Over het programma

General Information

India is having uncountable numbers of street and slum dwellers. There are thousands of poor refugees coming every year from nearby countries and from different small towns and villages to the big cities and most of these families are living in a very poorly condition at slums or on street corners like insects. Normal societies are so busy to deal with their personal daily problems, so have little time for these unfortunate people. 

Often these families bring their children to help them in begging, household work, rag picking activities, even some girls been forcibly thrown  to the dark life of prostitution. So it is really a shame of the so called civilised societies. 

We have got our few programs for these unfortunate street children at the different locations of big cities. Now there are opportunities available to help and support these unfortunate girls and mothers of the street children in and around Kolkata (ccu) city. Our target is to bring a smile on every mother too with their children. 

About the Program

Most important target of the program is to bring smile among these children and provide confidence and moral support to them .Volunteers would use different ways of informal education technique to present a unique and attractive way of education programs for these kids . 

All volunteers would go through orientation on arrival and two local language session during this camp. Volunteers would also help local coordinator in other activities like giving shower, food distribution, organizing drama, story telling and entertainment games for the children. The whole camp would be run under the supervision of very experienced local project coordinator. 

The Location

Kolkata, the city of joy was known before as Calcutta since the colonial time. This ancient city was used to be the capital of British colonial period. This city has full of heart, people are basically belongs to the middle class. There are also rich and poor people all around . City Kolkata is know for its busy traffic, huge population, warm welcome and poverty around the street corners! It is a great place to visit for every tourist coming to India.

I really enjoyed myself at this organization, the food and people were truly lovely and amazing. My one critique is that I was expecting to work in more SDG’s than just one (SDG4) which was still amazing but it would have been nice to know that the others ones weren’t going on as well. Also I ...
