SUMMARY:Reaching out – the novel way
DESCRIPTION:Jupiter Academy of Lucknow devised an ingenious way of mobilizing resources by sensitizing privileged masses about the status of education and linking it up to poverty. A series of interesting activities were planned to accomplish the desired objectives. \nIt all started with a mass rally on 10th Aug’08 in Lucknow involving 3000 children from 50 local schools to create awareness about status of education in the state of UP. The rally passed through all the major crossings and points in the city and was covered extensively by both the print as well as electronic media. Video clippings of rally were then relayed in leading cinema halls of city for a period of 1 week with appeals for donation to the cause. \nAwareness was also spread about the direct link between illiteracy and poverty. Powerful messages on the subject were relayed on radio channels like Radio city\, Radio FM and Radio Mirchi and advertisements put on local newspapers.The activities finally concluded on 17th October – World’s Poverty Day with the organization of a mass awareness rally on the subject in Lucknow. Booths were set up at all happening places of the city like Sahara Ganj Mall\, Waves Mall\, Fun Republic Mall\, Riverside Mall\, Charbagh Railway Station\, Arambagh Inter State Bus Terminus. \nDonation boxes and appeal letters were placed at all the booths with trained volunteers to educate people visiting booths about the cause.

SUMMARY:Talent Show Par Excellence
DESCRIPTION:Almost half of India’s population is women. Despite such demographic reality\, the status of women in our country continues to remain pathetic\, to say the least. \nGender-based discriminations\, harassments\, violence has come to be associated with women ever since before her birth- starting with female feticide- and graduating into various types\, social\, psychological\, behavioral and physical. The situation becomes worse if the girl happens to be from underprivileged strata of society. Shelter less and vulnerable\, these girls are subjected to all sorts of miseries and subjugation from being trafficked to getting molested\, raped\, sold\, beaten and even murdered. These poor girls have it all right from ‘Womb to Tomb’. \nIt is in this scenario that initiative titled ‘Amcha Ghar’ started by Ms Sushila Singh and Mr Anthony Dias gains considerable importance. Home to 32 girls\, Amcha Ghar has been working to empower these girls through education\, vocational skills and self defence techniques. Twelve years of training in Amcha Ghar has made these girls strong enough to face the big bad world with confidence and courage. \nOn 26th of Oct’08\, girls of Amcha Ghar were presented with an opportunity to exhibit their skills and talents before an august gathering of eminent people from various walks of life. Girls grabbed the opportunity with both the hands and delighted the gathered audience with their sterling performances. Around 150 distinguished persons of Mumbai city enjoyed the wonderful display of talent at Uttan village near Mumbai. Mr Vinoo Naik- Managing Director of Landscape Industries\, who was also the chief guest of the function\, praised the efforts of Amcha Ghar in nurturing the talent of destitute and orphaned girls. Mr Narender Mehta\, Corporator of Meera Bhayandar\, expressed his willingness to be a part of such functions in future too. \nLocal media encouraged the girls by covering the event. Talent show was a big success and enlightened privileged masses about the plight of underprivileged. Amcha Ghar managed to mobilize substantial resources which Smile would be matching under Action for Children programme to strengthen the project.
