Had the first ODC (OnDemand Community - a CSR initiative of IBM) meeting yesterday... a group of 7, including me.... too few i think but we are just getting started....
'Blind and the Blues' is the name of the project which we are working on wherein we will be working with a group of visually-impaired people and imparting technical and soft-skill training to them... Interacting with the blind seems a little daunting to me and hence I have opted to work in the background, atleast in the beginning.... as a result, I am the SPOC(Single-Point-Of-Contact) for this project in IBM Pune :)
We will initially be interacting with the students to make a judgement regarding their abilities and then grouping them accordingly.... also communication with the principal and the instructors will be followed up to design a course for the students.... This intiative will also get its first taste of recognition when an article related to the project will be put up in the monthly IBM India newsletter....
The idea of working in a team, in an organised fashion for a good cause is just great!! i hope to learn a lot from this experience....
