Jamghat Night Walk into the life of street children around JAMA MASJID and OLD DELHI AREA , 5th March 2010

The streets of Delhi are homes to lots of children. These children are
forced to live in harsh health-impeding conditions. You can help raise
awareness and bring Delhi a step closer to eradicating this issue by
working with or aiding Jamghat. Jamghat is a Delhi based NGO working
towards rehabilitation of street children into the mainstream. Founded
in 2003 we have a shelter housing 15 children, where we have
rehabilitated around 50 children by now. A day care facility is also
running for the children living in old Delhi area. It offers the
children a chance to use sanitized washroom facilities, basic
education, vocational training, weekly checkups from a doctor, and a
chance to play. Jamghat uses the street and stage theatre as a medium
to build self confidence in their children and also build awareness in
the society on key social issues related to the lives and stories of
children, especially street children.

Every month Jamghat organizes a walk into the life of street children
around JAMA MASJID and OLD DELHI AREA. The aim of the project is to
generate awareness about street children living in Delhi and to help
them in living a life of their choice in a healthy way. The program is
undertaken during the night when most of the people finish off their
days work and recede back to their secure homes and these children are
left alone on the streets to battle through the evils of night. Their
night life offers them many difficulties rendered through their exposed
surrounding. It is then that their true nature of surviving in such a
non conducive environment is brought to life. We interact with them and
increase our awareness about them and their life. The main objective is
to understand the difficulty of being a street child.

We would like you to join us on this Night Walk on March 5, 2010, 8 pm
onwards at Golcha Cinema, Daryaganj.

Your participation in this walk will do a great deal in helping the
street children of Delhi. So please join on this evening and help
support an important cause.

Essential Points:

1) The group is not allowed to carry cameras

2) If a girl/ woman is a part of the group, she is requested to dress
in an India suit, or jeans with a full sleeved top. This is to ensure
safety.

3) It is prohibited to give money to any children seen on the streets.

4) Have dinner and come!

It would be really great if you could pass this message to your friends
and bring them along as well so that we can create awareness amongst
masses.

2. Under privileged school/college students who study well but are financially poor and have no one to support them.

3. Motivating young students and fellow Indians through various initiatives.

4. Teaching good morals and ethics to students through movie screening, puppet shows etc.

5. Career planning session for rural students.

6. Orphanages/old age home visits.

8-Day Academy

8-Day Academy is an initiative by Masarat Daud, a 26-year-old Indian girl who has lived in Dubai all her life. In February 2009, to escape the monotony and creativity demise of her high-flying job, she quit work to return to her village (Fatehpur Shekhavati) in Rajasthan, India t lead social change.

In February 2009, she trained 17 village school teachers in Computers. In a few months, these teachers had taught Computers to 100 students!

The 8-Day Academy makes literacy viral and in just eight days because rural communities cannot afford to wait for four years to finish a degree and THEN use the education. The 'bottom of the pyramid' are the people who will lead to major social change.

8-Day Academy also believes in the power of TED and Masarat is creating the first TEDx conference in India with a rural audience in January 19, 2010 (@TEDxShekhavati on Twitter)

In eight days, village school teachers learnt MS Word, Paint, basic Internet and the theory of Computers.
Location: Fatehpur Shekhavati, Rajasthan (India)





Amrita Choudhary is your average Rajasthani village woman but in reality, she's far from it. Her courage makes her stand out. Forced into child marriage, she has stood against her in-laws to defend her rights--including a standoff with a Police official late night who was sent by her enemies to harass her. She has started her organisation in Rajasthan (India) to give voice to women and children who face oppression




Mohd. Nazmuddin, a graduate of 8-Day Academy talks about how the last year of 8DA has changed his life. He also speaks what the first TEDx in Rajasthan (TEDxShekhavati) did for him.

Volunteer at Angels Primary School & Ashram Malad

Today, some 65 children, most orphans, ranging in age from one to sixteen, look up to Joanna as their very own Mother.


# Spare some of your precious time to teach the children. This does not mean you have be a qualified teacher. The little children have yet so much to learn. Qualified teachers, including those retired, will of course be able to make a tremendous contribution to the educational needs of the older children. Just a few hours of your time, even if only at the weekends or whenever you have the time, will be much appreciated.

# Your old clothes could be the finery our children wear.

# Even a one-eyed teddy bear could mean hours of fun and bring a smile on their faces.

# Foodstuff, particularly dry provision (grains, pulses) & preserves (pickels, jams), are easy to store... We have only two domestic refrigerators.

