  4. &lt;br /&gt;
  5. Project Why&#39;s mission was to bring quality education to the most underprivileged children. That is what it set to do 16 years ago. Thankfully Project Why did not come with a set plan, an education policy. a fixed programme comfortably drafted in an armchair, but decided to adopt the one day and one child at a time approach. It was soon to realise that the word &#39;quality&#39; in its mission statement would have to be place on hold for some time. The amended mission was simply &#39;education to the poorest child&#39;. The reason for this change was that Project Why soon realised that most if not all the children that entered its space were far behind the class they were enrolled in. The first task was to ensure they came to level and thus did not drop out.&lt;br /&gt;
  6. &lt;br /&gt;
  7. A child friendly strategy was set in place and over the years no child has dropped out and many children top their classes.&lt;br /&gt;
  8. &lt;br /&gt;
  9. It is time Project Why reinstated the word &#39;quality&#39; and work out a strategy to meet the challenge.&lt;br /&gt;
  10. &lt;br /&gt;
  11. Easier said than done.&lt;br /&gt;
  12. &lt;br /&gt;
  13. Quality school education should enable a child to accede to quality higher education and quality education for children from poor homes would mean the state universities. With the marks our children get at present and boy we are proud of them, the only options they have is evening college or distance learning. The challenge for Project Why would be to ensure that some students get admission in the hallowed portals of the likes of Delhi University.&lt;br /&gt;
  14. &lt;br /&gt;
  15. For the past year or so, the (ill)famed cut off rates have skyrocketed to 100%. Once again this year 2 colleges have a one hundred percent cut off while others hover in the high nineties.&lt;br /&gt;
  16. &lt;br /&gt;
  17. Project Why students rarely get 90+%. They may be a few but most of our good students get in the seventies or eighties. Remarkable &amp;nbsp;feat when you live in a tiny hovel and have no place to study, when your family is illiterate, when you have only a couple of hours of extra coaching at Project Why as your family cannot afford tuition, when the TV blares in your home and when school is far from the even level field ad enabling environment it should be. In these circumstances even a 50% is stellar.&lt;br /&gt;
  18. &lt;br /&gt;
  19. Hence the challenge Project Why faces is to work out a way by which an even level field can be created.&lt;br /&gt;
  20. &lt;br /&gt;
  21. Project Why is in the midst of serious reorganising and looking at its future. The question often asked on whether it would want to increase numbers is quickly set aside. Project Why is not looking at growing in numbers. What Project Why aspired to is to revert to is initial mission of quality education.&lt;br /&gt;
  22. &lt;br /&gt;
  23. Given its present resources this is not feasible. Quality education would mean more teachers and teaching hours both needing added finances. The 90 minutes contact time is barely sufficient to meet the curriculum support needs.&lt;br /&gt;
  24. &lt;br /&gt;
  25. In the primary Project Why would need an extra 45 minutes and a spoken English teacher. For the secondary it would need extra time and subject teachers for science, English and humanities. That is the very minimum that would help push marks up.&lt;br /&gt;
  26. &lt;br /&gt;
  27. It is felt by one and all that this is the need of the hour.&lt;br /&gt;
  28. &lt;br /&gt;

  33. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  34. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_P8R0lez34TPeEoEhokus19Jpc_e7_F1up5dgGB75B1qh0CQobbokb-hKC1yKbRpc6A7gyOLZut21et-8EVoplq0KBgavfxRnmNSJrFNoE3NlHM9Y_HOeiG14nanD6t2mgVWXg/s1600/beggarkid.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;302&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_P8R0lez34TPeEoEhokus19Jpc_e7_F1up5dgGB75B1qh0CQobbokb-hKC1yKbRpc6A7gyOLZut21et-8EVoplq0KBgavfxRnmNSJrFNoE3NlHM9Y_HOeiG14nanD6t2mgVWXg/s400/beggarkid.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  35. &lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
  36. &lt;i&gt;&#39;The time for action is now. It&#39;s never too late to do something&lt;/i&gt;&#39; wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Wise words indeed. Words that remind us of forgotten intentions and unfulfilled dreams. This post was written after a visit to the Kalka Temple where getting to the deity means coming face to face with beggar children who&#39;s number seems to grow in quantum leaps. Children begging is a shameful reality of urban India.&lt;br /&gt;
  37. &lt;br /&gt;
  38. Every time one walks the perimeter of a temple or stops at a red light, little hands spring from nowhere and seek your attention. No matter how many years go by, the size of the hands never changes. Child begging is thriving. New children take the place of those now too big to tug at your heart.&lt;br /&gt;
  39. &lt;br /&gt;
  40. One has heard of mafias controlling the panhandling business and ensuring a perfect demand and supply equation. This is unequivocal proof of this sad reality. But it does not end there. Actually parents too use their own children in this sordid business. An enquiry on whether it would be possible to teach this multitude of children was turned down as we were told that parents themselves would not allow this to happen as children were those who brought in the maximum. Without the kids, the family would not earn a day&#39;s wage. School and education are anathema.&lt;br /&gt;
  41. &lt;br /&gt;
  42. Even the laws are against us as in a recent amendment to the child labour laws, children under 14 were allowed to help in the family business. Hence &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2009/01/little-beggar-girl.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the little beggar girl&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as king for her &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2010/10/chocorate.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;chocorate&lt;/a&gt; is legit.&lt;br /&gt;
  43. &lt;br /&gt;
