SEB’S PROJECTS FIRST QUARTER REPORT-2019
Enrollment campaign
A Rally was organized in all the villages to identify school drop-
outs and never enrolled children to enroll in the nearest Seb’s
schools for the academic year 2019-20. The rally emphasized
the importance of right to compulsory education. Children held
placards and voiced slogans while walking through the villages.
The village head man flagged off the rally in each village. This
year Seb’s school has a total strength of 330 students.
First term
June to September month is the first term for the academic
year. Organizing school uniforms, note books, text books and
noon meals with the government was the major task in this
term. The government support was truly appreciative in provid-
ing all the necessary supplies for all our schools. The block lev-
el officers and Chief education officers from the District educa-
tion department visited our school for supervision and gave a
good report. The First term exam was conducted in all the
schools and the school was closed for term holidays from 30th
September to 9th October “.
Teachers and coordinators also visited the previous year main-
streamed students to motivate them and to ensure that they
continue their middle schooling. While visiting we felt happy
that our children are doing extremely well. They look confident
in their look and behaviour and proud of themselves. (Taking
picture of girls in residential school is prohibited for security

Child labour eradication awareness program
As part of the community education program, our school teachers or-
ganized awareness program on child labour. Though migration with
children for work has reduced to a great extent, we felt it is very im-
portant to keep on insisting, so that it does not revert as it affects the
children’s education. The program exposed the ill effects of child la-
bour. Community people also participated in the program .
Independence Day celebration We consider celebration of national days very important in school as
people in tribal areas have no exposure and chance to know or par-
ticipate in such celebrations .We celebrated Independence Day in our
schools by hoisting the national flag. This year also we celebrated
with all the community people coming together. Teachers gave a
speech about the nation and the freedom fighters.
Art sessions Charlotte Aiken volunteered for one month to teach art in Seb’s schools. The sessions was filled
with fun and colors. Using paints as a medium she introduced children to different forms of art. She
also conducted a workshop for Seb’s teachers. Charlotte visited Arni School as well as Pri-
yadharshini special school and taught art and crafts. Her time with the children was very valuable
and special.
Clowns visit
The Humanitarian Clowns headed by Tim visited our Periyapanaparai School and did clowning
with our school children. The whole of Periyapanaparai village was filled with laughter. The clowns
made the school students go crazy with their funky makeups and fun
activities. Students enjoyed the clowning day to
the fullest.
Tyler’s library
Slade and her Son Hudson are the regular clowns visiting us for the past five years. Slade im-
pressed by our school project offered support to the school library. This year she stacked the Ty-
ler’s library with more English books. She also gifted book marks, stickers and Library bags. She
also expressed her willingness to start a similar Tyler’s library in other Seb’s schools.
Maruthavalimedu School: Maruthavalimedu school construc-
tion is still in the process. As we all know the community came
forward to bake more than 2000 bricks for construction, now that
we are in the process of laying the foundation. It is huge chal-
lenge for us to transport the construction materials to the hills and
so the construction process is slowing down. We hope that the
work will finish as soon as possible. Thanks to the community
people who have offered support to build the school.
Medical check-up: General medical check-up
was organized for this quarter in Seb’s school. Mo-
bile medical unit from CMC visited the village and
did checkups for all our children. Individual health
record note for all the children in maintained in the
schools. There was no major illness identified ex-
pect simple cough and cold.
Blood group identification: As per the Government norms recording the blood group of the
school students is mandatory. Our team organized with the Government Primary Health center to
identify the blood group of all the school students. All the students in Seb’s school with the help of
the ccommunity were brought to Peenjamandhai health center to give blood samples. It was a
one day mass event organized in partnership with the Government health services. We are very
happy for the fact that though our school are in remote places, we were able to bring people in
line in all possible ways to access the welfare schemes and other benefits.
Fun activities with volunteers: We often have
young volunteers from Vellore itself, who are inter-
ested to visit our schools in the hills. Bringing these
people to the hills to do fun games and activities
make our children happy and enthusiastic. We be-
lieve that giving an exposure to meet different people
will help our children to develop communication skills
and keep motivated. We thank the VIT Professor Mr.
Sebastian, and VIT students Adithitya and Shrey-
ansh and Giridharan and Naveen for their constant
visits and activities .
Bag stitching: Thangama from Thandayanko-tai village is one enthusiastic women who con-tinues to inspire us in all ways .She is a very resourceful member of the self-help group. Thangama stitched the customized bags for the clowns. Spinning and soap making still continues to en-
sure income for the women group.
