Ujjwal – A Day with Chotus at UnnatiKiRah, Pochanpur, Dwarka
“If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” – Gandhiji
Though we have touched more than 5000+ little hearts unofficially in our 32 months career (137 Saturdays of Community Service) , 4/18/2015 witnessed the most significant one when Team Helping Brainz in association with UnnatiKiRah ( A Dwarka, Delhi based NGO ) touched around 100 little hearts from the slums of Pochanpur Village, Dwarka, Sector 23. The kids and their parents make their livelihood by picking rags. Though kids study in the government schools (or in the MCD Schools) in the nearby areas, they spent time on rag picking, segregating the same etc.
HelpingBrainz.Org in association with UnnatiKiRah conducted “Ujjwal- A Day with Chotus” which included:-
– Paint Your Dreams, painting competition;
– Recitations and dances by the little ones ;
– Distribution of School Stationary Items (A Notebook, Pencil, Sharpener, Eraser and Crayons each);
– One time meal programme;
– Health Awareness talks by BHB Team, Apollo Hospital.
What hence:-
– After 21 days we would be conducting the prize distribution programme,
– On the 45th day we would be launching the classroom network named ‘TeachWithHelpingBrainz’ programme,
– Renting a school which would be acting as post-school shelter for the children.
We at HelpingBrainz are blessed with a team of volunteers and Helping Brains who are best when it comes to imparting affection and healing. The programme was orchestrated by Ravi Prakash ( Thë) (Project Leader, CEP-HelpingBrainz.Org), Supported by Pankaj Jha, Shubhangi Srivastava, Kumar Madhuraj (our motion capturer), Ragini Singh, Pratik Raj Bishen, Gitanshu Khurana ( all Project Leaders, Helping Brainz ).
We are really thankful to the entire UnnatiKiRah crew including the founding member Stella Ma’am who helped us in reaching out to the kids. We also take this opportunity to acknowledge the sincere efforts by Garima Kohli and Shubhangi Singhal (from BHB Team) who helped us in conducting the health-awareness sessions, Swati Saini, Ashish Adlakha and Shally Arora – the event sponsors, Sanjay Deb Sir – who even in his busy schedule made some time and paid a visit and helped us by being one among us, Ruchir Sajwan and Nikita from Ameriprise Financials, Gurgaon who volunteered to their best.
I am blessed to be a Helping Brainz. #blessed2bahelpingbrain
Rural Educational counselling – Nithari April’15
An educated man can #makeadifference.
To bridge two inhabited lands, we need a capable architect, however we need a coterie of educated human beings to traverse a country from darkness to enlightenment.
With a mission to enlighten this country, by empowering the rural population, HelpingBrainz launched the Rural Educational Counselling, a programme aimed to cater knowledge about various courses, employment opportunities, short time courses, certification programmes, government’s educational establishments. Around 20 smart ladies ages between 15 to 60 attended the programme held at the panchayat bhawan, Nithari. Nithari gram pradhan Shri Vimlesh Sharma inaugurated the event.
From Helping Brainz we had our smart kids on field, Kumar Madhuraj – the helping brain who managed the event, Shubhangi Srivastava, the youngest among us however a born change maker, and the one and all Somi Shukla, the man behind the event and YedhuKrishna Menon
Next Sunday afternoon we would have the second part of the event.
Child Empowerment by Helping Brainz Bihar Team
Bihar, the 13th largest state in India is historically renowned state with powerful cultural heritage, educational importance, has the 6th oldest Engineering college in India, and many more, however the present day situations, the havoc created by politics and corruption, non-compliance towards the legal system have shattered the image however there are human beings who want to walk on the path of Development.
Helping Brainz in Siwan, Patna conducted a day long event for the underprivileged children from Chowki – Hassan, Siwan – Bihar 10th March 2015. Children are from financially weak backgrounds, wherein we found that they don’t have access to the basic amenities, school infrastructure, study materials, which the kids are supposed to have. A Kumar Madhuraj led event consisted of School Stationery donations, Paint Your Dreams Competition and Prize distributions. Kumar Madhuraj Solely sponsored all the donations.
Kumar Madhuraj works as the Project Leader in the CCRID Initiatives ( Corporate Community Rural and Institutional Development Initiatives)
Helping Brainz would be conducting educational and child empowerment sessions in Bihar.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”- W.B. Yeats
Helping Brainz in it’s process to enlighten the world touched milestones by marking the 100th hour of weekend social work and covering 350+ students in one-go.
Helping Brainz on Saturday 18th October landed in the slum area of Nithari Village, Noida Sec 31 – which is still in the phase of development and conducted
– Paint Your Dreams for 350+ Children in 2 batches
– Food donation drive
– Free health check up camp with the help of IndusGulf Hospitals
– Donated School Stationeries to All the 350+ children
The children were from rural backgrounds, with their parents being daily wage workers .
We requested the children to maintain their surroundings, their school, their home and themselves clean. – this was the first message we delivered to the young crowd gathered.
I was motivated with the silence and humbleness they maintained to listen to our wordings, which surprised all the present teaching staff over there.
Hereafter, Helping Brainz would be working for the development of the children by facilitating more events, teaching programmes, devising activity based learning programmes, training the teachers programmes.
My sincere thanks to
