PAINT PONDICHERRY -  A SMALL INITIATIVE I wanted to give an intro of what "Paint Pondicherry" so I came up with the article. What we are? What we are upto in near future.                   I want to give a small brief about where we started. Let me tell about smile foundations, we started it in 2010 I guess, A group of students who wanted to do something or the other positively to the society, we have done blind cricket tournaments, Every Festival Celebrated with orphanages, a lot of stuffs actually.

So Whats really the outcome I would want to register here is

So basically a part of my Childhood have been spent in Government schools. I have soo many memories of it. I have been taken as the "liked" kid by the students from their schools, wherever they worked, up to certain age. So recently, I happen to drop my mom in her newly Transferred school which is 30 Kms from Pondicherry. It was a lovely place. A lovely School with a lovely set of teachers. What I noticed, The Teachers' Efforts! Out of no work pressure, the volunteering, the selflessness, Man! I was surprised if this could happen in any other private school without a thought of
