Palak Muchhal, celebrity playback singer, present at the event spoke on music theory, music practice and its association with emotional intelligence

New Delhi, 10 September 2018: The Amani India Project partnered with Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence to weave their programme into music making curriculum, was launched in New Delhi by Smile Foundation and Children in Harmony. An initiative through which children learn to identify, comprehend and manage their emotions through music – the project brought together teachers, student mentors, and schoolchildren. Continuing till the 12th of October 2018 at the MP Club, South Avenue, New Delhi, the project focusses on music theory, music practice and its association with emotional intelligence training. Palak Muchhal, celebrity playback singer, attended the event and actively trained, guided and collaborated with the young artists – adding value to their different song compositions.

The event centred on enabling students to learn the basics of music making – beat, rhythm, tone, dynamics, and pitch while establishing an emotional connect with the same. When they combined all of their new understanding through project-based learning, true transformation began to take place. Activities includedice-breaking sessions, jam sessions, song composition and practice sessions, working with mood meters, performing to the different songs and group recitals.

Santanu Mishra, Co- Founder and Executive Trustee, Smile Foundation says, “Children learnt to fashion their own ‘do it yourself’ instruments from objects as they composed music and lyrics. Songs were focused on empathising with people who are different. Our objective was to help them become ‘artivists’ – activist artists who put into motion all of the new equity skills they’ve learned in the Amani Project, specifically around (but not limited to) gender. “

Andrew Lewis, Program Director for Children in Harmony said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Smile Foundation for this initial phase of the Amani Project. The objective is to enable these new student leaders to go home, open their own Amani Project clubs and invite their friends to learn about emotional intelligence and making music. We have started in Delhi this year and will be expanding across India in the years to come.”

Erik Gregory, Executive Director of the Los Angeles based non-profit, Children in Harmony said,”We have found the perfect partner in the Smile Foundation. Their existing programs for students across India have had incredible and long – lasting results. Our joint program, the Amani Project, will be yet another success story and will allow students and adults to learn vital life skills that will help them flourish in their communities.”

The Gurukul school and Smile Foundation showcase an initiative that brings privileged and underprivileged children together

Children from disadvantaged sections mentored by their privileged peers, and teachers, performed to a cheering crowd consisting of parents, teachers and dignitaries at The Gurukul, Zirakpur neighbouring Chandigarh.

The Gurukul joined hands with the Smile Foundation, a development organisation for the cause of the underprivileged section of the society.

Around 50 children from Smile Foundation’s Mission Education centre participated in the annual ‘Achievement Day’ event on the 19th and 20th March hosted on the school premises. Over the two days, the children presented a couple of songs, a dance medley celebrating right to cherish childhood and a mime act highlighting prevalence of child labour and the Right to Education. Their performances were held with those by the students from the school.

“It has been an amazing journey for all involved as the teachers and students from The Gurukul mentored the children of our Mission Education centre to build their confidence and refine their singing, dancing and performance skills. These kids have transformed into impressive performers and the school also provided costumes to them,” said Vineet Vaidya, Country Director, Child for Child, Smile Foundation.

“We felt the need to create empathy among our students towards the realities that the underprivileged children face. The experiences from this interaction will reflect in their behaviour and higher emotional intelligence in the times to come,” said Heena Sharma, school principal, The Gurukul.

“We at The Gurukul believe in holistic education, which goes beyond books and laboratories. Through this intervention, we want to create responsible and empathetic citizens of tomorrow,” she added.

“It is important to bring the underprivileged and the privileged sections together through a process that allows them to appreciate and, more importantly, encourages them to learn from each other,” said Santanu Mishra, co-founder and trustee, Smile Foundation.

“While some children lack access to basic amenities and opportunities, others belonging to the “privileged” group have them in abundance, and often tend to take them for granted. While in school these children are sensitive and responsive, so it is easy for them to learn from surroundings,” he added.

The Child for Child programme follows an audio-visual design through which children connect faster and more effectively using direct interaction, cinema, art and music.

While over 1.1. million people have survived Cyclone Fani in the coastal belt of Odisha- the strongest tropical storm to hit India in over two decades- they have no food, drinking water, or even homes to go back to.

“The foremost worry of millions living in cyclone shelters is about basic necessities like food and drinking water,” said Santanu Mishra, Co-founder and executive trustee at Smile Foundation, India. “The cyclone damaged homes and schools, destroyed assets, infrastructure and everything else that existed in several villages along the coasts,” he said.

“Our teams from Smile Foundation are already on the ground distributing food and water among various other basic necessities to help these lives get back to normalcy,” said Mishra.

Despite the paralysis of core banking system due to limited electricity and internet connection among other challenges, social workers from Smile Foundation have started distributing basic supplies in districts of Khurda and Puri, starting Thursday.

In the coming weeks, Smile Foundation plans to provide immediate relief supplies to at least 10,000 families, including food supplies, drinking water, shelter (tarpaulins), sanitation and hygiene supplies, as well as solar lamps.

“The situation on the ground is extremely bad. There is no electricity, no internet, lots of damage to property. Farmlands, which are their primary source of income are completely damaged, people are mentally very disturbed,” said Uttam Datta, leading Smile Foundation’s Disaster Response Team.

“We are only focusing on providing them with the basics essentials at the moment, to help them cope with the loss. Actual rehabilitation and reconstruction work may take several months,” he said.

“We aim to reduce the adverse consequences of disaster on human lives and also bridge the gap between governments’ aided relief and immediate need on ground,” said Mishra.

“The first two cycles of our interventions will include rescue and rehabilitation, which means that we aim to keep our supply chain of basic relief material active. In the third phase, Smile Foundation would work with local village communities for restoration of health centers and schools including providing solutions for clean drinking,” he added.

Cyclone Fani, which has affected an estimated 3 million people in 10,000 villages and 52 urban agglomerations in around 11 districts, made its landfall at 9.30 am on May 3 in the coastal state of Odisha at a wind speed of 175 kmph.

The government evacuated over 1.1 million people from vulnerable districts to safer locations, saving countless lives. To date, the death toll stands at 41 people.

Smile Foundation teams are working closely with Government officials across districts to assess damage to lives, homes, schools, hospitals and other local buildings, as well as the impact on livelihoods in the districts of Puri, Khorda and Jagatsinghpur.

Smile Foundation is working to ensure that families are provided with all immediate support to help them get back to their usual lives and livelihood.

“Not only are our efforts geared towards supplying basic relief support, but we also want to support the rebuilding of schools and means of livelihood like boats and other equipment. We at Smile Foundation believe in dignity of life and labour,” he said.
