Rural Educational Counselling – Madanpur Khadar JJ Colony
“Every child got the right to go to school, and India produces the best technologists and management professionals of world”.
So, why we are facing a strong gap in the field of elementary education and educational counselling, or guiding our near ones towards the right path,why there isn’t a strong urge in the parents to send their children to a field which they are interested in.
For answering these questions, to motivate the children to think and propagate and to encourage them to right the write, Helping Brainz in association with HCLT Foundations conducted a Rural educational counselling for more than 50 kids in the rural town of Madanpur Khadar, a city located in the outskirts of Delhi. Around 50+ children aged between 15 to 18 attended the counselling session. This is the second time Helping Brainz is conducting an event in a span of two months in the village of Madanpur Khadar.
Learning through experiences, motivation towards education, educational counselling, educational system in India, what and where after 12th/10th, course details, vocational education, training and education through ITIs, vocational study centres, universities, colleges (government, public, private and deemed), government examinations, civil services where some of the major topics covered.
From Helping Brainz we had our Rural Educational Counselling expert Somi Shukla(Project Head, Rural Educational Counselling – Helping Brainz), the Event Manager, Pratik Raj Bishen (Project Leader, WSEC, Helping Brainz), our motion capturer Kumar Madhuraj (Project Leader, CCRIDI, Helping Brainz), Neeraj Shukla (Project Manager, WSEC, Helping Brainz), Gitanshu Khurana (Project Leader, CCRIDI, Helping Brainz) and Yedhu.

Ujjwal – A Day with Chotus at UnnatiKiRah, Pochanpur, Dwarka
“If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” – Gandhiji
Though we have touched more than 5000+ little hearts unofficially in our 32 months career (137 Saturdays of Community Service) , 4/18/2015 witnessed the most significant one when Team Helping Brainz in association with UnnatiKiRah ( A Dwarka, Delhi based NGO ) touched around 100 little hearts from the slums of Pochanpur Village, Dwarka, Sector 23. The kids and their parents make their livelihood by picking rags. Though kids study in the government schools (or in the MCD Schools) in the nearby areas, they spent time on rag picking, segregating the same etc.
HelpingBrainz.Org in association with UnnatiKiRah conducted “Ujjwal- A Day with Chotus” which included:-
– Paint Your Dreams, painting competition;
– Recitations and dances by the little ones ;
– Distribution of School Stationary Items (A Notebook, Pencil, Sharpener, Eraser and Crayons each);
– One time meal programme;
– Health Awareness talks by BHB Team, Apollo Hospital.
What hence:-
– After 21 days we would be conducting the prize distribution programme,
– On the 45th day we would be launching the classroom network named ‘TeachWithHelpingBrainz’ programme,
– Renting a school which would be acting as post-school shelter for the children.
We at HelpingBrainz are blessed with a team of volunteers and Helping Brains who are best when it comes to imparting affection and healing. The programme was orchestrated by Ravi Prakash ( Thë) (Project Leader, CEP-HelpingBrainz.Org), Supported by Pankaj Jha, Shubhangi Srivastava, Kumar Madhuraj (our motion capturer), Ragini Singh, Pratik Raj Bishen, Gitanshu Khurana ( all Project Leaders, Helping Brainz ).
We are really thankful to the entire UnnatiKiRah crew including the founding member Stella Ma’am who helped us in reaching out to the kids. We also take this opportunity to acknowledge the sincere efforts by Garima Kohli and Shubhangi Singhal (from BHB Team) who helped us in conducting the health-awareness sessions, Swati Saini, Ashish Adlakha and Shally Arora – the event sponsors, Sanjay Deb Sir – who even in his busy schedule made some time and paid a visit and helped us by being one among us, Ruchir Sajwan and Nikita from Ameriprise Financials, Gurgaon who volunteered to their best.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”- W.B. Yeats
Helping Brainz in it’s process to enlighten the world touched milestones by marking the 100th hour of weekend social work and covering 350+ students in one-go.
Helping Brainz on Saturday 18th October landed in the slum area of Nithari Village, Noida Sec 31 – which is still in the phase of development and conducted
– Paint Your Dreams for 350+ Children in 2 batches
– Food donation drive
– Free health check up camp with the help of IndusGulf Hospitals
– Donated School Stationeries to All the 350+ children
The children were from rural backgrounds, with their parents being daily wage workers .
We requested the children to maintain their surroundings, their school, their home and themselves clean. – this was the first message we delivered to the young crowd gathered.
I was motivated with the silence and humbleness they maintained to listen to our wordings, which surprised all the present teaching staff over there.
Hereafter, Helping Brainz would be working for the development of the children by facilitating more events, teaching programmes, devising activity based learning programmes, training the teachers programmes.
My sincere thanks to

– Poonam Ma’am and the entire teaching staff for coordinating with us,
– Ravi Bhargav, Doctors and the team from IndusGulf Hospitals, -all the Helping Brainz Social Development Consultants (Ashim Sir,Preeja Nair, Mahima Sahney, Neeraj Shukla, Himani Chauhan, Abhilasha Chaudhary and Sujata Kapoor),
