Bright and early on this Monday morning, we have some happy news and want to tell you more about our plans for our NGO and our kids.
Future Smiles -- As the name hints at, this is a project that aims to secure better futures for the many, many children we support. In collaboration with Saprem, an NGO that has been working in various issues -- from education to sanitation to rights of the disabled -- the programme is meant for the students of Yashodhan school (a school in Thane that we support) and the students of Karuna orphanage (an orphanage that we supported for many years and still engage with).
Future Smiles will include arranging counselling, scholarships, job opportunities, legal advice, follow-ups on their home life, a space to study -- anything that would encourage the young students to pursue their studies, find good jobs and build a more dignified life for themselves. Sometimes it's not enough to make sure kids get a good education, they also need to have the right opportunities so they can have a shot at a brighter future.
