THE FUTURE GROUP - SECOND GENERATION

The work of SKCV should never end. The founders have ensured this by training and putting in place a group of older and now married young people who have grown up with SKCV and have shown enthusiasm to be the future managers.

Over the years, many hundreds of children have been through the SKCV CHILD System of strengthening, and are now well situated in work and career, are married and have their own children.

There has emerged a group of the older students who, upon personal reflection, find themselves much happier and enthusiastic to stay with SKCV as leading managers, carrying on and fortifying the process, thus helping more and more children in need into the Millennium. This group was the concept of M.Sudhama and Krishna Prasad. They is 28 years of age and Married with their own children now.

At present, there are twelve members of the Future Group. All of them are Department heads. They are now aged between 24yrs and 28 yrs of age. They meet each Saturday at 2.30pm  to discuss matters of management of SKCV and to deal collectively with day to day problems. They are highly respected by the younger children. They are able to offer a kind word, an understanding mood and excellent counselling in times of need.

Having been through years of street life themselves, they are fully aware of the problems and traumas the younger children are facing. They go out on sorties together meeting children on the streets.

All but two of the Future Group are already married, and have their own children. Their wives are also working with SKCV in staff positions. All the Members live in SKCV Centres and are on 24 hr call. Each one of the Members of the Second Generation are trained personally in management by Mr.Manihara and his wife.

They are taught to manage with equanimity and calm. Decisions are reached after discussion and vote. They are now studying various methods of management from around the world going back to the fifteenth century, but are able to merge in newer ideas also.
