It all started towards the beginning of 2006. A couple of people together with CRY's support started a Community Action Group
near a Harijan Basti [it's popularly known by this name but its official name is Ambedkar Vihar (AV) ]. The aim is to make
the middle and upper class people living around this area aware of the conditions of these underprivileged section and turn
them into volunteers working for their upliftment. The ultimate goal is to develop this into a self-sustained system which
would not collapse if volunteers move to different projects. Vidya n Child was already working in that area looking into the
education and overall development of the children so we were more than happy to merge with them.
I teach kids ranging from 1st standard to 12th standard on the weekends. Generally the subjects vary from Science and Maths.
I really enjoy spending time with the kids.
I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.....
