We would like to begin our 1 st Annual Report by saying Ebenezer, “Thus for has the Lord helped us". The Zamar Educational Trust was founded with a vision TEACH which stands for ‘Transforming the lives of the less privileged children through Education with Affection and Care in a Homely atmosphere'. This vision began to materialize with the launch of Zamar Academy on the 1 st of June 2004. We have started functioning from rented premises at 236, Ambiga Street , Golden George Nagar, Cherinal.

Our Children
|
| |
We conducted field surveys in the neighborhood areas of Eri Scheme, Nerkundram, Koyambedu and Golden George Nagar and identified 32 Children. The parents are mostly daily wage earners. The family size varies from 3 to 5 children. Their dwelling places are huts built on an unauthorized land. Most of the parents have not finished their schooling. Some of their children attend the corporation school. Their general conditions neither provide a conducive atmosphere for the development of the child nor do they have the financial resources.

Our Method
|
| |
In line with our vision we made it a priority to build a rapport with the children. Much time was spent in playing with them and identifying oneness with them step by step. We taught them hygiene and personal care. Children were given two sets of uniform a pair of shoes and other accessories. We groomed them into a disciplined routine. Recognising the importance of health, we planned a balanced diet for them and provided them daily lunch and snacks. Doctors from MMM Hospital conducted a medical check up. We are maintaining separate files for medical records.
