everyday child - A Revolutionary Charitable Initiative
T.E.A.M. - Together Everyone Achieves More
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, January 31, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- In less than two weeks 'everyday child', a charitable organization, arrived in Mumbai and put together a Team, solidified a location, initiated legal registration, and received 100% support from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) as well as the people of Mannu Bhai Chawl in Powai to begin the development of their first Learning Centre. Moreover, they organized and invited an entire group of people to come out and 'Give a Helping Hand' by cleaning up the garbage in the Chawl's community. Sharad Pawar, the local Corporator (NCP) and celebrities like Elesh Parujanwala (Rakhi Ka Swayamwar) also took part in the festivity.
"On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 63rd death anniversary, not only will we salute those who gave up their lives in service of the Nation but we're going to celebrate the start of something wonderful for humanity", said Sean Lamba, a visionary leader from Toronto, Canada whose dream at the age of 12 is on the verge of becoming a reality.
Imagine giving someone the chance to learn something new, earn something out of it (whether it is monetary, tools, experience, etc.) and then leading and empowering that same individual to return the knowledge and skills that they acquired by teaching someone else. Well, this is exactly the beauty and the power of the initiative - it's an everlasting cycle of education.
In addition, by providing the youth with opportunities that allow them to recognize their core skills and talents, the organization can ultimately help foster them further and develop the stars and leaders of tomorrow.
"We're so happy to be a part of this and we want our community to learn great things and make the best of it", said Ganesh Shelar, a 26 year old native who has lived in Mannu Bhai Chawl his entire life.
Later this year, everyday child's first Learning Centre is expected to be developed and the curriculum will entail various activities that revolve around 3 specific themes (Creative Arts, Health & Fitness and Go Green) - the best part, they will all incorporate the 'Learn, Earn, Return' philosophy.
An 'everyday child' is a concept in itself too - it's essentially about drinking from the fountain of youth. All children in this world, no matter where they're from or what their circumstances are, they aren't afraid to take risks or ask questions, they believe in the power of their dreams, they're creative and love to have fun, and more important, they look at everyone equally despite the colour of their skin or what religion they practice.
"I am an everyday child, the question is, are you?", Sean conveyed in a proud and joyful tone.
The 'Give a Helping Hand' event took place on Sunday, 30 January 2011, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM in Mannu Bhai Chawl (opposite Nahar Amrit Shakti near Chandivali Studio), Chandivali, Powai, Andheri East.
