3rd-International Cultural Congress for Peace, Aster Public School, Noida Extension
3rd – International Cultural Congress for PEACE (Aster Public School, Noida Extension) by HelpingBrainz.Org‘s Peace Team.
Majority of the Organizations who work for “peace”, only use this word for their TRP as in today’s world of community service the word “peace” provides a special USP for the brand image for the ‘so called peace organizations’. Having that said, when the world is revolving under the arms of intolerances, the presence of ‘the so called peace organizations’ can make a big difference however the big reason for we living under the black clouds of insecurity is that, the peace organizations are not doing what their basic KRAs are.
For us the word ‘Peace’ doesn’t have any definitions. It’s a beautiful phenomenon which can be only felt through proper understanding, that’s why it’s hard to attain. As an orifice to peace, ‘the power of understanding’ becomes a key for increasing and strengthening relationships, globalizing a nation’s resources & traditions and for the overall development of the nation.
HelpingBrainz.Org in it’s process of establishing peace, conducted “The 3rd International Cultural Congress for Peace” at Aster Public School, Noida Extension. At “International Cultural Congress for Peace” we mainly aim in teaching the young kids the real meaning of ‘unity in diversity’, wherein various nations participate and talk about their home-nations. This is an attempt by HelpingBrainz.Org to make the children understand, ‘how colourful the world is’ in the very grassroot level.
In the 3rd International Cultural Congress for PEACE held at Aster, we had delegates from Japan, Ethiopia and Afghanistan and the events were inaugurated by Dr. Kishore Dere (Supreme Court Lawyer, Visiting Professor at Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi; India Society for International Law, Delhi and Amity University, Noida), Prabhakar Dwivedi (Security Professional, Kargil WAR Veteran) and Dr. Sharbari Banerjee (School Principal, Aster Public School, Noida Extension). Dr. Kishore mainly spoke about ‘peace education’, where Prabhakar Dwivedi shared his Kargil-WAR-experience.
Rupak Kashyap, from HelpingBrainz.Org orchestrated the entire event.
Miki Yokotsuka and Kiyomi Takano, Japan (visiting students studying at St.Stephen’s College, Delhi University however basically from Soka University of Japan) spoke about Japanese culture and taught the children how to make ‘origami’. Abbas Azimi, Abdul Saboor Khalil and Muafaq Royish from Afghanistan spoke about “The Peaceful Afghanistan” (Students from Jamia Milia Islamia however basically from Afghanistan), last however not the least Fitsum Taye Yeyissa, a PhD scholar from IIT Delhi’s Mechanical Engineering Department, mainly spoke about the globally unknown facts about his homeland “Ethiopia”.
Students of Aster, prepared a wonderful music and dance show on “Colorful India”; Yedhukrishna Menon, talked about his experience of “founding HelpingBrainz.Org and designing the concept of International Cultural Congress for PEACE”; Rupak Kashyap, the Organizing Committee President mainly spoke about his experience as “a peace leader” at HelpingBrainz.Org; last however not the least Vikas Jain from HelpingBrainz.Org mainly talked about “Students & Peace”. The 3 hour show was anchored and moderated by Neha Agarwal and DrVasundhara Aggarwal

ChaipCharcha – Aghapur Village
Rural women are key agents for achieving the transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among the many challenges they face, which are further aggravated by the global food and economic crises and climate change. Empowering them is key not only to the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also to overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural workforce worldwide” – United Nations
In a major move towards the empowerment of the underpriviledged women, HelpingBrainz.Org’s women empowerment team “Chaaya” conducted a “Chaipecharcha” with the underpriviledged women of Aghapur Village in Noida. Around 10 women participated in the event which was spearheaded by Shubhangi Srivastava, the women empowerment leader (Project Manager, Chaaya) at HelpingBrainz.Org. She mainly pitched in various aspects of women empowerment, women education, entrepreneurship opportunities, ‘need for out of box thinking’ and women safety in today’s world.

Women Health Check-Up Camp – Madanpur Khadar
Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health. – #DalaiLama
“When will the doctors come again, since it was a relief to express them our problems, since even don’t have a good hospital in Madanpur Khadar” mentioned Lalita who is a home maker from the slums of Madanpur Khadar, whose husband works as a daily wage worker at the construction sites near Madanpur Khadar.
