Dear All,
Kishore (name changed) holding a long rod in one hand and a silencer between his legs is fully focused in removing the dirt and cleaning the silencer. When asked “What is your name?” He looks up, stares for a couple of seconds, then without saying a word bends his head down and continues to clean the silencer.
Kishore is a fifth standard drop-out from Whitefield area and comes with his dad to work at an automobile shop in Shivajinagar. He is one of the eight kids whom we identified during our survey at Shivajinagar on last Saturday. These kids are either irregular to schools or are dropped out from school. They hence spend most of the time playing on streets or working in sheds/shops.
We at Aashayein Foundation invite you to join us in this unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of these kids. Coming weekend we will be continuing with the survey to identify more of such kids, if any, and encourage them to go to schools. Also, coming Sunday we would be serving breakfast at a Construction site in Central zone. Please join us in making a difference this weekend. More details mentioned below:
Announcements for this week:
See you all this weekend! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Survey for identifying kids who are not going to school: Today in Bangalore alone, there are about 8000 kids who are either working in some mechanic shop or serving food to you at a hotel or washing dishes at home. And each year many more are sent here from villages in the dream of earning more money in cities. Many of these kids don’t even have an opportunity to know what Education can offer them and neither do their parents know the benefits of the Education. If nothing is done about this, these kids will lose their creativity and continue to live with unfulfilled dreams. The kids will then grow up blaming their circumstances for their condition. At the same time, we have the privilege and opportunity to make a difference to these kids and their family. With speaking to them, supporting them and encouraging them to go to school. We believe it’s possible and coming Saturday, 13th March, 2010 we will continue with the survey of the kids who are not going to school in Shivajinagar and Jayanagar area. Please grab this opportunity to make a difference to these kids and send a mail to info@aashayeinfoundation.org or call Sunil at 9902107107 for survey in Shivajinagar and Ankur at 9019099636 for survey in Jayanagar. The survey starts at 10AM at both the places. Let’s get the kids to School and give them their dream! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