  44. The only way to solve the problem is to stop giving money and hence with no demand the supply would diminish. That is what Project Why attempted as its&lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2010/04/tale-of-forgotten-biscuits.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; first programme&lt;/a&gt;: replace the coin by a biscuit. The idea was to have biscuits in nice boxed that could be &#39;refilled&#39; at petrol pumps and hence everyone would be handing over biscuits and not coins. It did not work even though 50 biscuits were sold at one hundred rupees.&lt;br /&gt;
  45. &lt;br /&gt;
  46. As long as we give, they will beg. As long as we give more to children, parents will not allow them to get educated and break the cycle of mendicity and thus will remain beggars producing more beggars to beg. An infernal spiral!&lt;br /&gt;
  47. &lt;br /&gt;
  48. A child seeking alms is something that should disturb each and everyone and make them soul search for a solution.&lt;br /&gt;
  49. &lt;br /&gt;
  50. The solution is simple: remove the demand, stop giving money, stop giving to children: the supply will vanish the moment the business is no more viable&lt;br /&gt;

  77. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  78. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbRvJWnO-U6pUonNkBPsVGgfrKrPMfEDOmAk0pFw_JHjzZEeZMp5fLCTdYI5OoKCAWkMm3_yc_QGARKZwC8Nlkw-4nazegmTzllvke8IJt2J9VdvzMV0Y6z56nnof34yIRww29ig/s1600/BLOGTHISWEEK.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbRvJWnO-U6pUonNkBPsVGgfrKrPMfEDOmAk0pFw_JHjzZEeZMp5fLCTdYI5OoKCAWkMm3_yc_QGARKZwC8Nlkw-4nazegmTzllvke8IJt2J9VdvzMV0Y6z56nnof34yIRww29ig/s400/BLOGTHISWEEK.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  79. &lt;br /&gt;
  80. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  81. The new education policy is in the anvil. The&lt;a href=&quot;http://indianexpress.com/article/education/can-fail-kids-after-class-v-let-foreign-universities-in-2822788/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; recommendations&lt;/a&gt; of the committee set up to look into the issue are ready. Two of the recommendations are close to our hearts. The first is to reinstate detention beyond class V and the other to set up a cadre akin to the administrative cadre for education.&lt;/div&gt;
  82. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  83. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  84. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  85. The first recommendation comes as a sigh of relief. Ever since the no fail policy till class VII had been instituted quality of education particularly in state run schools had taken a free fall. Moreover in a country where corruption has permeated education, this policy could result in the aberration of class XII toppers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/political-science-teaches-cooking-said-bihar-topper-new-exams-ordered-1414371&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;unable to answer questions from subjects they had aced&lt;/a&gt;. For one of them political science teaches cooking and the other did not know the link between water and H20! Looked like someone else sat in their place. &lt;a href=&quot;http://indianexpress.com/article/education/bihar-13-toppers-of-class-xii-boards-take-retest-2833520/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Retest&lt;/a&gt; was ordered for the toppers.&lt;/div&gt;
  86. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  87. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  88. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  89. This is no laughing matter as toppers are the ones who get seats in prestigious and affordable state run colleges, something you can miss by a fraction of a mark!&lt;/div&gt;
  90. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  91. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  92. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  93. Creating an education cadre is also of paramount importance as often teaching and more so school teaching is not socially acceptable and a last resort when all else has failed. The need to attract the best could be a game changer.&lt;/div&gt;
  94. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  95. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  96. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  97. Project Why as been advocating such changes and welcomes them.&lt;/div&gt;
  98. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  99. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  100. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  101. At Project Why we believe that primary education should be given its right place in the education journey as this is where foundations are laid. This is also when the mind is receptive to suggestions and thus a sound policy can make all he difference. Content should impart the right social message: tolerance, gender equality, compassion etc. Extra curricular activities need to find adequate space as they are essential to growth.&lt;/div&gt;
  102. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  103. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  104. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  105. The two-shift system followed in the majority of state run schools in Delhi should end. All children, be it boys or girls, should attend school in the morning and the afternoon should be for creative and sports activities.&lt;/div&gt;
  106. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  107. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  108. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  109. Quality is of the essence but should be imparted in school. The need for &#39;shadow education&#39; or &#39;extra tuition&#39; should end.&lt;/div&gt;
  110. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  111. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  112. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  113. Neighbourhood state run quality schools that see a social mix of children is in our opinion the way to meet the constitutional right to education for all children in India.&lt;/div&gt;
  114. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  115. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  116. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  117. We hope such issues will be addressed.&lt;/div&gt;

  143. &lt;br /&gt;
  144. &lt;br /&gt;
