As part of the largest secret campaign that I am working on for Grassroots, a long pending due task got prioritized and it’s completed now 🙂
Tree plantation with Sevalayam / Prithvi
Volunteered for a Tree plantation drive with Sevalayam – Prithvi, Ajith, Subash and few others.
They are not about planting 100s of trees. But just planting one per week and maintaining it daily 🙂
NGO Self Signup
To signup with Grassroots, NGOs had to go through a manual process before. Most of it is now automated and they can just signup now here.
Though I have to verify them and approve before they could make use of any of our offering.
One awesome day with Ennangalin Sangamam / NDSO
Travelled to Cuddalore, to attend Inauguration function of a Home built for Boom Boom Maatukarargal community.
There are multiple specialities about the construction of this Home.
- The beneficiary family, who is receiving the home is equipped with the knowledge of house construction and they built it themselves, under NDSO Engineer’s supervision.
- The bricks are baked by themselves in a eco friendly way, with the sand taken from the same place where the house is constructed.
- And the total cost of the House is an unbelievable Rs. 60,000!!!
One pilot house is now constructed and Inaugurated yesterday.
Remaining 20+ houses will be constructed in next 1-2 months.
Apart from the Inauguration, had a great opportunity to meet with a dozen Change makers throughout the journey. Will be briefing about them in upcoming posts, as I will be working with these people in future 🙂
Movies
- Bhoomi – With mom
- Snowden – Holy fuck. I know almost all things that’s shown in the film already. But the Live cam feed is bloody out of league. 2 scenes from this:
- All kingdom Snow white
- NSA Guy: Think of PRISM like a Google search, except instead of searching only for what people make Public, we are also looking at everything they don’t. So Emails, Chats, SMS, whatever.
- Snowden: okay. of which people?
- NSO Guy: All kingdom, Snow white!
- NSA having capability to watch Live Video stream from People’s Laptops.
- All kingdom Snow white
