

To begin with we have joined hands with the National Association for the Blind, to aid them in their Integrated Education Project, which aims to provide quality education to the Visually Impaired in normal everyday schools. The cost per annum per student is Rs. 5,000/- and provides facilities such as text books, braille reading aids and material, uniform, footwear, private tuitions, medicines, play items, services of a special teacher and so on. We hope to sponsor a minimum of 100 students for the coming year.

Next, we will be expanding the ‘Tamarind Tree’ School in Sogve village near Dahanu. The school has 75 students studying in pre-primary at present. The trustees of the school propose to gradually impart education upto the 10th standard in the next few years. This is the only English medium school in the area. The teachers of the school have been given training by professionals in the education field. A lot of importance is being given to extra-curricular activities

We propose to build two classrooms, a common hall and two toilet blocks at an approximate cost of 14 lacs rupees.

The Tamarind Tree project will mark spends of more than Rs. 50 lakhs by BRT2 from the proceeds of the BMR alone, and that too just in 4 years time. Our projects have included :

• Braille Kits
• Computers for the Braille Printing Press
• Cots for the Visually Impaired
• MP3 players as part of the Audio Library Project for the NAB
• Braille Typewriters
• A Girls Hostel for the mentally deficient children at the MDC Home
• 118 Cataract Operations at Peoples Mobile Hospitals
• Flooring at the Dhabon Centre for Cultivation Talent.

As with previous years we now look forward to your and your families’ support and participation in what has come to become a premier event for Round Table India.