When Helping Brainz first landed in the slums of Madanpur Khadar, there were more than 10 social organizations which claims to have penetrated in the hearts of underpriviledged living there for the past 30 years, however the same area doesn’t have a government school, hospital/or a dispensary however got lot many NGOs who have given good publicity to their social work through the photographs they have taken at Madanpur Khadar, however to be very honest we haven’t seen any development there. We at Helping Brainz never claim that we are an NGO, however a group of friends who do community service, as it is a passion for more than 450+ volunteers which makes us Helping Brainz. We have conducted several child empowerment activities, educational counselings, women empowerment drives at Madanpur Khadar in the past 3 years to create atleast an iota amount of difference in the people.
For India to be still an underdeveloped nation, even after 60+ years of Independence, we feel women empowerment is still a common cause for this stagnancy. Where she’s safe, even people don’t bare a 4 year old. Is she ever taught on how to safeguard herself, are the culprit punished, no never. It’s a joke now. A girl in our country is educated for the sake of marriage, though this statement would create turmoils in many stomachs, this is an underlined fact. That being said, do we ever care about her ‘health’, since whenever we talk about the same, people say, “Oh, she can take care of herself, why should we bother all these”.
Oh! C’mon, she is a human being, she needs to be taken care. Empowerment starts when you have good health. If you good health, we’ll definitely have good thought process, which advances the pro-activeness, out of box thinking, end of the day this definitely helps in ‘empowerment’.
HelpingBrainz.Org’s Women Empowerment Team conducted a health check-up camp at EFRAH, Madanpur Khadar. Around 54 underpriviledged women from the nearby areas participated in the Health Check Up campaign orchestrated by Helping Brainz at EFRAH, Madanpur Khadar in collaboration with HCLT Foundations. This is for the first Helping Brainz is landing in an area to conduct a health checkup camp without the help of a 3rd party organization, wherein we in past conducted drives with the help of hospitals like Indo-Gulf Hospital, BL Kapoor Hospital, Apollo BHB Hospital etc.
Doctors who dedicated their Saturdays with HelpingBrainz.Org where Dr.Sanjay Deb (Energy healing, Identification of imbalance of chakra and balancing aligning them), Dr. Nidhi Garg and Dr. Ieshita Mishra (led the dental check-up camps).
From HelpingBrainz.Org we had Shubhangi Srivastava, who led the entire event (Project Manager, Chayya- The Women Empowerment Campaign, HelpingBrainz.Org), Pratik Pratik Raj Bishen (Manager, Public Relations Team, HelpingBrainz.Org), Kumar Madhurajj (Community Development Team, HelpingBrainz.Org), Sharad Goel (Volunteer, HelpingBrainz.Org) and YedhuKrishna Menon (Founder, HelpingBrainz.Org)
A day with the destitute, the abandoned and the age old
Today, as we unfolded one more chapter of our precious life; we understood that we / as well as our so called problems are nothing infront of those who live in silence between the concrete walls of Jivodaya Ashralaya (or Jeevodaya Ashralaya). They had a life, which was torn into bits by someone/ or some phenomenon, and in the process of the collating back the bits, they lost their race. Today they are abandoned, and they too live happily by crying, screaming, talking and dreaming about their undefined lives with the Godly nuns (Sisters) of the Jivodaya Ashralaya. Though their smiles which appeared in gloomy faces, after seeing us, made our eyes wet; we stood stubborn infront of the undefined truth of the life.
HelpingBrainz.Org’s Elderly Care Team, along with few like-minded individuals facilitated a visit to Jivodaya Ashralaya, a home for the destitute and the abandoned; which is located in Shiv Vihar, Vikas Nagar, New Delhi on 9th of January – 2016. The Visit was orchestrated by Jyoti Suchye (Project Leader, HelpingBrainz.Org’s Elderly Care Team) wherein the people who donated were: Dayal Singh (Lunch), Bikram Chatterji (Lunch), Shabbir Hussain (Lunch), Neeraj Gaur (Bedsheets and Sweaters) and Geeta Walia (Sweaters). The Lunch was prepared by Shri. Ramachandran Sir and his team from Sree Dharmasastha Sewa Samithi, Hastsal.
Jivodaya Ashralaya presently houses around 68 abandoned ladies at their destitute and the abandoned home located around 20mins away from Uttam Nagar East Metro Station.
The people who volunteered for the event were: Manishree Gupta, Geeta Walia, Shabbir Hussain, Nikhil Jain, Dr.Nidhi Garg, Dalip Kumar, Praveen and Hitesh. From HelpingBrainz.Org we had Pratik Bishen (Public Relations Team, HelpingBrainz.Org), Gitanshu Khurana (Community Development Leader, HelpingBrainz.Org), Athulya Rajan (Women Empowerment Leader, HelpingBrainz.Org), Nancy Jain (Child Empowerment Leader, HelpingBrainz.Org) and Yedhukrishna Menon (Founder, HelpingBrainz.Org).
