6.       IMAGES:

7.       THE CONQUEST:

·         We made arrangements for sanctioning building bathrooms for the school.

·         We motivated students to go for higher education.

·         We were able to wipe out the negative thoughts of nothing is possible for them from the minds of the girls.

·         We were able to talk to the parents about the problems of early marriage and the importance of educating girls.

·         We were able to convince the officials to provide more transportation facilities to the villages.

8.       OBSTACLES FACED:

·         As it was a highly restricted area we faced a lot of problems for getting permissions from forest officials to enter the area

·         There was only one bus for the transport that runs only once in a day.

·         There were no proper facilities to stay.

·         There were no toilets or bathrooms.

·         There were wild animals around us. So we actually felt the terror while sleeping at night. We made lighted fire woods around the buildings to be safe.

·         We were not fluent in their native language. It was a rare type of Tamil spoken only between them. So we had to use a translator to convey most of our ideas.

9.       TOTAL MAN HOURS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT:

·         4 days

1      ROAD AHEAD:

·         More bathrooms and toilets must be constructed to the schools.

·         Medical camps must be conducted every year for them.

·         Career guidance classes must be provided to them yearly.

·         Computers and stationery facilities are very poor, We are thinking to make arrangements for those.

1        ROSES AND THORNS:

·         We got a chance to meet many officials for taking permissions and also it was a rare chance to visit the village.

·         Private vehicles are not allowed inside. It was a new experience to travel in jungle official jeep.

·         The most memorable incident was meeting the students. They treated us in a very well manner with love and affection.

·         We got a chance to live like one among them for one day
