Educational Counselling at CRPF Camp Dwarka
“Are women in defence organisations safe and empowered ? This is a prime question which is revolving in any ‘patriotic’ human being from 200+ countries round the globe, who does have an interest in defense studies! History always questioned about back home psychology of defence personals. They safeguard the living beings of a country, does anyone think about empowering their families, though government just bestow them with some ‘extra luxuries’!
Given that, in the above para we were not discussing about the unfortunate Widows and the mighty kids of the brave jawans who sacrifice their life for our safety!
However Helping Brainz took an opportunity to help and empower the Women and Kids from Defense Organisations in India, without considering what Government is doing or not doing for them! Helping Brainz in association with HCLT Foundations geared a ‘Women Empowerment’ mission for the enthusiastic women and kids of Central Resource Police Force, Dwarka Unit [women here meant are the a). Members of women battalion b). Wives and Widows and c). Children of CRPF personals].
Today we conducted an educational counselling session for the parents, children from various age groups, wherein we talked about Career aspects, educational courses, opportunities, need for higher education, women empowerment etc.
The two hour event was anchored and led by Shubhangi Srivastava (a young changemaking Helping Brainz Women Empowerment Project Leader, also 1st year forensic science student at Amity University, Noida), the event was managed by Pratik Raj Bishen (a young changemaking Helping Brainz Women Empowerment Project Leader, also 2nd year BBM student at IMS, Noida ) and Avinash Tiwari ( a Helping Brainz teammate from ModiNagar, UP). Also present was Sanjay Deb Sir, who shared his life experiences and took a session on women empowerment, also present were Ambika P Menon(an educationist), Vineeth Psethu ( a social worker) and Yedhu.
Something which made today’s event more special!
Though I started Helping Brainz in Aug 2012, my mother attended a Helping Brainz event for the first time today, which made me the happiest man on the earth, since she’s the reason for the Helping Brain in me. – Yedhu
“When we know better we do better”
Mother’s day with Grandmas and Grandpas of “Home for the Aged
“Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years”- Ausonius
It was 4 in the evening when we landed there, and our sole aim was just to make the wrinkles stretched and make them happy for the time we are there. An old home is a place, which leaves us clueless about the cruel mankind, who can even think of caging their Ma and Pa after a certain stage. I was touched by the warmth they transferred to us which comprised of a grandma’s and grandpa’s affection.
“Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man” – Leon Trotsky. If this is a phenomenon which every individual goes through, then why they enroll their parents in an old age home, how can one even think about the same? The love they grandmas and grandpas have, god, to be honest made me in tears.
Let’s take a pledge that we won’t cage our parents to an old age home, common they are our parents, the one who made us walk, learn, dream, think – then how come ? The world is 360 degree round.
– “She was the richest woman of Delhi, and now she is with us at our old age home as a resident” – mentioned the SPOC over there. Well is it called life ?
– “The son even takes away the fruits and cash from the mother, after visiting her every Sunday” – What will you call this ?
Ahh..No clue!
—————–
Helping Brainz on May 10th Sunday, on the occasion of Mother’s day planned of spending the second half of the day with the mothers who were denied their motherly hood or caged by their kids. We visited an old home in Fatehpur Beri, Chattarpur on Sunday evening and spent few hours making them smile wholeheartedly, Helping Brainz team member and few volunteers played ‘antakshiri’, distributed juices, and fruits and spend time gossiping with the grandpas and grandmas of the old age home.
Gitanshu Khurana from Helping Brainz, is the man behind this idea. 🙂
The people who thought of spending mother’s day with the grandmas and grandpas where
Ashish Mathew, Vijay Singh , Arya Devi Aunty, Varun, Sonam Griyaghey , Pankaj Jha and from hamara #TeamHelpingBrainzwe had Swati Saini, Kumar Madhuraj , Ragini Singh, Gitanshu Khurana, Ravi Prakash, Shubhangi Srivastava, Pratik Raj Bishen, Ritesh Sachdewa (and his wife) and Yedhu 🙂
Helping Brainz would be working for “Home for the aged” hereafter!
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
ChaipeCharcha – CRPF Camp, Dwarka 21/03/2015
“Can we soak their tears and heal the pain, and make them walk on the path of empowerment?”
When Delhi was praying during the auspicious morning hours of ‘Navratri’ and ‘Naoroz’, Helping Brainz was transferring the same energy and positivity to the ‘womanhood’, from CRPF Camp, Dwarka, in fact we conveyed our prayers in this way.
Helping Brainz conducted ‘Chaipecharcha’ for 50 women (approx.) of CRPF. The audience comprised of women who were wives, daughters and widows of CRPF Jawans. Today, women got an opportunity to express themselves. Helping Brainz did hold a 2 hours of fruitful discussion on the topics
– self motivation and empowerment
– discovering the Helping Brains in them
– healing & hearing
– encouraging communications
– women rights
– educational counseling
– women empowerment
Also, Preena Nair, a Manager in a Gurgaon based MNC conducted a 15 minutes experienced sharing congress. Gitanshu (Project Leader – CCRIDI), the event controller – successfully connected the dots, Ravi Prakash (Project Leader – Child Empowerment) collated the data co Yedhu, as usual was the speaker 🙂
Post this event, Helping Brainz would be supplying study materials to the young women IAS aspirants, conducting a 6 series of empowerment and educational programmes in a span of 6 months, coordinated by Mahima Sahney and Neeraj Shukla.
Special Thanks to Abhinav from HCLT Foundations and Leena from Sahyog connecting us with the needy.
