SATYAM History Satyam believes that wealth creation is incomplete unless it contributes to the betterment of society as a whole.

Creators of business or market value must constantly look for ways in which this value can be used to fulfil the larger social responsibility. When all segments of the society gain, the engines of growth are further energized. It is with this belief and foundation that Alambana (Sanskrit for support) was born. Alambana: Hands that Support, Hands that Strengthen The Satyam Alambana Trust was registered in 2000, with an aim to transforming the quality of life in urban areas. Alambanas services were directed primarily at the disadvantaged sections of the population in all the cities that. Satyam has offices in. Volunteers from among Satyam associates and their family members lead the services and perform the required tasks. Alambana was born out of the following four beliefs: We have a responsibility to serve the underprivileged. Serving the needy gives unparalleled inner satisfaction. Improving the quality of life in the communities around us helps us in the long run. Working for the needy adds value to our brand. Guiding Principles The following principles guide all that Alambana does: Serve through volunteering, not cheque-book charity Partner with others, not be exclusive Own results, not activity Synch with Satyam brand The services planned to be offered included: Providing world-class trauma and emergency care services

 Facilitating access to high quality healthcare services through medical camps, improving the functioning of public healthcare systems etc. Rehabilitation of alms seekers and other destitutes Imparting livelihood skills in Multimedia, Desk Top Publishing, BPO, MSOffice, home nursing etc. Improving the quality of education in adopted municipal schools Improving the environment through tree plantation, development of gardens and parks, waste management, sanitation Improving the quality of life in slums through a set of multi -pronged interventions World AIDS DAY - 2008 As a run up to World AIDS Day, Wake up Pune, a consortium of NGOs to fight AIDS, had come up with a series of interesting events to create awareness about the various issues on HIV/AIDS, like condom cricket, rock concert, a folk rock CD, Boot camps, street plays, positive living workshops, poster exhibitions etc. All the events were targeted towards youth who are more open to new ideas and concepts. These events commenced from the month of September 2008 and culminated in December 2008. During December for the World AIDS Day, distribution of Red Ribbons to Satyam associates, community, setting up kiosks in all Satyam locations, Street plays and a Rock concert were the highlights. The Rock concert by Agnee an International Hindi Band was a runaway success, with good music interspersed with messages on HIV. 20 youth groups from colleges, youth mandals, woman mandals participated in the Street play competition conducted under the Insaniyat Campaign organized by Lions Club, Mamata Foundation, DYS, Atharva Foundation. The plays depicted themes on stigma and discrimination and other HIV related issues. Cricket for a Cause Satyam Foundation was a part of Wake up Punes Condom Cricket Tournament. Condom Cricket is the same as a normal game of cricket, but the sport acts as a metaphor for the way in which HIV infects the human body. The batting team represents the immune system of protecting the human body, while the fielding team represents HIV and other illnesses trying to infect the human

body. The game is overseen by two umpires who represent doctors checking whether the virus has infected the body. The aim of the game is to bring people together to watch some good cricket whilst providing a forum for open dialogue about HIV and condom use. The Grand Final of the Condom Cricket Tournament was contested at BJ Medical College Grounds, Pune, with 32 college teams originally taking part. The semi-finals were 10-overs-a-side: Bharati Vidyapeeth (BVP) Ayurved defeated Rangoonwala Dental College, while Indira College of Business Studies was beaten by the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC). After a thrilling 12-overs-a-side final, AFMC emerged as champions of the Condom Cricket Tournament 2008. Underlining their dominance, both the Man of the Match and the Man of the Series trophies were also won by AFMC players. BVP Ayurved walked away with the runner-up trophy and a token cash prize. All in all, it was an exciting final, with some lively cheerleading by the kids from Deep Griha Society, joined by an ice-cream seller and an enterprising samosa salesman. The guests of honor were Dr. (Mrs.) Nirmala Borade (Dean of BJ Medical College), Claudia Ahumada and Edwin Nichols (from the World AIDS Campaign), and Amit McCann (Operations Manager of Cerillion India). Apart from 40 Satyam associates who volunteered, there were many outside volunteers who were involved in planning and implementation of the tournament. Childrens Day Pune Chapter celebrated Childrens Day with the kids at Girls Observation home. The planned activity was to have a competition on individual talents with all the girls in the age group of 7 to 14 years and to give a token of appreciation to the best ones and sweets to all. Along with this, the volunteers also conducted some fun games and taught rhymes in English and Hindi. The children had lots of fun and some recited poems with their sweet voices, while some were singing action songs and some were involved in performing wonderful dances. The volunteers enjoyed spending time with them. At the end of the activity, the volunteers announced the best performances and gave away the token of appreciation and we distributed sweets to all the kids. In fact, the volunteers did not feel like parting with those kids after the activity.

