Meeting Kanasu kids

This post is by AC, a techie who has spent a lot of time and effort in helping Kanasu.
-------------------------------

Meeting the kids (if I can call them kids) changes the perspective completely. It should be compulsory for everyone involved with Kanasu. These kids have a very daunting task ahead. Often coming from structured education we will not comprehend this.

There is a struggle to identify the future for each and every one of them. I mean not knowing what may be the right path for them to take. Given that Kanasu often has to assume this, there needs to be some way we can support Veena to give her confidence that she is making the right decision.

Having a network of people who will actively make introductions for them to get employment can be very helpful. Especially since all of them found jobs through someone's referral. The traditional application route might not be work here. I can't emphasize enough on the level mismatch of the education being
imparted. The students will need some regular guidance/coaching.

I am also convinced that they should be meeting each other and feeding off each other's successes. More money being spent on a few might help solve a lot of above problems.
