We "SIMPLE THOTS Team" did an education drive at yousufguda government high school @ hyderabad.About 20 Software engineers from Satyam,Qualcomm,AMD, Wipro, CS etc participated in it.
We encouraged children to make new friends, speak loud about what they dislike and what they like,we asked them to like few things which will be good for them. We did sessions for 1st to 5th in morning...9th and 10th class in evening.we maintained a 1:20 (teacher:student ratio).we made the beginning to the change we dream.
