Children's Day 2011

childrens day 2011On the 12th of November 2011. members of The Family India in New Delhi organized a Children’s Day event for 1000 underprivileged children from all over the city. These included children who live in slums, children from broken homes, children of women prison inmates and also visually handicapped children. The kids had a great time at this event. They watched a fun magic show, had a delicious lunch, went on rides and played games organized by volunteers who included school students and company workers. The children danced and sang on stage and before leaving each child received a brand new schoolbag packed with goodies like Amar Chitra Kathas, socks, woollen caps, colour pencils, Maggi noodles and Frootis. Our heartfelt thanks to all who made this beautiful day possible!

New School, New Beginnings

mamta schoolIn September 2011, members of The Family India in Pune started Mamta K.G. School in Sade Satra Nalli, Thange Nagar, Hadapsar, Pune, to provide children living below the poverty line the opportunity to receive an an English medium education.

Says the founder, "It has been amazing to see how quickly the school has been established and how many children have joined. It has been even more heartening to see how many people have come forward to help this project. Kind people have generously donated furniture and books,  MBA grads volunteer their time to teach, and students help to paint. What we need is ongoing sponsorship of the running expenses of the school so that we can expand and reach out to more kids in the community."

The LEAP Project

Hand-Embrodiery-ladies-withThe Life-skills and Education Accelerated Program (LEAP) Centre is a training centre and haven for children, teenagers and ladies living in Roopena Agrahara, a low income slum area. Our vision is to help these children and ladies learn new skills to better the quality of their lives and their families. This centre is currently helping over 40 families to achieve this goal.

The LEAP Centre is currently being used in four focus areas:

1. Informal Education for 7-to-14 year olds
In January 2010, Informal Education classes started when it was discovered that children ages 7 to 15 years old from the surrounding slum area were not attending school. Now every afternoon from Monday to Saturday, eleven students attend two hours of informal schooling at the LEAP Centre.

2. Entrepreneurship Training - Hand Sewing and Embroidery

Daily training in sewing and embroidery at the LEAP Centre has provided an opportunity for 20 ladies to learn a trade. With this new skill the ladies can become entrepreneurs, producing and marketing unique hand-made products such as bags, cushions and other furnishings. The classes have been conducted in collaboration with Munch Design, and concerned individuals have come forward to assist these women in selling their creations.

3. Spoken English

Classes for Spoken English have been started with the children and ladies. We are also in the process of developing audio and visual materials to aid in these classes.

4. Ladies Education and Support Group

Every Friday afternoon the LEAP Centre hosts a support group for women who mostly work as cleaning ladies in nearby flats and houses. Topics such as health and hygiene, cleanliness, childcare and training, and nutrition are covered each week by different counselors. On average, 50 ladies attend these weekly sessions and they greatly appreciate the training and guidance.
