Hope everyone is good. Recently one of our members communicated, regarding help to two college students studying B Com (3 years) in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. They are are currently in their 1st year of college and are in need of financial assistance. The situation is bad, and they might have to discontinue their studies, if someone cannot sponsor them.

They have heard about us, and wanted to know if we can help them on their studies. I spoke to both of them 2 days back and inquired more about their studies and financial status. I have also asked them to send the required documents, which will help us further.

World Community Grid uses the processing power of computers connected to the internet. The processing power is being used for many not-for-profit researches (list available in the website). All you need to do is to create an account, install a small piece of software in your PC/ Mac and its done. Its absolutely safe.

Most of the time, we do not use 100 percent of the CPU and this can be used for such purposes. You do not have to worry about starvation of your processes, as you can set the preferences like the percentage of CPU and disk space that can be used by world community grid and ensure that the processing power of your system is used only when you are not using it.

for more… check out the website.

How is CKF contributing towards this?

We have formed a team and contributing towards the researches. Find the team details below. If you think you can contribute, create a login and join the below team.Thanks.

We have started the work and have given away the first computer :). Yes. true and delighted.

Last Saturday (19 July 2008) we visited Sri Sathya Sai Sevakshetra (school) in Marthalli, Bangalore and donated them a computer which we promised a month back. The school is basically for the children of the construction workers in that area. I should tell the children were excited that they were going to learn computers.The school is run by volunteers (They are looking for more, You can get in touch with me if you want to help them in any way…). There are around 20 students of different ages in the class and the classes happen from Monday to Saturday. The classes do not follow a very strict syllabi as of now, but help them face the world by teaching them general conversational knowledge and general knowledge.

Above are the pictures taken during the visit and the computer we donated to them.

Some of their wishlists

1. Fund to pay salary(for some months…) to the staff which is around 3500. (as of now they have one dedicated staff)
2. Volunteers during weekends.
3. If you think, you can screen a movie for them on a weekend, you are welcome.

Please feel free to contact us, if you think we can help them in some way.

Hope to continue the good work with all the support. Thanks again to everyone.

PS: If you think you know a school, that might need some help in setting up a lab/ library please let us know via this page. And if you want to become a member, go here.

” Kris Kamisetty from Intel directed me to this website, and I have to say - I’m really impressed! The work you are doing is truly inspiring and I have always dreamed of doing the same. In fact, my friend Sriram and I were planning on flying to India this summer to set up a computer lab in a rural Indian school (we currently reside in the US). Anyways, our idea was to set up a lab using thin clients so our hardware requirements would be really low. The server to which the clients are connected to would provide all the processing power as well as the hard disk space. This way, we figured that we can use old and low powered computers and still set up a successful lab. As for the operating system, we decided to use Edubuntu which has several productivity applications designed specifically for students. It would also allow the instructor to have control over every terminal.
Heres the website if you\’d like more information:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/

I’m not sure if we’ll be able to make it this summer, but if we do, I’ll surely get in touch with you. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks,
Aravindh “

Recently we got an information from one of our members regarding some help to Mr. B.Devarajan, Coimbatore, who was suffering from heart problems and has undergone a “Bypass Surgery” last week since he had multiple blocks in heart. We tried few other organizations for help. We also thought of contributing some funds to help him from our side.

So we extend the help by donating him a sum of Rs.5000(Five thousand only) from Computer Kindness which will be of some use to the person. Below are the details of the person to whom we are going to help. We will be handing over the cheque in a day or two to the concerned person.
