Hello,
It was a few years ago that a child that was a rag picker came to me looking for food. We asked the child and others to join our after school program and gave them food as part of our outreach activities.
Me and my friends took that as a sign of there probably being more such children. And it turned out that we were right.
Since then we have helped children and their parents get their official documents so that they can join the government run schools, assist the children with school supplies (where possible) and after school educational programs.

Join us and lets ensure that this winter each needy child has a pair of new shoes and socks as they make their way to school.
Each pair of shoes and socks will cost us Indian Rupees 160 or US Dollars 2.25 or Canadian$ 3.
We thank you for your generosity in advance.
