2007 - 2008
Indian organization HELP Trust started the Evening School in Koliyankulam in the fall of 2007 and in several months they had 42 students in the program. It was not easy to achieve this level of attendance, but after continuous propagation most of the guardians became interested in educating their children. They showed their support by actively participating in the parents' meetings. Visits to people's houses showed that they were happy with what we are doing. Community involvement is critical to the success of our project. We now start to see this involvement increase and the positive impact it has on the project. Kids like the activity-based training, games and life skills teaching at the school. The school tries to further develop our curriculum to expand on the possibilities available with this type of education. Kids understand the importance of education and can see its lasting and positive impact through roll play and other experiential learning activities.

2009
The primary motto of the HELP evening schools is to mainstream 42 children by providing them an employment oriented skills to make them stand on their own. In doing that, the first step is to provide them basic education up to 10th or 12th standard. 42 children of Evening school are being provided basic education successfully and they all attend their schooling as usual.
Skill Training
At a first of imparting computer & keyboard training, we had started keyboard training to these kids about 7 months back. Every weekend all these children are getting keyboarding, fingering, speed training in computer keyboard. As we rightly aimed, these children have learned proper keyboarding, typing methods and certain amount of speed even before they sit in front of the computer. At a second step, through the Support of the 3 Computers which are donated by TCS, we have started the Computer Training to these children. We have started this training 3 months back for the children who are adopted by evening school. In the first month most of the children were taught with switching on and switching off the computers and basic operating methods. More...

This year we branch out and launched a compassion campaign Fulfill a wish (FFAW) under the umbrella of Help trust. FFAW seeks to actualize the wishes of children and inspire people to indulge in providing happiness through act of giving. Since the wishes enlisted are of children with restricted access to resources, FFAW also caters as an avenue to instill confidence in them and encourage them towards a bright future.

- March - Launch of Fulfill a wish
- May - children touch the sky
- June - Sarvanan on his way to success
- July - launch of another Evening school
