In the process of empowering the powerful tomorrow, HelpingBrainz.Org conducted Ujjwal at the F-Block slums of Vikas Puri, New Delhi. 49 kids aged between 4 to 18 participated in Ujjwal Vikas Puri, which comprised of Paint Your Dreams competition, Motivational Talk shows, Dental Camps, Distribution of School Stationary items, Food distribution and ‘Dance & Music’ by the children from the F-Block slums. Parents (mainly mothers) were counselled by Shubhangi Sharma and team on ‘women-empowerment’ and ‘girl child education’.
