RCPC has raised about Rs. 24 Lakhs in RY 2017-18 toward TEACH mission of Rotary International. RCPC in order to make-a-difference found a great partner in Amdocs, an Information Technology company in Pune, which employs roughly 10,000 people, many of whom are between ages 30 to 50. Through their joint efforts, RCPC & Amdocs will increase the throughput of the impact in Mulshi taluka. The next event happened on February 17, 2018 when Team-2 from Amdocs of about 10 people arrived at 9:30 a.m. at Lt. B. Rayrikar School in Urawade Village. Since it was also the last day of school for the 12th Standard students, this kick-off event was scheduled for 2 hours. Three ladies from Amdocs presented a skit of 20-minute duration based on the theme, "Dangers from Strangers in the Internet." The story and dialogues were written by Rtn. Madhavi Vaze from RCPC. An invitee Rotarian from RC Pune Airport also attended this event. Mr. Rahul from Amdocs then choreographed Bollywood style dancing for the students and the whole place just rocked! The school principal gave a tour of his school to everyone. Considering the proximity of the final examinations, this kick-off event was curtailed at 11:30 a.m. followed by school treating everyone with a lunch. In summary, both the events were quite successful in the sense that Amdocs folks truly enjoyed "A day out at the school" and appeared to have developed more interest in participating in more of such social activities together with RCPC. The next session will continue only after the final exams, during which time the Amdocs employees are planning to paint & beautify some classrooms at these schools during summer holidays, and once the schools re-open, then conduct activities like building self-confidence, developing computational skills, career guidance, and education assistance which will also include teacher's training. Following are some photographs of these events.
