Jamghat's Night Walk

 
Hi all,
The streets of Delhi are the homes to lots of children. These children
are forced to live in harsh health-impeding conditions. You can help raise
awareness and bring Delhi a step closer to eradicating this issue by working
with or aiding Jamghat.
Jamghat is a NGO in New Delhi which works for the rehabilitation of
street children into the mainstream. Founded in 2003 we have a shelter
housing 15 children, where we have rehabilitated more than 35 children. A
day care facility is also available to the children. It offers the children
a chance to use sanitized washroom facilities, weekly checkups from a
doctor, and a chance to play. Jamghat uses the street and stage theatre as a
medium to build self confidence in their children and also build awareness
in the society on key social issues related to the lives and stories of
children, especially street children 
Every month Jamghat organizes a walk into the life of street children
around JAMA MASJID and OLD DELHI AREA.  The aim of the project is to
generate awareness about street children living in Delhi and to help them in
living a life of their choice in a healthy way. The programme is undertaken
during the night when most of the people finish off their days work and
recede back to their secure homes and these children are left alone on the
streets to battle through the evils of night. Their night life offers them
many difficulties rendered through their exposed surrounding. It is then
that their true nature of surviving in such a non conducive environment is
brought to life. We interact with them and increase our awareness about them
and their life. The main objective is to understand the difficulty of being
a street child.
            We would like you to join us on this Night Walk on September 19,
2009. Your participation in this walk will do a great deal in helping the
street children of Delhi. So please join on this evening and help support a
great cause.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Priyanka
