Since 2018, Swami Shivatmanada and Mr. Ramkrishna Prakash has been travelling from Austin every Saturday to teach the children, ages 5 to 15, the Hinduism and knowledge from the Vedas. They used the specially developed books by grade appropriate to the age and understanding of the children. A lot of time was devoted to train the teachers and spread the word about Chinmaya Mission San Antonio. This effort continued during 2019 and will do so for the foreseeable future. Swamiji spent a lot of time on delivering discourses to the parents of the children. Thus, the main activity of CMSA centered around education of Bal Vihar children and discourses for their parents. As the donated premises are very old, a major effort is underway to construct, renovate, and upgrade the, We are working with the architect, civil, electrical and undergriund utility engineers, Bexar County fire Marshal's office, consultants and contractors. This is where the money is being utilized. We are expecting the construction and renovation activities to be completed by May 2020.
