Initially emphasizing on basic teaching and organizing classes with student volunteers and later for that end getting the children admitted into nearby municipal schools, we realized that education is much more than textbooks and rote learning. Like any other child, these kids too were filled with immense potential which needed careful channeling and nurturing. With this intent, we began to diversify our activities. If amongst us, someone was good at crafts or painting or music or dance, we started teaching the kids the same. Theatre workshops, movie screenings and taking the children on recreational trips around the city became a part of our schedule. And the kids grew and we along with them. Another area of work has been our vaccination drive. Being migrant workers on the move and no access to basic health facilities, almost all the children were without immunization against life threatening diseases. And we found a partner in Dr. Priyadarshini with whose help we were able to do some significant work in this field. Recently we found another support in Dr. Rewa who volunteered her services for the dental check up of the children. This and much more…such has been our journey so far.
