Swami Vivekananda Educational Society, Bangalore - $3500.00 was sent in July 2004 to fund the "Annapoona scheme" . The funds would be sufficient to serve mid day meals for about 150 deserving students from the near by slum, for about 200 days of the next school year. The meals are prepared by volunteers and the students are responsible for
serving, cleaning and other chores. The parents of the children from the slums are extremeley grateful that their children are getting atleast one nourishing meal a day.
