"From: "Jinankb" <jinankb at eth.net> Subject: Re: Re:
learningsocietiesconference; Hi I would like to share with you the plan
for setting up a learning centre in my village in Kerala.  Do respond.I
would like to take forward the idea of setting up a learning centre for
the dropouts in my village.I am planning to set up a learning centre in
the village to support informal as well as formal learning.I am planning
to do this for the 'drop outs and potential drop outs. The age group is
from 11 to 16. We need to do bit of compromises to get the parents to send
children to me.Schools provide food in the afternoon and a small
stipend.This I will have to give the students.What I have in mind is to
get children to learn various general skills like simple farming, cooking,
house repair, carpentry/electical connection/motor mechanism, swimming,
cycling, pottery, etc., and language and mathematics, computer, etc. 
Incase the children want to do degree etc that also needs to be
supported. A small library, instuments and tools, etc., is also required.
Do help me to formulate a proposal.I will require support in building a
small house with 4 rooms to serve the purpose of office/store/library and
theory sessions.The children will be out in the community doing various
things and the village is the class room.Another expence is for an
adminstrator and teachers who will be hired for teaching various subjects
once in a while.  One guest room is then required as these teachers will
be comming for short stays.Do send me your reactions.  Jinan "
