Jamghat NightWalk 29 May , 2010

Dear Friend,

Greetings from Jamghat !

 The streets of Delhi are 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 Delhi based NGO working towards rehabilitation of street children into the mainstream. Founded in 2003 we have a shelter housing 15 children, where we have rehabilitated around 50 children by now. A day care facility is also running for the children living in old Delhi area. It offers the children a chance to use sanitized washroom facilities, basic education, vocational training, 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 program 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 May 29, 2010, 8 pm onwards at Golcha Cinema, Daryaganj.

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 an important cause. Please confirm your participation to Amit at 9818705715

Essential Points:

1) The group is not allowed to carry cameras

2) If a girl/ woman is a part of the group, she is requested to dress in an India suit, or jeans with a full sleeved top. This is to ensure safety.

3) It is prohibited to give money to any children seen on the streets.

4) Have dinner and come!

The Sunday Guardian will be coming out with a feature on Jamghat's nightwalk this coming Sunday, so please have a look.

 It would be really great if you could pass this message to your friends and bring them along as well so that we can create awareness amongst masses.

 Endless thanks for your constant support.

 If you have any further queries feel free to call or email us.

 

 

Warm Regards,

Priyanka
