SUMMARY:Smile Foundation voices 'Beti bhi apni hai' on World Population Day
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation in collaboration with Population Foundation of India\, organised a ‘Walkathon’ to accelerate the efforts to bring pride and dignity to girl child and women. Chief Guest Magsaysay Awardee Dr. Kiran Bedi (IPS)\, flagged off the walkathon. Akshat Chopra\, child artist and winner of National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement in Performing Arts was the special guest. \nAbout 150 adolescent girls and boys of Smile Foundation walked from Tolstoy Marg to Jantar Mantar lane with flags and banners saying\, ‘Beti bhi apni hai’. \nThe ‘Walkathon’ was followed by a street play and poster making by children at Jantar Mantar. \nThe Walkathon was organised to celebrate World Population Day 2009\, under the banner of Swabhiman\, the programme by Smile Foundation for health and empowerment of girl child and women. \nAppreciating Smile Foundation’s effort in organising the Walkathon\, Dr. Kiran Bedi said\, “Such endeavours help bridge the gender gap by spreading awareness about the rights and importance of girl child and women.” \n“It is sad that a daughter is considered a liability by the parents. But the reality is that even sons are often forced to leave far off from their parents because of professional or personal reasons. A daughter’s emotional bonding with her parents remains for ever. Daughters are equally capable and so we should not differentiate between a girl child and a boy\,” she added. \nSince 1989 when World Population Day was instituted\, UN has authorised the event as a vehicle to build awareness about population issues and the impact they have on development. The walkathon was an initiative to sensitise people about gender equality and give equal opportunity to girls and women. Reproductive health and gender issues are both critical determinants of population dynamics. A woman ignorant of her reproductive rights hardly has any say in making decisions to plan a family. Hence she is forced to sacrifice her daughters before birth. \nSpeaking on the occasion\, Child artist Akshat Chopra said\, “Beti bhi apni hai. It is high time people realise the importance of a girl child or else they would be in severe loss\, and I don’t think anyone would like to be at loss.” \n‘Sun lo Pukar’\, a street play presented by the volunteers of Swabhiman programme pulled a large audience. The group reiterated the saying\, ‘Beti ko pyar do aur do adhikar’. \nThe event also saw the creative imagination and sensitivity of adolescent underprivileged children during the poster making. The children made marvellous paintings on issues related to girl child\, thus supporting the theme of the Walkathon ‘Beti bhi apni hai’ through varied colours and ideas.

SUMMARY:Employee Engagement Day with Barclays Bank Employees
DESCRIPTION:It was indeed a pleasing day for Smile Foundation and trainees of Smile Twin e-Learning Programme (STeP). The occasion was the second employee engagement day with the Barclays Bank team organised under the STeP. \nThe vigour and dynamism of Barclay’s employees is significant. They are able to immediately connect with the youths of STeP programme and able to comprehend their queries into meanings. Our students are right away filled up with a drive to move ahead with bright dreams in their eyes. That’s the power of motivation which Barclay’s team possesses\, very important to be successful today. \nThough\, the event today started on a slower note due to some unavoidable problems but it was the co-operation and courage of Barclay’s team that made us move with determination and make the day successful for our students. \nThanks to Awanish of Barclays’ for all his hard work and Bhupesh\, Barclays’ for giving useful tips to students on how to move ahead in their lives while making better and informed choices. \nWe cherish the beautiful relationship that we have been able to develop with the Barclays team in such a short period of team.

SUMMARY:Make a Difference Day with Barclays
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation and the employees of Barclays Bank got together to celebrate ‘Make a Difference Day’ with residents of Nut Colony\, an urban slum in Chattarpur on November 6\, 2009. ‘Make a Difference Day’ is an annual event of Barclays in which the bank’s employees voluntarily participate in large numbers to support social issues. \nRepresentatives of Smile Foundation with 30 employees of Barclays Bank went to Nut colony\, a resettlement colony and spent the entire day conducting different awareness activities for the underprivileged people there. \nWith the guidance of Smile Foundation\, the Barclays’ employees were engaged in many playful activities like Ice Breaking\, Fun Quiz\, Extempore\, Dance Competition\, Painting Competition and Dream Sharing\, etc and were greatly successful in bridging the gap with the community people of Nut Colony. \n“A smile on the faces of the children made our day. It was a delight to be associated with such soul refreshing workshop. Every child is special and Smile Foundation is working hard to ignite that spark in these children\, trying to give them a better future. This is just the beginning. We are looking forward to many such opportunities in days to come\,” says National Manager\, Collections Legal\, Barclays Bank. \nThe colony people were sensitised about Sexually Transmitted diseases and especially HIV/AIDS. It was following the surveys conduced by Smile Foundation through Swabhimaan\, a programme on women’s health and empowerment. The study report stated that flesh trade is common among the community women here and hence the risk of sexually transmitted disease is more in the community. \nA health awareness and sensitisation camp for all age groups was also conducted with the help of Smile on Wheels\, a mobile hospital programme of Smile Foundation. Barclays’ employees enthusiastically volunteered in it. The health camp offered services like treatment for eyes\, general OPD service\, pathology etc. Free medicines were distributed to around 210 patients and spectacles were provided to all those having vision problems. \nYoung girls were provided Career Counselling and Personality Development classes. Similarly\, for children of age group (0-5 years)\, many fun activities were conducted. \nAbout 300 people benefited from the programme. The community people participated enthusiastically in all the programmes and were greatly benefitted by the information exchange and health services provided during the day. It may be mentioned that Barclays Bank is committed towards social issues and Make a Difference Day is an employee engagement programme organised with underprivileged children. It creates a positive impact involving all kinds of people from the community. \n“It was really a touching experience for each of us to be a part of this programme. I participated in MADD for the first time. All of us share a moral responsibility towards the society. Smile Foundation is doing a great job. Wishing Smile Foundation success in all endeavours\,” says a Barclays representative.
