What we have been doing

Pointers Who Care organised its signature event - the Teachers' Reunion - for the fourth consecutive year. Teachers joined in huge numbers to meet a large contingent of their ex-students over lunch, adda and impromptu music to relive the glorious schooldays left behind. [Click here for photos.]

Movie Show [28. Dec. 2010 - 23:15]

On the 28th of December 2010, we did something new. We took our teachers out to see a film!

Many enthusiastic teachers were accompanied by PWC volunteers to a showing of Gautam Ghosh's recent film "Moner Manush" on the life of Lalan Fakir. The teachers enjoyed the film immensely and were touched by the efforts of PWC. They congratulated PWC for the variety of events the team has organized so far.

Bijoya Sammelani ~2010 [31. Oct. 2010 - 23:00]

The Bijoya Sammelani is quickly becoming one of our flagship programmes of the year!

Once again, we rejoiced in the celebration of this event with our beloved teachers -- an afternoon filled with music, speeches, confabulations, food, flowers, ribbons, decorations and, mostly importantly, radiating love and companionship. Over ninety retired teachers attended the event.

Ex-pointers Bilash Khan and Chadraboli Rudra Dutta were the star attractions among the performers. The teachers especially appreciated the homage paid to Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore on the year of his 150th birth anniversary. Each of them was gifted with a souvenir -- a facsimile of the original manuscript of Gitanjali published by Sahitya Samsad.

On the 14th of October 2010, Pointers Who Care organised a Puja Parikrama for the retired teachers in which they were taken pandal hopping and enjoyed Bhog and Dhaaki Dance with the PWC members. This event made this year's Durga Puja an extra-special one for both the ex- teachers and the members of Pointers Who Care. [Click here for photos.]

Medical Support to our Retired Teachers [ 1. Sep. 2010 - 23:59]

In the last one year and half, Pointers Who Care has tied up with multiple medical shops, diagnostic centres and hospitals in different parts of the city for our retired teachers to access. From these sources, they are able to avail of medical care and resources conveniently and at substantially reduced prices. A large number of our retired teachers have already benefitted, financially and otherwise, from these tie-ups.
