Plan, Do, Check & Act, You'll have blessings of Dr. Demming and you'll succeed...

Deming wheel, the ride to success for any project using QC tools. We used Deming wheel for the whole project life-cycle.
First Planning, then Doing, then Checking and then Acting and continue doing so till you succeed.

Choosing a problem, democratic way!

We brainstormed to see what project we could take up. Everyone came up with some suggestions, we consolidated the list as follows:

1. Service project at local orphanage to improve their living condition.
2. Creating awareness about Child labor.
3. Creating awareness about female feticide and infanticide.
4. Service Project with Atma-Jyoti – Home for Blind Girls.
5. Donate cloths and books to Amar Jyoti - school for differently gifted students.
6. Creating awareness about Global warming.
7. Campaign to save water.
8. Adapting a school in poor neighborhood to improve their classrooms.
9. Service project with “Project Roshni – for people with cerebral palsy”
10. Campaign for safe roads.

    We wanted to involve differently gifted students of our own age in this project, so we shortlisted:

1. Atma Jyoti – home for blind girls


2. Amar Jyoti – school for differently gifted students

3. Project Roshni – center for people with cerebral palsy.

We then visited all these three places and did some activities with them, as you can see the photos above to find out which place will be our final choice. This is when we experienced that each individual has special gifts, we need to find that something special in eavery one.

After visiting all three places, it was difficult to choose one, but the girls at Atma Jyoti made very good impression on us with their zeal to learn new things and eagerness to improve their skills. So we chose Atma Jyoti unanimously.We involved our new friends at Atma Jyoti in consultation to see what is the best thing we can do together to help them realize their own potential. Most of them think that studying is very important to realize their own talent and live a respectful life. Through education we can sharpen our inherent capacities and realize our true potential. We also realized that they face few problems in studies, which we don’t face because we can see. We want our improve the quality of their studies, so we took up that as our main problem in the project.

“PROBLEMS FACED BY VISUALLY CHALLENGED IN STUDYING!”

remove 20% main causes and you'll remove 80% problems...

Thank you Mr. Pareto for giving us the powerful 'Pareto Analysis'.

We put the data from matrix in the Pareto Analysis and got this graph, showing that if we work on 2 main causes we will remove almost all the troubles.

So we get to work now.

Thank you Mr. Pareto!

putting the survey information in matrix

We spoke to our visually challenged friends about the problems they face in studies and we consolidated their feedbacks in a matrix. This was done by asking few questions orally and recording their replies. we interviewed 30 girls and then consolidated the feedback in the matrix above. We'll apply Pareto analysis to it to see what are the vital causes.

What we plan is important, what we do is vital...

This is our GANTT chart, we planned our project using this and marked our achievements as we went along. You can see the planning was done in blue and green shows what we finished.

Sometimes our actions differe from planning, so that we can achieve the goal. Gantt chart was like the roadmap with milestones on it, we went in the right direction using it.

Some technical information about our project:

-Team leaders Mansi & Aditi

When we started the ICT Seagulls project, we were not very sure what we (a group of high school students) can do to help others.

Then we started using some QC tools, and under loving guidance of our facilitators and mentor we realized everyone has lot of potential, if we can use right channel and work together we can do wonders beyond our imagination.First step we visited the “Atma Jyoti- Home for Blind Girls”. We spoke to them and found out about their likes, dislikes and aspirations. Then we did some brainstorming to get all our ideas together. Then we did survey among the visually challenged girls to find out what challenges they face. We spoke to 30 girls and put their feedbacks in a matrix. Then we applied Pareto Analysis to the collected data and found out that if we work on few vital problems, most of their difficulties in studies will be solved.Then we used fishbone diagram to do Why-Why analysis of problems to find out root causes of the problems.We then thought of some strategies and tried them. Suddenly they needed writers for exams, so even it was not priority in our strategies we put everything aside and helped them write exams.Then we finished our exams and started promoting “Donate Vision” campaign to create awareness about eye donation.

Then came summer vacation, but before that we planned to raise funds to donate a Braille printer to our friends at “Atma Jyoti”.

The project is not yet closed, it is ongoing, our next step is getting the Braille printer and make sure that they get all subject notes in Braille. We will also make audio lessons for them, so they can listen to audio tapes at their own leisure. They will get their new books in August, so we will start that in August.

I shall never forget my friend who helped write my exam:

This is transcript of what some of the visually challenged girls said after getting their results for the exams. “I am very happy today, because of two reasons. First I have got a very good grade in my exams and I am promoted to next class. The other reason is much dearer to me, that is I got new friends who helped me write my examinations. I shall never forget my friends who helped me realize importance of helping others and selfless service.”

“I shall never forget my new friends who helped write my exams. I have got their phone numbers, so whenever I remember them, I will call them and talk to them, I enjoy talking to them.”

“I thank God for giving me such lovely friends, who helped us selflessly, coming and writing exams for us and celebrating our success. I pray to God that may all their dreams come true.”

Donate for a good cause, help them realize their vision!

Someone asked Swami Vivekananda once: “Is there anything worse than losing sight?” Swami Vivekananda replied: “Yes! Losing vision...”

Our students have been working with visually challenged girls of “Atma Jyoti – a Home for Blind Girls” and during their interaction we realized though these girls have no sight, they definitely have a vision for future. Each one of them wants to become useful member of society and contribute positively to society. Someone wants to become teacher, someone wants to be musician, and so on. Let us share their vision and help them turn their dreams into reality.

We are collecting funds to buy a Braille printer, which can be connected to computer for their use. The printer will cost approximately Rs. 200,000.00 (Two lakh rupees). To make it easier we are dividing the total sum in 200 units of Rs. 1000.00 (One thousand rupees) each. You may contribute more than one unit or more than one person/s may together contribute one unit. Your donations will be greatly appreciated.Please send your donations to “Little Angels School, Dal Bazaar, Gwalior”.
