You can help missing children reunite with their families!

 

Have you wondered what causes young kids to hang around at railway stations? There are many children across India who run away from home for trivial reasons. Some children are abandoned by their guardians and some kids go missing mysteriously. These children feel totally helpless when they come face to face with the overwhelming railway network. This Tuesday let your random act of kindness could be to reunite these children with their families.

Bhibhu (age 14) ran away from home after his parents got into a fight and sought help from a friend who promised to help find his mother. His friend abandoned him halfway. Alone and scared, he was found at the Ghaziabad railway station by the team of Railway Children India, a GuideStar India Transparency Key certified NGO.

He was taken to a shelter home for safekeeping but, poor Bhibhu completely scared out of his wits with this terrifying ordeal couldn't even speak to anyone. Not even the very people who were trying to help him. With Bhibhu unable to communicate it was impossible to locate his family.

But the team at Railway Children India was undeterred. Through repeated counselling sessions with a speech therapist, Bhibhu was slowly and surely getting his confidence back! He was finally able to speak, exercise his facial muscles, and show emotions and give some details about the whereabouts of his family!

After 6 long and lonely months, Bhibhu finally spoke to his overjoyed parents who got back their son! But they still remain to be together because of lockdown restrictions and COVID-19.

Bhibhu was fortunate to have landed in the arms of Railway Children India and not the many evils and pitfalls that await unfortunate children who fall into the black hole of the railways' network. Beggar mafia, drugs, pickpocketing, and thieving, and many other such lives are ready to grab these vulnerable children.

Your small donation can help Railway Children India to seek out countless Bhibhus who find their way into the pitfalls of the harsh life on the tracks and stations of the vast railway network in India. Say #MaineDiya and help children like Bhibhu make their way to the safety of their families.

Spread kindness among the less fortunate and put a smile on their faces!

 

This week Rohit Thukral reminisces with us about his #MyGivingStory as a young child during Diwali.

 

Rohit firmly believes that happiness lies in helping the people around us and not in the pursuit of money. He is deeply saddened in the misconception that many people hold - more money equals more happiness. He hopes that his story can help spark something in all of us to be a little more compassionate and spread kindness.

 

Rohit was a young 16-year-old boy enjoying the sights and sounds of Diwali - the festival of light. While he did see the light in children bursting crackers and adults having their own fun he also saw the oft-overlooked darkness - street dogs scared by the loud sounds of the crackers and the less fortunate people on the streets barely able to get a meal. This dichotomy of a festival that was supposed to bring joy and happiness to everyone really touched him and sparked something in him.

 

Young Rohit, immediately ran back to his house and broke open his piggy bank in which he had been saving money for a long time. He used this money to buy some food for the needy outside his house and the dogs. He went and fed them and spent time with them and learned of their troubles and lent them an ear. Young Rohit's act of generosity helped shape him as a human being. He was able to sympathize with the people around him, and that has stayed with him till today. We are really heartened by his selflessness and kindness towards not only his fellow humans but animals as well.

 

Rohit has an important message for all of us. Festivals, he says, are about spreading happiness. And no amount of bursting crackers (that only cause pollution) or buying new things will give you the satisfaction that helping people will. So go out and spread kindness among the less fortunate and put a smile on their faces!

 

Do a random act of kindness and create sparks of joy wherever you go!

He quizzed, “Ma'am will you charge?” When we said no, it was a free service, he replied promptly, “In that case, I will study in your school and I will return the favour by teaching you Bengali”. Indeed, he did end up teaching several of the team members basic Bengali.

Donate Rs 600 for Geetha to continue with her education.

 This Tuesday, donate Rs 600 for Geetha to continue with her education.

Geetha (name changed) looked longingly at her friend talking to her dad. Her heart saddened at the thought of her dad who died a few years back. Geetha's father was an electrician. He died of electric shock when he was working. The sudden demise shattered the family.

Geetha's mother was a housewife and the family was happy and content meeting their basic requirements when the father was alive. After his death, her mother had to search for a job. She is not much educated. Hence she started working as a creche caretaker. She gets INR 3000 per month. With this income, she has to feed her 2 children and herself.

Geetha joined New Life's coaching class in the 6th standard. Now she is in the 8th standard. She loves Science. She scored 78% of marks. Her aim is to become a teacher.

With the limited income, it is difficult for her mother to send her for higher studies. New Life, a GuideStar India certified NGO, wants to see this poor family come out of their plight by fulfilling Geetha's dream of becoming a teacher. She is being supported to study through their coaching class.

New Life conducts coaching classes after school hours in slums to help those poor kids who can not be guided by their parents. A teacher helps them to do their homework, study and clear their doubts in lessons. The children are taken on an exposure visit once in a year. Skilled children are motivated to participate in talent programs. They are also given awareness on various topics like child sexual abuse, evils of child labour, various health aspects, etc. New Life also supports very poor children to continue their education. Geetha gets support from New Life by way of learning materials, dresses, etc.

Do your bit for Geetha and children like her. Donate Rs.600 to make a difference!
