Grethon - A successful endeavor powered by an impressive Young Team

The Rotaractors of Rotatarct club of Hitech Engineering College organized a successful 5K marathon to raise funds for educating the underprivileged children on Nov 6^th, 2011 at the People’s Plaza on Necklace Road. This marathon was named as Grethon –a green marathon as it was organized in the green month of year. 

This team of 30 members including Vamsi, Rohith, Sirisha, Srikanth and several others have already explored some schools in the slum areas of Sanathnagar where there is a lack of teachers and teaching conditions and infrastructure is bad. They raised a good amount of money for the noble cause, Rs. 4.5 lakhs. They are looking at hiring Private teachers at Rs.7,000/mth and also buying books for the children pursing their primary as well as secondary school education. This is very critical phase in a child’s development and the ability to realize their potential.  

This was the first major event for this club. It was impressive for the coordination and details these young minds had covered incl. Police permission, logistics, marketing the site on web portals, newspapers, etc. It was refreshing to see that they made sure that the premises was cleaned up after the event. Very GOOD TEAM WORK FOLKS. 

We at HelloHyderabad.com wish this team all success and support as they plan to take up several such cause worthy initiatives in the future and involve more youth, our future in such endeavors.