  145. Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime. Scars heal but the pain never goes away. And yet child abuse is on the rise. Recent studies show that there has been a&lt;a href=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Crimes-against-children-jumped-over-50-in-one-year/articleshow/48120671.cms&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; 50% rise&lt;/a&gt; in the crime against children rate. Increased urbanisation seems to be a contributing factor. We are talking of children akin to those who come to Project Why everyday. Rape &amp;nbsp;of children have become&lt;a href=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/DCW-worried-over-rise-in-crime-against-children/articleshow/52440951.cms&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &#39;epidemic&#39; i&lt;/a&gt;n India&#39;s capital city. Recently a mentally challenged 13 year old was brutally raped and left to die. She battles for her life.&lt;br /&gt;
  146. &lt;br /&gt;
  147. A &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ndtv.com/delhi-news/8-year-old-girl-pretended-to-be-dead-to-escape-from-her-rapist-1414160&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;8 year old was raped&lt;/a&gt;, she escaped death by pretending to be dead. She had seen this happen in a TV serial! One never thought one would give a thumbs up to serial viewing by kids!&lt;br /&gt;
  148. &lt;br /&gt;
  149. Another report states that over &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/300-000-children-across-india-drugged-beaten-forced-to-beg-report-1414521&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;300 000 children across India&lt;/a&gt; are drugged, beaten and forced to beg.&lt;br /&gt;
  150. &lt;br /&gt;
  151. The list is endless, each child being one too many, each one making one&#39;s blood go cold.&lt;br /&gt;
  152. &lt;br /&gt;
  153. At Project Why we are aware of this reality.&lt;br /&gt;
  154. &lt;br /&gt;
  155. The first programme Project Why launched was aimed at children begging. The idea was if people gave biscuits instead of coins, the supply-demand equation could be turned on its head. Sadly it did not meet with success. However the plight of beggar children is still one of the most disturbing ones, a deafening Why that remains unanswered.&lt;br /&gt;
  156. &lt;br /&gt;
  157. The case of the mentally challenged child who was abused once again brings to mind Planet Why. The first and most important reason for its existence was to provide safe haven to souls just like this little one. That too remained unachieved.&lt;br /&gt;
  158. &lt;br /&gt;
  159. Project Why has always been, remains and always will be child centric. We are aware that these children are always at risk as they live in harsh conditions. Okhla is a drug haven and children are preferred targets. Teachers keep an extra eye on each child for tell tale signs, ready to intervene when needed.&lt;br /&gt;
  160. &lt;br /&gt;
  161. Child abuse is most often perpetrated within the four walls of home, and thus a well-hidden secret tinged in guilt. Project Why staff is conscious of this and keeps a quiet watch, looking for imperceptible evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
  162. &lt;br /&gt;
  163. Moreover, regular workshops are held for staff and children and &#39;good touch&#39; &#39;bad touch&#39; is an intrinsic part of our curriculum.&lt;br /&gt;
  164. &lt;br /&gt;
  165. We have sadly had some cases. They are far and few between but in the case of a child, one is too many!&lt;br /&gt;
  166. &lt;br /&gt;
  167. A child rights activist rightly said that &quot;Stringent punishment provisions are not just enough. The changing social fabric needs to be studied to take appropriate measures to make systemic changes.” This is long haul. Till then we need to keep our children safe.&lt;br /&gt;
  168. &lt;br /&gt;

  189. &lt;br /&gt;
  190. Our dearest friend Kabir of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.azurehospitality.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Azure Hospitality&lt;/a&gt; conjured another miracle. This time an invitation to a &#39;posh&#39; lunch at the new&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mamagoto.in/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Mamagoto&lt;/a&gt; in Connaught Place. For many of us lunch at a restaurant is a mundane affair. This is another story.&lt;br /&gt;
  191. &lt;br /&gt;
  192. Most of the invitees had never been to a restaurant of this kind. Most of them probably never tasted high quality asian cuisine- a far cry from the chow mien or momos now available at every street corner. Many of them had never entered a restaurant of this class.&lt;br /&gt;
  193. &lt;br /&gt;
  194. But the Project Why team team is to the manor born and no one would have guessed that this was a first!&lt;br /&gt;
  195. &lt;br /&gt;
  196. The invitation was for 20 guests so students and teachers from each centre were selected. Every one was beautifully turned out and tasted new foods with enthusiasm. It was a merry party that lunched a the new Mamagoto on that sizzling day.&lt;br /&gt;
  197. &lt;br /&gt;
  198. But all good things come to an end and so did that lunch.&lt;br /&gt;
  199. &lt;br /&gt;
  200. To say that this is a memory that they will carry on their hearts forever is an understatement.&lt;br /&gt;
  201. &lt;br /&gt;
  202. Two of the guests voiced their feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
  203. One said this was probably the first and last enjoyable moment of his life.&lt;br /&gt;
  204. &lt;br /&gt;
  205. The other simply said that this lunch was the happiest moment of her existence.&lt;br /&gt;
  206. &lt;br /&gt;
  207. It is touching and humbling to see how an occurrence we take for granted gives such joy to those who rarely experience it.&lt;br /&gt;
  208. &lt;br /&gt;
  209. Thank you Kabir and the Mamagoto team&lt;br /&gt;

  229. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  230. &lt;br /&gt;
  231. Today we would like to walk down memory lane and talk of all the visitors we have had over the years. In most cases they return more than once. That is the magic of Project Why: once you walk in you leave a little bit of yourself and take a little bit of us.&lt;br /&gt;
  232. &lt;br /&gt;
  233. We have many kinds of visitors, some who have become die-hard supporters and who make it a point to visit regularly. There are even Project Why tours organised by them! The best way to see how time has passed is to peruse the pictures and look at the children grow.&lt;br /&gt;
