“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.
I am blessed to be a Helping Brainz. #blessed2bahelpingbrain
