Documentary on the life of Dr. Abdul Kalam to tell the importance of education to motivate children to stay in school.
Asha's involvement with this project is for one year, we want to ensure that this documentary on Kalam's life reaches the targeted children. As part of this effort, the documentary will be shown at different places (asha projects, other schools and also if possible, show it to the people in the entire village) throughout Tamil Nadu. We would like to show it to 1 lakh children by the end of 2004. Also as part of this, we will encourage children to write letters to the President, and these letters will be collected and delivered to Dr. Kalam.