  234. &lt;br /&gt;
  235. Some visitors come and share their skills. It could be a magic show, &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2010/03/when-tables-flew-and-roses-appeared.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;where tables flew and roses appeared&lt;/a&gt;, a&lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2014/02/shalu-and-brass-band.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; brass band from France,&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2008/01/two-years-ago-when-pwhy-was-facing-one.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Flamenco class,&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2012/01/gifts-of-love.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;wall painted on Xmas night&lt;/a&gt; or a&lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2009/03/i-wish.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; song written for Project Why and performed with the children&lt;/a&gt;. The time and care is touching.&lt;br /&gt;
  236. &lt;br /&gt;
  237. They are of all ages and come from across the globe. A bunch of Cub Scouts from the American school decide to help their Okhla friends paint their school, a group of girls from the American school in Beirut came visiting too. An octogenarian from Australia came to share Mahatma Gandhi&#39;s message.&lt;br /&gt;
  238. &lt;br /&gt;
  239. They come and spend time with children not shying from dirtying&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;their &amp;nbsp;hands. They serve meals to the children at the Yamuna centre and even give pedicures to special kids!&lt;br /&gt;
  240. &lt;br /&gt;
  241. They come bearing gifts or ready to get us what is needed. They respond to our appeals be it &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2008/04/rinky-saheeda-pooja-can-hear-us.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;for state-of-the-art hearing aids&lt;/a&gt; or a roof that needs to be made.&lt;br /&gt;
  242. &lt;br /&gt;
  243. One &amp;nbsp;of the most touching group of visitors were&lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2007/11/what-is-essential-is-invisible-to-eye.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; students with special needs from France&lt;/a&gt; who came to meet their Indian friends. That day doors and lanes seemed to have grown large enough to welcome the elaborate wheel chairs. It was a magical moment when no language was needed to convey what was felt. Everyone danced and laughed to their heart&#39;s content. Invitations were made and for an instant, one believed that Project Why&#39;s special kids could maybe visit their French friends till reality struck: given the circumstances our kids would never get a passport. But one can dream and who knows? Dreams do come true.&lt;br /&gt;
  244. &lt;br /&gt;
  245. Over the years, we have been privileged and blessed to have so many people come to Project and leave as friends forever. Those who cannot come back remain in touch and in our hearts forever.&lt;br /&gt;

  272. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  273. &lt;br /&gt;
  274. &lt;br /&gt;
  275. The Numbers Perspective! Sounds like a title of a Robert Ludlum thriller doesn&#39;t it? Come to think of it is is a thriller in its own right: the numbers referred to are the (ill)famed marks that a student secures in her or his class XII examination. They will the chart the child&#39;s entire future.&lt;/div&gt;
  276. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  277. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  278. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  279. The dreaded results are out and once again we are caught in the dilemma of whether to celebrate or not. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/cbse-result-class-12-topper/1/673838.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;topper&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;this year got a whopping 99.04 % with 100% in two subjects. &amp;nbsp;Just like Project Why children, she is from Delhi but that is where the comparison ends. According to her dad the reason behind her success is that she did not miss a single class and has not taken a single holiday for TWO YEARS not to forget intensive coaching and a supportive family. And that is not all, the candidate she beat by 0.1 % candidly admitted on TV that she had learned every line of every school book by heart!&lt;/div&gt;
  280. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  281. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  282. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  283. Project Why children too have cleared their Boards with success, with the top percentage being Kapil with his whopping 92%! &amp;nbsp;That is a real feat when you live in a tiny hovel, have a drunk parent who disrupts your studying, a TV blaring around you, only 2 short hours at Project Why in the name of coaching and illiterate parents who rather than supporting your efforts tend to undermine them. In these circumstances the 92 % beats the highest &amp;nbsp;of marks. So we at Project Why are celebrating big time!&lt;/div&gt;
  284. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  285. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  286. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  287. Nevertheless we cannot ignore the reality that stares at us. With 99.04% as the benchmark, the cut off marks for admission in State run and thus affordable universities will hit the sky and children from Project Why will not make the cut. Though there are some seats reserved for sports and creative pursuits, once again our children miss the opportunity as their schools and families cannot help them excel. Private universities are unaffordable and so the options are few: evening classes or distance learning. In most cases they need to work to pay for their studies. Two of our old students teach at Project Why so that they can continue their studies.&lt;/div&gt;
