When we started seven years ago we talked about what we would do with our children after Parikrma. But those were just words laced with dreams. Early this year that became a reality and in spite of all our planning we were left surprised and breathless. Children do grow up very fast and no business plan can keep pace with that! We have been nurturing thirty one of our senior kids since 2003. Of this two fell in love and went their own way. a way that thankfully has brought them back to us again. Anyway, 29 children who began schooling only seven years ago sat for the PU (Pre -University) 2nd year exam in March 2010. 55% of them got through in Science and 50% got through in Commerce. Then began the learning of what it takes to get children admitted into appropriate colleges. This included numerous counseling sessions of the parents and even their neighbours! These children are the first to go to college not only in their families but in their entire community and we could not take that lightly. I am proud to say that three of our kids cleared the Common Entrance Test (CET) of the Karnataka State and have been placed in very good colleges for computer engineering, telecom engineering and dental medicine. One is into BSc, six into BCom, one in BCA, three into Hotel Management, one into Diploma in Education and two in Fine Arts. Three have been persuaded to attempt PU again next year. The rest have been put into various vocational training. Karthik one among them was put in training at KFC in Jaynagar and even before we could visit him there, got promoted to a supervisor and has been training new inductees and has even gone ahead and hired a Parikrma child recently! In short, another story of Parikrma has begun. This is the beginning of the stage 3 of the e2e model we have told you about (from kindergarten all the way to being placed in a job). We call this last lap of our Model the Final Leap program. So far you have heard stories of little kids excelling in Parikrma. From now on you will also hear of young adults who have had their grounding in Parikrma making their mark in life.
