SUMMARY:Special Health Camps for casual and daily wage labour across India
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation conducted a series of specialized health camps exclusively for casual/daily wage labourers and workers from unorganized sectors across 26 locations in Andhra Pradesh\, Maharashtra\, Delhi\, Uttar Pradesh\, Haryana\, Punjab\, Jammu & Kashmir\, West Bengal\, Jharkhand\, Bihar and Rajasthan. \nA casual labourer must earn a day’s wage to feed his family. Health doesn’t become a priority for them because of such reasons. Similar workers and their children and families form a sizeable portion of the beneficiaries through both Smile Health Camp and Smile on Wheels models of Smile Foundation. However\, a series of specialized camps in various belts across India was conducted focusing specifically on this particular section of the beneficiaries. \nMultiple camps were conducted at Ahmednagar\, Mumbai\, Ratnagir and Solapur in Maharashtra; Titupati and Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh; Kolkata in West Bengal; Ghaziabad and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh; Delhi; Gurgaon and Ambala in Haryana; Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh; Ludhiana and Jalandhar in Punjab; Muzaffarpur in Bihar; Jamshedpur and Ranchi in Jharkhand; Jaipur\, Jodhpur and Udaipur in Rajasthan; and Jammu (J&K) in the months of February\, March and April. \nBesides providing primary health care and promoting health seeking behaviour\, the beneficiaries were oriented on numerous health hazards and how to take precaution while taking up various hazardous jobs. In addition\, counselling and referral services\, health supplements such as fruits\, packed juice\, cakes\, biscuits and Chyawanprash etc. are being made available free of cost. \nKansai Nerolac Paints Ltd. supported Smile Foundation for this special series of health camps.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the Spirit of Womanhood
DESCRIPTION:More than 100 women and girls from Sriram J.J. Camp\, near Dhaula Kuan in Delhi\, came together to celebrate International Women’s Day. These women\, coming from underprivileged families and living on the fringes of society\, have been gradually moving towards a silent but resolute change\, by becoming a part of Smile Foundation’s Swabhiman programme. \nThe celebration began with an interactive and informative session where the participants were made aware about significant issues pertaining to their reproductive and menstrual health. This was followed by a group activity where each group was given craft material and asked to create something innovative about women empowerment. Later\, all the works of art were discussed and appreciated openly. \nThe last session was motivational to the core in which stories of inspirational women figures from daily life were showcased. As recognition of womenhood\, the women and girls were asked to mark a canvas with their hands and pink bangles were distributed among them. The celebration ended with a roar that women should participate equally whether in home or at local and national platforms.

SUMMARY:Women and girls in Chhattarpur cultivate their Garden of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Not-so-easy living conditions\, scarcity of water and rented houses could not stop women of Chhattarpur village on the southern fringe of Delhi\, from sowing plants and nurturing gardens in their homes.

The participants were made aware about the importance of organic food\, followed by a group discussion in which ideas were invited for an ideal garden and interesting topics related to food and community. Thereafter\, a sowing session was held\, during which the women and girls learnt something new while having fun and strengthening their community bonding. \nThe women were very interested and curious about the sessions. They also ended the interactive session with another fun activity – by putting their thoughts on paper artistically through drawings and presenting them in groups.

SUMMARY:Riding to pave the road for children’s education
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation in association with Seven Islands HOG (Harley Owners Group) organized a Harley ride to support the cause of children’s education. Termed ‘Miles for Smiles’\, the initiative sought to highlight the plight of millions of children forced into child labour and to spread awareness about importance of education amongst the most deserving children. \nThe event was flagged off from Bandra\, Mumbai around 6:00 am. Around 50 Harley owners from the Seven Islands H.O.G. extended their support by riding 100 kms to Lonavala during this event. Proceeds from the ride will benefit the children under Smile Foundation’s Mission Education programme. \nAmeya Kapnadak\, Assistant Director\, Seven Islands H.O.G. Chapter\, said\, “It is quite ironic\, actually. A couple of days from now\, the world celebrates the International Labor Day as a turning point in worker rights. And here in India\, we see rampant child labor – right from maids in our homes to farm and factory workers. So we said let’s do our bit to put these kids where they belong – in schools.” \n“Education is the most effective tool that can help the less privileged children come out of the vicious cycle of poverty and suffering\, and transform into an empowered next generation. By involving the privileged section of the society proactively in the process of child development\, we aim to bring real and permanent change in the lives of the most deserving children\,” said Mr. Vikram Singh Verma\, Chief Operating Officer\, Smile Foundation.
