HOPE

Another great day , another great interview with miss Jolly Geeverghese . The Senior Program Manager of  "Literacy For Unschooled Programme"  which is run by the HOPE FOUNDATION , an NGO .

She also runs an Orphanage ,"ASHARAN"  which is running since 1998 , where they looks after number of abandoned children and also tries to restore the runaway children .
The  " Literacy For Unschooled Programme"was started back in 2010 and is working on freeing children from bonded labour . In Delhi there are estimated minimum of 50,000 children working down on streets , begging , stealing with a limited excess to food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare.Most of them from the age group of 6-14. So they invite these children to take part in their education sessions . Most importantly interacting them with psychologist , they offer fun and extra curricular activities and non formal education to help these children to become literate and make them want to attend education sessions in the future . They also provide food and health care .
 HOPE has successfully completed 3 batches under the "Literacy For Unschooled Programme".
These people are really working hard to help the people . A person can live without food ,water , but without Hope he's good as dead . These people are providing Hope .

It was really heart wrenching  to see that most of the abandoned children were girls .Why is it that people doesn't want to have a girl child . We pray to goddess Durga , goddess Kali but don't want a girl child . We want a girl to marry but don't want a girl child . INDIA is a country where a female is not safe neither in mothers womb , nor outside in the world.