Training in Paper Quelling Products Satyam Foundation along with Susan Creations provided training to 24 women in difficult circumstances on paper quelling products to create livelihood. The role of Satyam Foundation is to identify the groups and provide training to the groups free of cost and provide market support for the products. The training was conducted by the resource person from Susan Creation to People Living with HIVs in Deep Griha Society. The 7 days training was conducted for 2 batches. The paper quelling products consists of attractive greeting cards, envelopes, Jewellery boxes and many more products. Boot Camps As a run up to World AIDS Day, Wake up Pune, a consortium of NGOs to fight AIDS, has come up with a series of interesting events to create awareness about the various issues on HIV/AIDS, like condom cricket, rock concert, a folk rock CD, Boot camps etc. All the events are targeted towards youth who are more open to new ideas and concepts. The Boot camp was organized by Satyam Foundation and Wake Up Pune for Satyam associates. The primary objective being to sensitize and improve participant understanding of HIV/AIDS, and related issues such as sexuality and drug use. Other sessions develop skills in activism, such as the creation of awareness media (street theatre, films) and grassroots level advocacy. Volunteers from other corporate like Cybage, Amdocs, Geometric were present and were inspired to start similar activities in their respective companies. The resource person was from the team of Wake Up Pune, an expertise in this field. The Bootcamp began with a small game Venus and mars which related to our approach towards the gender, the conclusion of this game being the only difference between men and women is the biological differences. This was followed by a detailed talk on HIV/AIDS with small activities, examples and case studies. Post lunch, the volunteers were involved in an activity related to stigma and discrimination. This was followed by dividing the volunteers into groups and then each group had to act out the stigma chakra (silence, fear, ignorance, stigma and discrimination) and then there was situational role plays and finally the group had to perform a disruptive theater, through which they had to pass on the right information on HIV/AIDS to the people around. At the end of the camp, Wake UP T- shirts were distributed to the participants. The camp was a huge success with good response and active participation by the

volunteers. The volunteers gave a positive feedback and they showed willingness to participate in all the Wake Up Pune events.

The session on Scientific toys making included toys like climbing monkey and dancing doll.

A common refrain from both children and parents was a demand for summer camps every year. Summer Camp at Jawaharlal Nehru Udyog Kendra

Satyam Foundation had conducted summer camp in Jawaharlal Nehru Udyog Kendra (Juvenile Home) for 15 Days. During this period the children were taught Art of living course, Drawing classes, rangoli classes, and theatre workshop and sports activities by our volunteers. On the last day , for the valedictory ceremony, the children displayed their drawings, paintings and rangoli.. They also performed a Skit and a Dance, published a handmade journal which contains stories, essays, poems, and drawings by the children. The Volunteers conducted sports activities for them with a Senior Associate as the Chief Guest. Come summer, most of the children have plans to go on holidays, join a camp or make other plans to engage themselves to extract the maximum fun. Not so for the 34 children of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Udyog Kendra, a juvenile home , where the children are either orphans or admitted under IPC. These children have neither homes or a future to look forward to. Each day is filled with loneliness leading to depression, time hanging heavily on them. Our Pune chapter organized a 3week camp for these children, with an aim to nurture their talents, introducing them to varied activities, like drawing rangoli, theatrical skills, Art of Living course, encouraging them to write and play games and sports. A student volunteer coordinated the camp activities, encouraged the children to take part in the activities as per their interests For three weeks the children were engaged in learning to make rangoli, writing and directing a play, writing stories, poems, random thoughts, drawing,painting, meditation, playing cricket etc. All the creative outputs were displayed for the closing ceremony. A journal titled 'Priya Sanstha' was brought out containing the stories, poems, thoughts, paintings, etc and was released at the closing ceremony. They performed a play depicting the life in an institution and the perception other people have about it. Volunteers took part in all the activities. As the superintendent said "The camp was a much needed to bring out the hidden potential of the children, increase their confidence while boosting their self esteems and dispelling their guilty feelings to some extent".

