| A Visit to PSS Trust
|
|
| On 28 February 2010, a team from Mahindra Satyam Tesco OTM (Veenandhari Ponkam, Appalaraju Nimmana, Parikshit Wadhawan, Balasudheer, Sriharish, Kasturi, Jayabalan and four family volunteers) visited the Pothukuchi Santi Sree Social Welfare & Charitable Trust, Miyapur, Hyderabad. Mr. Kasturi V. Rao, Senior Manager, Mahindra Satyam (Tesco-Primary Support team) accompanied the team.
|
|
| The Trust is run by Mr. Srinivas Rao and his wife. The childless couple devote their energy to help poor students from the surrounding slums realize their dreams through education. Many children studying in Govt. schools do poorly in board exams for lack of proper teaching and drop out of further studies. Mr. Rao personally picks such bright children, meets their parents to motivate them to encourage their children to study. Mr. Rao, along with two retired school teachers who share the same passion, tutor 120 students. These young learners belong to families living under poverty line (children of daily wage construction workers or auto drivers), mostly from backward classes, who would otherwise be forced to work as child labor.

|
| These students prepared for their exams, with intense coaching in their respective subjects. All the children are provided with books, fees, tea, evening snacks and one meal. Girl students are provided with transportation while returning home after coaching. Presently the first batch of students are in the final year of the Diploma Program.
|
|
| While the Tesco team contributed 200 KGs of fine quality rice for the students, Mahindra Satyam Foundation contributed 200 long notebooks, 65 T-Shirts and 65 Caps. Chief Guest Mr. Kasturi Visweshwar Rao, Sr. Manager distributed the Notebooks, T-Shirts, and Caps for 120 Children.
|
|
| All the associates interacted with the students and motivated them to set goals and work hard to achieve them. They also resolved to visit the home on weekends to mentor/assist them in their studies.