  288. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  289. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  290. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  291. This was not always the case. One upon a time, and yes it does sound like a fairy tale now, toppers were in the sixty percentile. What that meant was that the difference between the topper and the &amp;nbsp;student with the lowest marks would be about 30+%. Today the pass percentage of 33% remains unchanged so the difference becomes a whopping 66%. There is something terribly wrong.&lt;/div&gt;
  292. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  293. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  294. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  295. Exams earlier had questions that demanded reasoning and thinking like the dreaded precis in English and numerous essay type questions in other subjects. Getting 100% was quasi impossible. Over the years the evaluation yardstick changed and the result was that children belonging to underprivileged homes quietly dropped out of the net of higher education.&lt;/div&gt;
  296. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  297. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  298. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  299. This is a worrying situation as many students who are thus denied the opportunity to study could have accessed avenues now closed to them and &amp;nbsp;excelled. It is time decision makers looked at this problem seriously otherwise education for all becomes devoid of meaning.&lt;/div&gt;
  300. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  301. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  302. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  303. To put things in a different perspective the topper of the prestigious IAS (Indian Administrative Service) was declared last week. The topper 52.49 %.&lt;/div&gt;
  304. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  305. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  328. &lt;br /&gt;
  329. The dentist comes calling&lt;br /&gt;
  330. &lt;br /&gt;
  331. It was dental checkup time for children from the special section, the creche and the primary section. This was the first dental check up at Project Why and was made possible thanks to our friend Neena Gulabani from the Anubhav Learning Centre. Two young dentists Rinku and Shweta spent the morning peering into small and not so small mouths. The children as always behaved perfectly though one or two of the tiny ones got a bit frightened. The doctors gave the children toothpaste and told them to brush TWICE a day. Some need dental care and we are working towards a solution.&lt;br /&gt;
  332. &lt;br /&gt;
  333. &lt;br /&gt;
  334. &lt;br /&gt;
  335. The star of the day however was Ganga. She decided to express her gratitude and ours too by performing a lovely dance for the visiting doctors. It was such a special moment and we invite you to share it with us. What makes this so poignant is that little Ganga has a terrible skin condition that may be life threatening.&lt;br /&gt;
  336. &lt;br /&gt;
  337. &lt;br /&gt;

  352. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  353. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1AWsABr7jXcd3zCN9Cx3Xd4UuvMtlUt3iKufjWK2pO3SwQIpVR0lGHIZ2wq9-UwuoSj5VKoL4Q0btk3P8YYivISZ5yXWsZnl5CgFQEr15OV5OIzrMXfndvB6RYJsiotjHChjDrg/s1600/enrico.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;526&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1AWsABr7jXcd3zCN9Cx3Xd4UuvMtlUt3iKufjWK2pO3SwQIpVR0lGHIZ2wq9-UwuoSj5VKoL4Q0btk3P8YYivISZ5yXWsZnl5CgFQEr15OV5OIzrMXfndvB6RYJsiotjHChjDrg/s640/enrico.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  354. &lt;br /&gt;
  355. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  356. Project Why&#39;s relationship with Germany began way back in 2007 when Hans Emde, a rather forbidding person with a heart of gold, visited Project Why and decided to set up&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tourvital.de/footermenu/unternehmen/project-why/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Project Why Deutschland e v &lt;/a&gt;in Köln. From that moment the doors flew open and Project Why&#39;s discovery of Germany began.&lt;/div&gt;
  357. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  358. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  359. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  360. Volunteers and visitors brought their own special German touch, a far cry from the image many carry of Germans, especially in India.&lt;/div&gt;
  361. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  362. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  363. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  364. We were treated to big German lads like Lukas and Enrico who most surprisingly chose to work with the tiniest of kids and who even more surprisingly wept like babies when it was time to leave. Needless to say, Lukas came back many times and Enrico sent his little brother Dario &amp;nbsp;this spring.&lt;/div&gt;
  365. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  366. Then we had the ladies who walked into our hearts: Julia, Claudia, Sabine, Myla, Carla and many others. Each displayed incredible warmth and generosity and craftedbonds lasting a life time. Needless to say ALL have become staunch supporters and donors.&lt;/div&gt;
  367. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  368. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  369. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  370. Project Why Deutschland walked that extra mile by making the exchange mutual when they invited Rani and Shamika to Koln in February 2009. Germany is the first country that Rani has visited, making the leap from a tiny India slum to a buzzing German city, creating memories she will carry for a life time.&lt;/div&gt;
  371. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  372. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  373. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  374. That is not all. The Project Why Deutschland helped us in many more ways. They were the ones who gave to three young hearing impaired girls state-of-the-art hearing aids, allowing them to hear their first sound.&lt;/div&gt;
