Teaching in Slum, Delhi
by on May 10, 2008 06:17 PM

hi
Pankhudi Foundation is a registered NGO committed towards reforms and initiatives aimed at helping children lead better and meaningful lives. The organization started as an informal group of young students and professionals in 2005 and is currently active in six cities across India. Orphans, children with special needs and children living in underprivileged sections are our inspiration.
As part of ~Pankhudi Delhi team, we are working at a slum (Okhla Slum, opposite Sukhdev Vihar bus depot, Mathura Road, Near Apollo Hospital). The focus is on basics of education as well as health and hygiene of children living in the slum. After interacting with inhabitants, we decided to start with basics of primary education. Regular weekly classes are being conducted on Sunday. The strength of kids is around 30. We are planning to start conducting classes on Saturday also once strength of active volunteer increases. Also our work has already started on a plan to involve educated people from local community, from slum itself, in teaching classes.
We are looking for more volunteers who can help in increasing the span of our activities.
You are most welcome to join. The process to join as a new member is very simple. Just send a request (a simple email) to join@pankhudifoundation.org

Thanks and regards
Nitin
Chapter Representative
Delhi Team, Pankhudi Foundation
