Giving back to the school

A handful of alumni are quite enthu about going back to school for a visit. I am sure these very people would also love to step forward to offer some career counselling advice to the X & XII std. students at school. I floated the proposal of contributing to the school on the orkut group today.

The idea is to form a core team of members who will co-ordinate various activities (e.g. career counselling), and ensure we have enough volunteers to carry through this for the years to come. Considering that we have over 100 members on both groups combined, even if 4-5 people volunteer every month, we should be in a good position.

Specifically for the career counselling idea, we can begin by listing our experiences after school. How we chose the under-grad course, when did we plan for the current career we are in, how did we plan that, what all guidance is available for pursuing your area of interests, what resources are there...etc etc etc.

Other than career counselling, we can offer reading sessions to kids in the elementary grade. Spoken english of kids in our school is hardly anything to write home about. Again, some of us can volunteer (But this would be on a weekly basis) to read out stories to these kids so that they can catch the pronunciations.

Once above ideas take good shape, we can have summer camps for taking this forward.

More ideas/ suggestions etc are welcome!
Cheers!
