A Tonne of Rice

The Goa Chapter of FOR was started in August 2008 with just two volunteers (Prakash and me). . Since then it has come a long way..... 7 months have passed and with time we have grown.... and multiplied into a team of more than 15 volunteers.

On 21st Feb 2009, 7 months since its inception, FOR creates history by collecting and distributing 1 tonne of rice grains among the needy.

Details of the various collections:

No.	Name of organisation	Quantity(kg)
1.	Kiran Niketan, Birla	44.15
2.	MES Higher Secondary School, Zuarinagar	92.85
3.	MES College of Arts and Commerce, Zuarinagar	191.00
4.	Government High School, Mangoor Hill	50.00
5.	Navy Children School, Chicalim	215.00
6.	Kendriya Vidyalaya No.1, Vasco-da-gama	279.00
7.	Kendriya Vidyalaya No.2, Vasco-da-gama	127.00
Total:		999kg

The collected grains were distributed to three institutions:

1. Our Home - Bogmalo
2. Love India Charitable Trust, Sancoale
3. Boys Orphanage, Agassaim

All the operations of Fist Of Rice would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of the Fist Of Rice Goa Chapter team which has worked tirelessly to build such a commendable network of donors in so short a time.

Cheers guys !!!
