Looking for HOPE

                         Kids from the Slum

                       A Family from the slum

A recent survey in Rajiv Gandhi Kachi Basti Govt. Middle School, Jodhpur. The school is located about  12  kms  from  Jodhpur railway station and is in the midst of a slum of over  5000 people, mostly rag pickers.

The school has a  total  of  321  children  (187  boys and 134 girls). The school has offered to provide us with a room for computer training.  It could also be used for outside youth for vocational training. This would actually make a huge impact in their  lives. Most of them are guards, helpers or work as servants in people’s houses.  Computer training would give them a great opportunity to improve not just their skills but also their lives. It’s a chance to encourage drop outs from the school to build an interest in going back to school rather than picking up rags and garbage. In principle we have found a donor, who will establish the computer lab, however, we are seeking for donor who could fund the running cost. If you know of some friends who would be interested in sponsoring such noble  cause,  kindly  forward our blog information to them. It takes Rupees fifty a child per month to run this program.
