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 – Madanpur Khadar
<<ChaipeCharcha – Madanpur Khadar, 3/28/2015>>
“Behind every successful man, there is a strong, wise and hardworking woman” Really J?
What if the % of the above mentioned strong, wise and hardworking homo sapiens decrease, successful men’s % will ……..?
Huh!!
The present day human mentality against the noble and sincere, wrapped with shiny coverings (which is beautiful in appearance) however darkened at the core, would definitely decrease the development of the nation, since we won’t have women at all.
We don’t know how far we would be successful in this phenomenon of “re-programming the human mentality and empowering the women by making them understand their rights by imparting vibes of confidence”, we yesterday (3/28/2015) conducted “ChaipeCharcha” at Madanpur Khadar Village of South East Delhi. Madanpur Khadar is located at the banks of Kalindi River (or Yamuna), where we have a coterie of inhabitants or refugees from different parts of India. The population mainly consists of underpriviledged (BPL) families, where the women especially are home makers, and their husbands work as guards, drivers, fruit & vegetable vendors; however few (countable) children aim high to become designers, doctors, teachers and engineers, plus Airhostess 🙂
Women here are not educated beyond 8th standard (on an average) and are married at a very young age. However the present day mothers have a urge to make their girls educated however don’t have opportunities (or rather they don’t know about them, though it’s hard for them to get it). Organizations like EFRAH and HCLT Foundation are doing their best to create a change in this juncture.
On 28th March 2015, Helping Brainz in association with HCLT Foundations conducted “ChaipeCharcha” at EFRAH’s center in Madanpur Khadar area. Around 40+ women [60% homemakers (aged between 18-70) , 40% students (aged between 14-18)] were (a) educated and empowered about their rights, (b) enlightened about the opportunities (both educational and entrepreneurial). HelpingBrainz on May 2nd 2015 would be conducting a Rural Educational Counselling Programme for the children and women, henceforth would be landing with numerous development initiatives (English Speaking, Educational Counselling, Health Check-Up camps, Entrepreneurship Programmes etc), which we would be implementing in the next 6 months. BHB Team-members Garima Kohli and Shubhangi Singhal educated the crowd about various health and hygiene standards, they also threw some light on woman’s diet and nutrition. From Team Helping Brainz we had Neeraj Shukla(Project Manager, Women Safety and Empowerment Campaigns) and Pratik Raj Bishen – a new bee in our family (Project Leader, Women Safety and Empowerment Campaigns), Ragini Singh (the youngest Helping Brainz however the dangerous) and Kumar Madhuraj (Project Leaders, CCRIDI Team) and Yedhu (speaker) 🙂

“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
-all kids for patiently cooperating with all of us,
– Poonam Ma’am and the entire teaching staff for coordinating with us,
– Ravi Bhargav, Doctors and the team from IndusGulf Hospitals, -all the Helping Brainz Social Development Consultants (Ashim Sir,Preeja Nair, Mahima Sahney, Neeraj Shukla, Himani Chauhan, Abhilasha Chaudhary and Sujata Kapoor),
-The young dynamic event coordinator Ms.Abhilasha Chaudhary -Rajeev and Ali, for capturing the moments (Image Courtesy)
-Ajit Mahapatra, Vallabh Kollegal, Sonam Chopra, Renu Rawat, Nikhil and Shailesh Singh for all their whole hearted Voluntarism,
-Abhinav Vikash & Nidhi Saxena(HCL) -Driver Fakru for transporting Us.
It’s a start – we have more to do – together!
