“Ujjwal-let’s create wonders for them: A Day with Chotus” – at Madanpur Khadar

“I want to become India, because I love Hindustan”, this is what a seven year old mentioned; when he was asked what’s his ambition is! If anyone penetrates into the exact meaning of this one-liner by a seven year old Aslam from Madanpur Khadar, this may contain 100s of beautiful definitions, which may be a result of what Aslam saw from the day he came to his senses.

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 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.

Step-1 in empowering Nithari. Nithari we’re with you!

 

“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

-all kids for patiently cooperating with all of us,

– 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),

-The young dynamic event coordinator Ms.Abhilasha Chaudhary -Rajeev and Ali, for capturing the moments (Image Courtesy)

-Ajit Mahapatra, Vallabh Kollegal, Sonam Chopra, Renu Rawat, Nikhil and  Shailesh Singh for all their whole hearted Voluntarism,
