Sahaya's 1st Anniversary Celebrations

Sahaya celebrates its first anniversary on 18th March at "Shivananda rehabilitation orphan home for children" . Sahaya team visited the orphan home at around 5.30pm.

We first entered a corridor termed as 'Study place'. There were around 30 students and nearly 3 volunteer members.

Going ahead, one of our team member introduced about Sahaya Society.

Then one of the students in that school introduced her self as a singer and started singing some slokas following her all the remaining children have joined her. We were amazed with their co-ordination between them. After that we distributed fruits orange & bananas which we brought with us to all the 30 students. We started interacting with them like knowing their interests and talking about their spare time activities. In a mean while one of the kid named srikanth, showed us his collection of drawings, following him even some more kids started showing their drawings. Our turn was only being amazed by looking at those kids drawings. They were so cute and very nice.

One of the girl shouted "Shafi bhayya can you dance for us ! Plz." then the other girl started playing a song from the audio set which they use for recreation in spare time. then every one got up and started dancing and at same time some of the kids were showing us their magic tricks to us, which were very funny. By then it was 7.00pm and it was too late and we were supposed to up our session since this is exams time. Kids gave us a warm send off " Bhayya bye..! keep visiting us..!" and we have promissed them that we will be back soon with lot of fun activites including with carrier guidance and also promissed visiting them that reguraly after their exams.

We waved them bye and this celebration with orphan children will be the memorable day for sahaya members.

SAHAYA's INITIATION

Is only the Government responsible for such state of affairs?

India is a country of contrast! The country has 53 Billionaires, fourth highest in the world. But the same country also ranks 105 on ‘Education for all’ index. Among the world’s 10 richest persons, four are Indians. India’s economy is galloping with 8 % GDP growth. But also, 17 million children of this country work as labourers!

Is only the Government responsible for such state of affairs?

The desired changes in the society will come only when more and more privileged people with a desire to bring changes start participating proactively in “solution finding” process.

Every child has a birth right to get the facilities of life; but, their conditions play an obstacle in accessing them.

Believing in the same conviction, a group of students came together in 2008 and promoted SAHAYA. Today, as a basic level development organisation, it reaches out to 1 school about 60 students of 10th standerd. SAHAYA, brings makes them break the walls of illusion that they are bound to live may be likingly or unlikingly.

Basic education and gender equality

Education is a fundamental human right: Every child is entitled to it. It is critical to our development as individuals and as societies, and it helps pave the way to a successful and productive future. When we ensure that children have access to a rights-based, quality education that is rooted in gender equality, we create a ripple effect of opportunity that impacts generations to come.


Education enhances lives. It ends generational cycles of poverty and disease and provides a foundation for sustainable development. A quality basic education better equips girls and boys with the knowledge and skills necessary to adopt healthy lifestyles, protect themselves from HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, and take an active role in social, economic and political decision-making as they transition to adolescence and adulthood. Educated adults are more likely to have fewer children, to be informed about appropriate child-rearing practices and to ensure that their children start school on time and are ready to learn.
