One fine sunday....

22nd July 2007, an Emotional day for Volunteers and Students of Friends of children Trust.Occasion was to bid good bye to the first batch of students who joined us when the trust took birth, or rather these are the children behind the birth of FOCh.The First Batch of students have finished their Graduation and have taken up jobs and two of our students getting into IIT to pursue M.Tech It really called for celebrations.The specialty of the program was it was fully planned and managed by the students except for little guidance and support from the volunteers.

The day started with a Prayer

It was time for the gang Achievers to share their thoughts, motivate the new students, Cry and become emotional....( was it started by me ??, hope not )

Nancy is working with Siemens, after finishing her B.E in CSE from UVCE, Bangalore.

Kiran, who has been mentored for the last three years, secured a seat in IIT-Madras in MTech-Computer Science. Kiran ranked 5th in engineering entrance after completing diploma.

Among the guests we had were people from Oracle with whose partnership we conducted program called HOPE, Anil Birla who made an impact on our B.Com students giving them to commerce beyond academics. The Achievers of the out going batch were felicitated by the guests.

The Day ended with a BIG Group photo session and Snacks brought by BG entering their rightful place.

With this we bid Goodbye to a Batch of a Bright students to pursue their career and make it big in life.

But, how could we close the day without welcoming the new Volunteers, The out going batch has taken up the mentoring of new students. It really feels great.

If this calls you to be a volunteer yourself do not hold back just drop a mail to Ravi, Shrikanth or Akash