Hand- in Hand clean up The Indian Maritime Foundation under the Ocean Conservancy (Washington DC), Friend's Society-NIGC had launched a massive movement, to involve youth and society on relevant social issues. Part of this movement was cleaning up a stretch of the Mula Mutha river on the banks of Deccan Gymkhana in Pune. Inaugurated on 2nd October, the program attracted volunteers from every sphere of the society including special needs students, other students from various schools and colleges, volunteers from organizations and corporates, including 10 volunteers from Satyam who joined the activity on 13th October. The whole activity was aptly named, Hand-in-Hand Clean up! Armed with Data Cards, Gloves, First Aid kits and other material required for the clean up, volunteers enthusiastically went to work. They segregated the waste into bio-degradable waste and dry waste which was thrown in a green bag and a black bag respectively. Within two hours the volunteers gathered nine huge bags of garbage. This activity not only helped clean the polluted river but also successfully sensitized the participants and the general public who witnessed the cleanup about the environment. "Perhaps it is not possible to weigh the contribution we made to the whole clean up activity in two and a half hours, but the whole experience gave us valuable

insights into the huge problem known as pollution. Small acts like disposing garbage correctly, taking and acting responsibility to care about the environment, and acknowledging the importance of teamwork go a long way to make an impact and to make a difference" says our Volunteer coordinator- Ritu Nanhorya. Plantation Drive was taken up in December '07 in all the 3 Satyam locations in Pune. Most of the plants were medicinal and others were fruits, flowers and show plants. Health 4 Blood Donation Camps were conducted in which 159 units of Blood was donated by Satyam Associates.

Volunteers from Pune distributed notebooks,drawing books and oil pastels to 56 children of Mobile Creche an NGO. They also conducted rapport building games for the children, took sessions on hygiene, Cleanliness etc. Education Satyam Foundation works with the Night School with the objective to teach English communication to the 10th and 12th std students as one of the initiative of Education forums. There are few children who have to earn their livelihood by working whole day because of their poor economic background and get no time to go to regular schools. Hence, they go to night schools to complete their education. Night School serves a good medium for fulfilling the educational interests of such children. Last year, our M7 team had conducted the spoken English classes for the 9th and 11th std children. These classes have helped the students to enhance their communication skills for better job opportunities. According to the School authorities, many of them scored very good marks in English due to the effective classes in English by the M7 team. We had also organized a Felicitation function in the month of June, and gave Scholarship of Rs. 3000/- ,

including the fees and books to six of the deserving students from the last batches. The scholarships were sponsored by five of our associates and one of the project team. This year, Our M7 team conducted the classes for 10th and 12th std, from 14th June to 30th August, 07. The number of students in 10th is 48 and the number of students in 12th is 36. Around 10 students from Day school also attend the classes for their benefit. M7 team conducted total 12 sessions conducted for both 10th and 12th std students. The average attendance of the students was 90%.

Sessions Conducted: 1) Introduction to the course that we are conducting and students introduction. 2) Noun, Pronouns and Proper Nouns. 3) Verb - Sentences. 4) Adjective - Sentences. 5) Tense: Past, Present and Future Tenses. 6) News paper reading and Discussion. 7) Essay and Speech Competition on the eve of Independence Day. 8) Extempore in English Correction of sentences and discussion. All the sessions were interactive. Each and every student was given an opportunity to express himself, but in English language so that they improve in communication and then the volunteers guided them about the sentence formation, pronunciation and the meanings of the words that they did not know. The students seemed to be enjoying this kind of learning where they got an opportunity to express their views and opinions frankly as well as learning to speak English. The Essay and Speech competition was a real boost to them as they were all excited to present their talents and get appreciation from Judges. The best three speeches in each class were given English Essay books as a token of appreciation. Our volunteers played the role of Judges. The School authorities requested to conduct the same classes for the 9th and 11th std as the 10th and 12th std students were busy with their exams and the teachers had to complete their syllabus in time. Hence, last session was conducted on 30th August, 07 by the m7 team. The M7 team began with the Teacher's Day celebration on 6th September for the 9th and 11th std. Sweets were distributed to all students of 9th, 10th , 11th and 12th std. The first session was based on introduction and about their expectations from the M7 team. This would help the M7 team to conduct effective sessions. One of our senior volunteer has taken initiative to prepare the modules for the children. All the forthcoming sessions will be based on these modules.

Volunteers Experiences: "While imparting what I have, gave me sense of belonging of working for the welfare of the students, who work in the day to earn a living & study at night to make the best of their lives. And becoming a part of this process makes me feel happy.

They want sessions like these to be held frequently." -Santosh Venkataraman "It is rightly said: Sow a thought, and you reap an act, Sow an act, and you reap a habit, Sow a habit, and you reap a character, Sow a character, and you reap a destiny. And here in Satyam foundation I have found my destiny. Since childhood I always wanted to do something for the kids who could not study due to many reasons. Satyam Foundation has given me an opportunity and a platform to fulfill my dreams. After teaching in night school I feel satisfied as I could do something in my way to help the students who work during the day hours and study at night and in the due course I too have learnt many things. Thanks to Vandana and Anjana to provide me this opportunity and believing in me and also helping me out in all my activities. I wish that several other people come forward and render their help to the society." -Shweta Varshney "Being a part of Night school activity gives a great sense of satisfaction and pleasure because this gives us an opportunity to directly do something for our

society and country.
