Hello Donors, Members and Wellwishers,

Yes, it has been quite a while I wrote to u. Ofcourse a lot of
things have happened during the intervening days. The 11th Batch
of students numbering 25 has rolled out. All have been placed in
companies such as FoodWorld, FabMal, Café-Coffee-Day,
Dusters, Panasonic Sales and Service, and ITC. We are happy to
share with u that we have started a 3rd Vocation `Care Takers for
Service Apts'. We trained three students to begin with. They
learnt `hands on' in a guest house `Athiti' and a Catering
Place `Moulis Catering'. All the three have been placed. The
success of this new vocation has spurred us to not only continue all
the three vocations, but made us think about starting a few more
vocations that are suitable and job oriented to to-days' needs. –
ofcourse after we shift to our new infrastructure which is coming
up at NGEF Layout.

We had also taken the students of `Retail Sales' for a visit to
Pantaloon's `Brand Factory' (where five of our earlier Batch
students are working as sales personnel) to show them the work
environment/culture etc. The visit , we thought, would make them
acquire better work habits when they take up jobs in similar
outlets.

As usual we have started the necessary preparations for starting our
next Batch. We are in touch with some NGOs who normally identify
candidates for the course. But this itself may not be sufficient.
So kindly help us in continuing the project by identifying deserving
poor candidates for the course. You may direct them to `Unnati'
office to obtain applications and other details.

Last but not the least. Two of our students of `Retail Sales' from
our I Batch who were placed in FoodWorld, 100 ft. Road, Indiranagar
in Jan.04, have secured their promotions as `Asst. Managers'. This
proves that if candidates have focus and continue in the same job,
their performance and work are bound to be rewarded. `Unnati'
salutes their discipline and work ethics!!!

We will be in touch with u to update our activities.

With best wishes,
Ranga