  375. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  376. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  377. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  378. One of the qualities Germans have in abundance is meticulous organisation, a non-existent one in India! We are grateful for all those who have shared this quality with us. Eva taught English to the Okhla kids and staff, braving all odds, &amp;nbsp;Ayse brought a healing touch to the special kids and Arthur is at present painfully pouring over statistics and figures to help us document our work in a professional manner. The fact that the temperature is a scorching 45 C is proof of the extent of commitment Germans have!&lt;/div&gt;
  379. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  380. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  381. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  382. Today, at a time when Project Why is in need of a long due makeover, Carla our elected mentor, is holding our hand and gently leading us into the world of reports, organigrams, budgets, projections and more; we would be lost without her. What is truly touching is that she is ever present and always smiling.&lt;/div&gt;
  383. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  384. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  385. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  386. We are grateful to Hans to have opened up a new world to us. We are grateful to Julia and Claudia who are always there for us and jump on a plane to see us when needed. We were particularly touched when Claudia made a trip to Project Why, leaving her toddler behind. That is what love is all about.&lt;/div&gt;
  387. &lt;br /&gt;
  388. Enjoy some German moments at Project Why.&lt;br /&gt;

  417. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  418. &lt;br /&gt;
  419. The little beds in this picture take us back to a childhood fairy tale where a little girl &#39;dared&#39; to &amp;nbsp;sleep on a bed only to be chased away by a family of bears. The Project Why fairy tale is a little different. These little beds are in a boarding school dorm and invite children to make these their own should they aspire to quality education.&lt;br /&gt;
  420. &lt;br /&gt;
  421. All children aspire to quality education; it is also their constitutional right. Sadly for many the aspiration remains a dream rarely fulfilled. In India &amp;nbsp;for too many children quality education remains inaccessible. What they get is a wasted array of options all falling short, particularly for those born on the wrong side of the divide.&lt;br /&gt;
  422. &lt;br /&gt;
  423. At Project Why we attempt to better the education imparted in State run schools to the best of our ability. We do somewhat succeed but are aware of the reality that so much more needs to be done to provide the enabling environment a child needs to bloom.&lt;br /&gt;
  424. &lt;br /&gt;
  425. Amidst all our programmes there is a tiny one that ticks all the boxes. Seven children are being quietly educated in a boarding school on the outskirts of Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
  426. &lt;br /&gt;
  427. Many have been skeptical and even critical of this programme that sounds elitist and out of sync with the approach Project Why believes in. That is not quite the case.&lt;br /&gt;
  428. &lt;br /&gt;
  429. Project Why is a firm believer in the neighbourhood state run school attended by children from diverse social strata. That was true once but over the years the advent and mushrooming of private schools that profess to teach English has seen the migration of many children till what is left in state run schools are the poorest of the poor. State run schools are no more level playing fields.&lt;br /&gt;
  430. &lt;br /&gt;
  431. Yet the belief that children from the poorest homes can excel if given the right environment is something that Project Why believes in. When unforeseen and perilous circumstances arose and a child was in need of a safe environment, it was time to put theories to test and begin our boarding school programme, the best option to secure a enabling environment for a underprivileged child. Six others would follow.&lt;br /&gt;
  432. &lt;br /&gt;
  433. The other question often posed, one that is ethical, was how was the selection of children made and why one and not the other. The answer to this question is that it was circumstances that led to the choice: two third degree burn survivors with dysfunctional homes; a young girl whose heart surgery was sponsored by Project Why and who instead of being in school was found working; a child who was adopted then abandoned. All were children who were at the risk of being exploited and abused.&lt;br /&gt;
  434. &lt;br /&gt;
  435. This may not be a satisfying answer as there are millions of children in the same situation.&lt;br /&gt;
  436. &lt;br /&gt;
  437. The only answer that can be given is that these kids were chosen by someone we like calling the God of &amp;nbsp;Lesser Beings and we were His instrument.&lt;br /&gt;
  438. &lt;br /&gt;
  439. When you see the pictures below, you will realise that some of these kids have been with us for many years, since when they were tiny. Their destiny was linked to that of Project Why. Once we held their hands there was no going back.&lt;br /&gt;
  440. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  790. Her name is Kashmira. She lives in the US and though she has never visited Project Why in person, she had been one of its staunchest supporters. She has walked into Project Why&#39;s heart through a screen! Over the years she has supported our work financially, but more than that, her words of encouragement and love are sent before we ask for them, as if she knew intuitively that they were needed. &amp;nbsp;The precious time she devotes to our children makes her so special.&lt;br /&gt;
  791. &lt;br /&gt;
  792. &lt;br /&gt;
  793. A few years back she informed us about &amp;nbsp;a jewelry crafting initiative,that she named Sadafulee - ever blooming - that she set for helping our kids. With every pearl she threaded and every knot Kashmira tied she wove dreams for little children she had never met. As she put it so well: &quot;This venture comes from my passion for art and for helping underprivileged children. I plan to donate most of the proceeds from this store to a charity working with slum children in India. I am hoping the universe will help me grow this store to help the children to &quot;always bloom&quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
  794. &lt;br /&gt;
