=== Me and the community ===
Q11. ''' If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.'''
Ans. This project support children creativity and imagination. These small games, development activity will surely help them to become problem solvers, innovators, and creative thinkers. These activities will also help the children to develop many important skills that boost a child's learning and success.

Q12. ''' Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?'''
Ans. That would be a great idea to go with. I've been working in NGO for primary children education called "ASHA-KIRAN" in our college and it would a great learning experience for them. Here, in hyderabad, We have a language problem, they don't understand hindi, my mother tongue, and I don't understand, telgu ( local language ). So, I always use different activities to teach them like sound creation, drawing, Word dictionary, some local plays etc. I believe in case of language problems like India, We should teach the children as:
a) Alphabet creation, as a drawing practice
b) Sound, give alphabets some sound, try to echo them loudly, may be in funnier way.
c) Try to associate meaning to words, here imagination comes into play. I use some stories behind words, or pictures
d) Last, use them in sentence.
I can associate these features in my project and sugar lab can help us to provide technical equipments to teach children. We already have a good infrastructure in campus, so I will start using my project even in development stage with them and report the status to sugar community.
Q13. ''' What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''
Ans. I have been working on open source projects for quite a long time and I know, we always get stuck with some problem may be installation, compiling, syntax error, many more but I guess this is where the interesting part begins and open source community comes into play. In my views, we always learn new things about the error/software if we ask doubts in community. So, if I ever get stuck on the project, I will raise my doubts in mailing lists, ask clearifications in irc chat, write in blog or on some related community sites where I can get any assistant from.
Other assistant I am sure to get it from my seniors, they all have been participating in GSOC from past years and would love to assist me if need occurs.
Q14. ''' How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?'''
Ans. I love interactive with people and I will keep community members duly informed. I can try following things to work this out
a) Chatting on IRC chat
b) Mailing lists
c) tracking specific person or related to the area personally via email.
d) Posting queries on blog