# Bed linen, towels and toiletries (soaps, talcum powder, washing soaps) would help them live a healthy life.

# Your love and affection... show these children you care by spending some time with them.

Concern India Foundation Offices in India

For an NGO, the most valuable asset is its commitment to a cause. What it often lacks are funds and professional expertise. With neither of these, NGOs are severely crippled in carrying on their core activities i.e. providing education, health facilities, vocational training and shelter to the needy. Concern India Foundation's primary activity is to provide them with this essential support.


Concern India Foundation supports grassroots level NGOs according to specific criteria:

* Work towards empowerment of the individual.
* Work towards the development of the community.
* Has clear objectives and short and long-term development plans.
* Employs innovative approaches to problem-solving.
* Has potential for sustained growth and expansion.

Youth for Change - the Parivartan Internship Program

Parivartan Foundation for Socio Economic Development click here for more info

YOUTH FOR CHANGE PARIVARTAN FOUNDATION FOR SOCIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
What Parivartan Does
The Parivartan Foundation for Socio Economic Development is a non-profit organization working in the developmental sector in India. It strives to make a sustainable difference in society by encouraging inclusive growth in community development and welfare programs. It is the brainchild of youth who dare to make a change as they dream of it.
“Be the change you want to see in the world” - Mahatma Gandhi
With these immortal words of Gandhi. Parivartan was conceptualised by a group of students who shared a common passion; that of inclusive growth. With sustainability and inclusive growth as the twin pillars of support, the Parivartan Foundation aims at grass root development using solutions which are both market based and sustainable. Our mission is “to be a partner of the people in empowering them through resources, technology and information”. Our unique work structure is complemented by the community mobilization and immersion programs which have been imperative in our rapid success in less than a year of inception. We have won the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Program Social Entrepreneurship Fund and many other such grants from individual and corporate donors. Our success stories and felicitations can be seen at our Flickr Page and Website!
The Internship Program (Youth for Change)
The Parivartan Internship Program, as the name suggests envisions the bridging of gap between youth and young professionals who feel the need to “give back to society” in whatever capacity they desire and the backward societies which need them. This program intends to create a network of change makers who share a passion for community development initiatives using market based and entrepreneurial solutions at the grass root level. We at Parivartan Foundation aim to engage such like-minded individuals from their respective sectors in a cohesive approach to develop sustainable solutions. By getting experts from their sectors, we believe to create an inclusive growth model which is both scalable and replicable. In this regard, we aim to map the immense human resource potential in different sectors to the projects and initiatives of Parivartan Foundation.
Parivartan Foundation for Socio Economic Development Page 2
Where We Currently Work
Parivartan started its operations in the Lanka Villages in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh. These set of 9 villages are residence to nearly 30,000 people with the primary occupation as agriculture. Nearly 70 kms from the city of Vijayawada and set in the Krishna river basin, these villages form small islands in delta region thereby giving the name “Lanka”. The Parivartan Foundation has worked 9 months in these villages and the current work happening there can be viewed at our website.
INTERNSHIP LOGISTICS
The On-Site interns shall be working in these villages. Housing and Food will be taken care of as expenses by Parivartan Foundation. However, we are not able to provide stipend or any monetary benefits at this stage. In any case, if you were interested in monetary benefits and a “corporate internship”, you would not be reading this document anyway. So read on and hopefully, you shall be as excited as we are about our work.
The benefits for On-site Interns include
* On ground experience with a Non Profit working in a rural region (Yes, that is experience worth having!)
* Community Mobilization and Immersion Experience
* Be a part of modelling and executing Innovative and Revolutionary Projects (Telemedicine and E-Commerce are some of programs!)
* Considerable Responsibility over work area (You are not a part of the big picture, YOU are the big picture!)
* Work with a completely diverse youth team (Yes, we love to gain experience first hand!)
* Housing and Food (We know you will not read beyond if we don’t provide you that and just in case you would have, well, here are some freebies!)
The benefits for Off-Site interns include
* Research on innovative initiatives like E-Commerce, E-Governance
* Get experience whatever role you think is right for you and see it make an impact to thousands of rural folk
* Develop new market based methods to solve Rural India’s most pressing needs with a passionate team
* Use your work with us to leverage yourself in the Social Media Sector (And we won’t be too far behind in reciprocating too!)
* Work whenever and wherever (Just respond to deadlines!)
Individual role benefits have been mentioned in the profiles. We have spaces which may open up soon in our core team too. Fantastic work as an intern might just get you an offer from us!
And just in case you thought we don’t provide a certificate for your hard work, we do. A nice, shiny one in fact. Maybe one of the media and design interns can design it for us!