  795. Recently when funds were needed to help Manisha get an artificial arm she was the first to take on the challenge and managed to raise much more than what was needed.&lt;br /&gt;
  796. &lt;br /&gt;
  797. When funds were needed to help a desperate kid she decided to revive Sadafulee. Her absolutely stunning pieces are available through her &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/kashmira.patel.56?fref=photo&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  798. &lt;br /&gt;
  799. We have no words to express our gratitude and love to Kashmira. The only way we can do it is by continuing the work we do with renewed commitment and energy&lt;br /&gt;
  800. &lt;br /&gt;
  801. Thank you for being there for us, Kashmira&lt;br /&gt;

  817. &lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
  818. &lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;Helen Keller&lt;br /&gt;
  819. &lt;br /&gt;
  820. &amp;nbsp;How true these words are and Project Why is a proof of this. It was in very early days that Anou decided to source 100% of her team from within the community. The decision was instinctive. What was available were women with unfinished educations often due to early marriages, men who had obtained degrees from other states and could not find employment, and people in desperate conditions where a job, however small, meant food on the table. That is where most of Project Why&#39;s team comes from.&lt;br /&gt;
  821. &lt;br /&gt;
  822. In early days there were many doomsayers who believed that this experience would be a disaster and Project Why would have to walk the trodden path. But Project Why stuck to our guns and never looked back.&lt;br /&gt;
  823. &lt;br /&gt;
  824. Project Why&#39;s maverick team rose to meet expectations and performed with commitment, motivation and passion. These are the qualities that stand out and that are not to be found in people coming from the outside. For many, working at Project Why meant giving children the opportunities they never had. That is not all: being from the community they understand the needs and the solutions they offer are appropriate and work. They have allowed Project Why to truly address the real needs of the children.&lt;br /&gt;
  825. &lt;br /&gt;
  826. Moreover we have a team that stays and those who left did for real reasons: relocation, marriage and in a few cases a better job- something we celebrate. Some left to start their own organisations. To be applauded!&lt;br /&gt;
  827. &lt;br /&gt;
  828. &lt;br /&gt;
  829. n many cases Project Why has allowed many to climb a few rungs of the social ladder. As one staff member who is now married and a mom, told us, though she could get a better paid job in a factory, being called Ma&#39;am on the street by her students and their parents is an honor and worth the lower salary.&lt;br /&gt;
  830. &lt;br /&gt;
  831. Project Why has also prompted many of our staff, mostly women, to complete their unfinished studies. We are very proud of all of them. Some children who have been with us since early years are now teachers at Project Why. We have come a long way.&lt;br /&gt;
  832. True, there are some challenges, mostly because all staff members have a very emotional tie to Project Why. Project Why stands with them all the way and it is this that makes the Project Why team formidable and invincible.&lt;br /&gt;
  833. &lt;br /&gt;
  834. &lt;br /&gt;

  870. &lt;br /&gt;
  871. It has been International Month at Project Why. &amp;nbsp;First we had visitors from France, then from Japan and now hold your breath… from Lebanon! &amp;nbsp;A group of twenty young girls from the American Community School: Beirut came to visit Project Why shepherded by our dear friend &lt;a href=&quot;http://handsupholidays.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chris of Hands Up Holidays&lt;/a&gt;. It was truly special to have visitors from a part of the world that has ben torn by war for so long.&lt;br /&gt;
  872. &lt;br /&gt;
  873. As their arrival was delayed ,the visit was limited to the Okhla Centre. In spite of the terrible heat twenty sparkling smiles walked in. Soon the place was filled with palpable vibes. After a short introduction the girls proceeded to meet their Indian counterparts. The visitors were all class X and XI students and being afternoon, the secondary girls were on the roof. It did not take long for the two yet unknown worlds to meet and bond.&lt;br /&gt;
  874. &lt;br /&gt;
  875. The girls danced to Bollywood and Arabic music, each one teaching the other their moves amidst laughter and giggles. All barriers were broken; it was just a bunch of young girls having fun together. There would be card and other games and even visits to homes as the Project Why girls wanted to show their Lebanese friends where hey lived.&lt;br /&gt;
  876. &lt;br /&gt;
  877. Time flew. It was soon time to bid farewell with the hope that one would meet again.&lt;br /&gt;
  878. &lt;br /&gt;
  879. &lt;br /&gt;
  880. Thank you, Chris for this wonderful opportunity&lt;br /&gt;
  881. &lt;br /&gt;
  882. &lt;br /&gt;
  883. &lt;span style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Enjoy some precious moments of this visit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  914. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  915. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  916. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  917. The Project Why Yamuna Centre is one year old!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  918. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  919. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  920. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  921. A simple look at the smiling faces in the picture is ample proof of the fact that we got it right. Only a little over a year ago Project Why came to know about the existence of the &quot;Yamuna Kids,” a bunch of happy children who run in fields along the river amidst vegetable patches tended by their parents. And this in the middle of the concrete jungle that is Delhi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  922. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  923. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  924. