We called to prisoners for conducting drama. The prisoners supported us to promote education to the HIV infected children. They also gave financial support to the organizer. Before going to organize an event we discussed with the gaddankeri, gaddankeri Tanda, Seemikeri, Tulasigeri, Gaddankeri crass and Bagalokot citizens.

Every day we have faced so many problems and also we have taken all problems as a challenging, at end of the every day, we discussed with the all  groups. At  discussion, we gave opportunity for share their learning , what are the challenges they faced, how much fund they collected and how was the co-ordination with group and we gave feedback to all the groups for how  to approach to the funders and how to take all negative thoughts as a positive thoughts.

 For raising fund we have selected cause to promote education and basic needs of HIV infected children. Because Bagalkot district has so many HIV people. Children’s has got HIV infect from their parents. Who has got HIV infect, they were not getting education and basic needs. Therefore, we selected this cause for giving education support to them.
