Is there really help around?

During the last one month, I have come across various activities for kids.
There were contests open to all, including kids!
A few projects on the city by school children.
An inter-school bhajan competition.
A coins, stamps, maps exhibition in the city.
A heritage walk exclusively for kids in a temple area guided by architects, arts persons and many more.

Some curious kids look for such events, through newspapers and web sites.
Some parents and grand parents are interested in getting their wards into such activities.
But what about others?
Do we pass on information to our friends?

I used to share such information through a notice board at the entrance of the staircase in our apartment complex in Mumbai, where we used to live till very recently.
Our friendly Chennai can also come up with such ideas. If you do not live in a big complex or you live in an independant house, how will you share?
Perhaps phone up your friend, email, share it through orkut (!) or have some common place to meet and discuss.

Give me more ideas... I really want to get the kids of Chennai together in all activities.
By this, the idle time after the school homework spent in front of TV, watching all serials with the elders in the family and learning unwanted manners and cultures will be reduced.

What do you say?
