53 From the Directors
In our quest towards self-improvement, we are fortunate to be surrounded by such supportive partners. This year, an “ASSIST Vision Conference” was graciously hosted in Milan, Italy by our partners to discuss various questions concerning the future of the organisation. End of Poverty introduced our staff to the Social Return on Investment tool, which will allow us to better evaluate the impact of our programmes. Government has come in to offer support
for roads and housing in a difficult year of natural disaster to provide support in areas such as school infrastructure devastation. And finally, new partners have entered the fold and vocational training. With all of this support, we are heartened in our belief that we can continue moving forward.
Despite our heavy focus on the future, ASSIST remembers where it has come from and what it has accomplished over the years. Having celebrated ASSIST’s Silver Jubilee Anniversary on the 11th and 12th of January J. Ranga Rao 2011, we are proud to say that we have completed 25 Operational Director years of our commitment to the poor having spread our arena to Prakasam, Guntur, Krishna, Ranga Reddy and Mahaboobnagar Districts, and we have created indelible After 25 years of dedicated service to the poor and marks in the history of voluntarism in Andhra Pradesh. downtrodden, ASSIST looks back with an air of celebration, but also with a sense of anticipation to what the future years years, the following are worthwhile to keep on record: Recalling significant events in our mind over the past 25 will hold.

Cultural Camps
In the year under review, ASSIST’s cultural team MELUKOLUPU continued to adapt its performance techniques in order to reach its target audience with relevant information tailored to each particular community’s needs. For instance, in the lime industry area of Piduguralla where child labour continues to be a pervasive problem, MELUKOLUPU chose 20 rehabilitated children from ASSIST’s residential study complex to undergo training in performing the arts. Having developed a play highlighting the dangers of working conditions for children and the benefits for parents to send their children to school, this group was able to perform before the District officials and non-officials on the occasion of Indian Republic Day the appreciation from the District Collector and other on 26th January 2011. The team stood first and received successful, and will be replicated in other areas as well. officials on that day. This child-centred model proved highly
Another example of MELUKOLUPU’s ability to cater to the informational needs of the people is illustrated in the area of water. Although the team has performed many songs on issues of safe drinking water, conservation and avoiding water-borne diseases, a new topic that has emerged in the recent year has been on the maintenance of water treatment plants. As a relatively new initiative being promoted by ASSIST, Reverse Osmosis Plants (ROP) have been introduced in a number of communities, thus creating the necessity to educate people on the proper use and maintenance of water treatment plants at a local level.

The Right to Education Act came into force on the 1st April 2010, signalling an important step towards ensuring universal primary education within India, and recognising education as a fundamental right of every child. Due to the importance of this historic moment and the practical implications of the Act, much time in the period under review was spent disseminating the relevant information to the target communities. As can be seen from the data, many of the rallies and wall paintings focused on children’s education for this reason.
