Like every year we had a set of targets to achieve to reach our goal. It involved projects, programs, decisions, individual as well as group performance strengthening our belief to set standards. The entire process has to flow in from the place of origin - the field office. It was extremely important for us to set up and implement operations through a new Field Office this year. The new Field office thus became functional in April 2004.

It's been a universal dream to transform the world around us to a promising computer literate zone. Special efforts have been given towards making this delightfully possible through our very own Computer Literacy Program in April 04.

In order to unfold our philosophy it is necessary to run a perfect model school project, setting trends towards ideal and eventful operations. To carve out the same path for all, the Model School took off in April 2004

For adolescents, life can have a different yet beautiful meaning where "skills" is the name of the game. Potential talents would always excel if given a direction in life aided by their skill set. Education support on the other hand would strengthen their background to give a full shape to the designated career. This time with 40 dropouts, we have been providing them training on skill through the vocational training institutions and education through open school system. We have undertaken a project, hand in hand with GOAL.

To take our in-house vocational training center and production unit to new heights, we have formed a new set up for TF's very own Card Project cell. Besides training on the process intricacies - techniques, exchanges of design idea, innovative treatments are encouraged along with archiving and laying tracks on a regular basis. We have also introduced Trade Based education classes for the students undergoing vocational training.

Regular and periodic healthcare has always been on absolute priority for the children at TF. This time we have introduced weekly health clinic for all community children. This program took off in October 2004. Special emphasis is laid on sensitivities in relation to eye and dental care along with general check-up. Every week we cover a minimum of 50 children.

The year 2004 had credible academic achievements. Six students from the formal school and five students studying under the open school system have passed out the Secondary examination. Munmun today has a First Division to her credit, a reason for all of us at TF to be proud of from the core of our heart.

This time three students have passed through the Higher Secondary Examination. Samir Bayan, a Higher Secondary pass out got a job at CITY CENTRE in July- 2004.

Knowledge is wisdom and indeed so was the realization for the three students who have taken up college level course after passing Higher Secondary Examinaion.

It's the teacher who shows light and with that motto and definite interest, two students have joined the Teachers Training Program.

Two students have been assigned the position of assistant Teacher in our Model School. We have also initiated Higher Secondary through Open School system this year

Besides the 40 students under goal project there are 10 more adolescent candidates who are directly supported by us. All of them undergo vocational training and get educational support.

Among them seven boys and one girl have procured driving license. Interestingly, they foresee life as a long drive to run through with a smile on their face.

Life is indeed beautiful for the three girls who got their Certificate qualifying through the beautician course.

It is extremely important for the co-coordinators at TF to remain constantly updated on their own set of expertise. Representatives from TF periodically join various Training Programs, workshops, seminars, exhibitions organized by various NGOs / City Level NGOs net work / Social Studies Institute. We have been a part of the Weekly community awareness program on collaboration with NGOs network team.

In July 2004, we have been entrusted upon to coordinate AIDE UNIVERSITY summer project. It was very dearly organized and was an absolute success. We have also been a part of the Hygiene project with them, the following month.

It's been a pleasure to have the representative from Calcutta -de-la visiting TF.

Individual sponsorship is an exclusive affair. It requires concerted effort to persuade and convincingly justify the vision. This time we have been successful to achieve the same for three of our students.

TF had always been tremendously supportive towards the sports enthusiasts. It enables maintaining a perfect balance between the mind and body. Subrata Debnath - a Kick Boxer on the 56 KG category has won the first position at the National Level.

Yoga is as essential as nutrition at TF. The National Level Yoga championship has two achievers - Rajkumar on the 3rd Position and Sangeeta on the 10th. Rajkumar eventually got through to the special Yoga course admission this year.

For the intra-city co-curricular activities, the Drama Team was not far behind. It's on the 4th Position. Our primary level children took part in Painting competition within the city.

The amazing world of science appeared bright and exciting to the Students from class VIII and IX, on joining the All Bengal Science Exhibition organized by Birla Industrial and Technological Museum.

Ronan was here. Foot Ball Day was a very special and involving event to us as with the Help of Ronan - an Irish footballer, the students had a whale of a time.

Activities at TF are always as dynamic as our operations. Across all the cells we have organized 34 parents teachers meetings, five cultural programs, two Cinema shows and four picnics. The AIDE university students were as much involved in the picnic as the cultural exchange program that we have had the pleasure of having with them.

We could successfully put few "high risk- vulnerable" children in residential schools, in primary as well as the secondary level. Providing mental health support to the children in need was indeed a priority involvement. Purnima, Mamoni Sarkar and Shankar Ghosh are the three candidates who had major operation.

We had two major get-togethers this time. The first one was during the Saraswati Puja, devoted to the goddess of knowledge and wisdom on the auspicious occasion. The next one was on 1st of August 2004, inaugurating the New Building for our Half Way Home. We had a Christmas celebration at TF and the Punjabi Samity hosted one.

Invitations were flying all over to attain workshops, programs, seminars, and training for the staff members as well as the students. We have also received few students from the various Social Studies Institutes as placement students. We have had a one-day special counseling workshop with Urmi Chakravarti.
