PRESENT TENSE...:-/ FUTURE PERFECT....:-)

As SAHAYA completes two years and entered into third year, the rapid growth of the organization and the impending challenges that it face, drive home the need to take a hard re-look at the charter of the society and decide on a course which would set the society on a path of growth with consolidation.

I feel it’s time to sit back and collectively decide on some of the fundamental questions:
Where are we? Where do we want to be in the next five years and how do we get there?

It is now imperative that we look back at the two years that have gone by, assess the successes and failures and chart out a path for the next five years. We would also be using the general meeting to have an open house discussion on the future direction and focus of the society. Based on my experience here children are eager to learn and accomplish more complex skills: reading, writing in the form of moral values, recognize cultural and individual differences and are able to manage most of their personal needs and grooming with minimal assistance.Let me walk you through some of the achievements of the society in the year 2008/09.

The past year has been a roller-coaster ride for the society. It started with a positive note, half way through alarm bells started ringing and at the end of the year, there is again some hope. When I look back they were few things to come in the horizon. We therefore started with a comprehensive and aggressive agenda for this academic year. Some of the important issues decided to take up in true perspective are following:
• Stronger and more effective relation with volunteers.
• Review of the SAHAYA structure.
• A more comprehensive events in the calendar year.

With all realistic aspirations and vivid imaginations, we analyze what has to be executed at an internal level as well as an external level to identify all opportunities and threats. On the other hand society having short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals, initially we have to attain short-term goals fairly then steps up to the medium-term, then to the long-term goals. SAHAYA society co-ordinate these goals in a step wise manner so that they do not conflict with each other.

The positive coincidence is our volunteers are working hard at being responsible, being good and doing right. They are now more reasonable to share and cooperate. I believe our volunteers at this age are becoming more aware of themselves as individuals for a good cause which leads to adopt more number of schools in the near future.

My appreciations to all the patrons of SAHAYA society who are professional and committed to the pursuit of society welfare. SAHAYA society tries hard to exceed what people expect, by being personally involved and I ensure that our sessions will bring glory to each and every child, which will make "Future Perfect :-)".