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  925. These are children of what is known as agricultural labour who hire these fields from the landlords at a fixed price and then make their living from the vegetables they grow. They are at the mercy of the weather gods; excess rain or extreme weather can destroy the crop. Their homes are made of straw with a plastic sheet for protection. Unlike the rich who can build unabashedly on the flood plains, these people are not allowed a single brick.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  926. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  927. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  928. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  929. There is no school in the vicinity; in any case their children do not appear in any census and hence do not exist. They used to spend their time helping their parents in the fields, a task they can legally do as the child labour law has recent been amended to make working in the family business ‘legal.&#39; These kids are happy-go-lucky children living in a time warp and a bubble. The question that comes to mind is what is their future? A simple change in building laws could destroy their lives in a jiffy.&lt;/div&gt;
  930. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  931. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  932. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  933. Project Why had to intervene but once again what mattered was to find a way to adapt our intervention to the reality of these children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  934. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  935. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  936. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  937. An informal day-school was set up and it was decided that children would be taught according to their age and capability as some seemed to have had some non formal teaching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  938. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  939. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  940. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  941. The gods conspired to make the Yamuna Centre a reality. Friends and donors pitched in and one even decided to provide a hot lunch to these kids six days a week. The lunch was a huge success. Other friends sponsored a roof, supplies and everything we could possibly need- even a toilet!&lt;/div&gt;
  942. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  943. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  944. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  945. It did not take any time for the Centre to function perfectly. The Yamuna kids are probably one of the most eager kids of the Project Why family. The numbers increased till we had to put a stop as there was no space left. Today there are about ninety children studying in the centre.&lt;/div&gt;
  946. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  947. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  948. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  949. Anyone coming for the first time will have a difficult time believing that the Centre is just one year old.&lt;/div&gt;
  950. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  951. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  953. These are God&#39;s own kids who had never stepped out from their fields. We were surprised to learn that they had never seen India Gate. A few days back our friends from Enfances Indiennes took the children for an outing to INDIA GATE.&lt;/div&gt;

  991. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  992. Project Why has a Japanese connection. It goes back to 2003 when Naoko &amp;nbsp;San visited the Project why with &amp;nbsp;the Japanese Volunteer Group. A &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2005/12/hajimemashite-nice-to-meet-you.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;connection was made&lt;/a&gt;, one that lasts till date.&lt;br /&gt;
  993. &lt;br /&gt;
  994. Thus began a relationship with ladies from the land of Doraemon and a bunch of slum children from India. The ladies would come regularly and spend time with the children teaching them the magic of Japanese craft and culture. In August 2005 we all celebrated the &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2005/08/where-children-dare-to-dream.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tanabata&lt;/a&gt; festival where every child wrote her of his wish on a bright paper and tied it to the bamboo stems our Japanese friends had bought. The children even learnt a Japanese Song.&lt;br /&gt;
  995. &lt;br /&gt;
  996. For the past year the Japanese Volunteer Group has been a steady and committed support. They have been there for us at every step of the way and meet our needs constantly. Be it a water cooler, a fan, mats for the children to sit on, stationery, sweaters and socks to keep warm in winter, our Japanes friends have always called &#39;present&#39; to our need. When the Yamuna centre needed a roof, they collected funds and thus provided shelter from the cold and the heat. They also give the children school bags and supplies, school books, uniforms and sweaters.&lt;br /&gt;
  997. &lt;br /&gt;
  998. A few months ago Ayumi San, a member of the group, contacted us and told us her husband&#39;s company was willing to help us. Yoshiki San visited the Okhla centre a few weeks ago and it was decided that his company would build a shelter on the roof and provide two callers to beat the heat.&lt;br /&gt;
  999. &lt;br /&gt;
  1000. Last week Yoshiki San and his team visited the Centre and spent time with the children.&lt;br /&gt;
  1001. &lt;br /&gt;
  1002. It was a wonderful morning where again many words met. The Japanese, their Indian colleagues and Project Why. Once again we were touched by the gentle mood that prevailed. Somehow whenever the Japanese come there is never a feeling of rush. Time seems to take on a different pace.&lt;br /&gt;
  1003. &lt;br /&gt;
  1004. Yoshiko San and his team spent quality time with the Okhla and Yamuna children. We were pleasantly surprised to discover his drawing talent as he produced drawing after drawing of the children&#39;s faces. Then it was time for the children to showcase their talent: Sanjay showed his yoga prowess and then the boys performed a stunning dance. Yoshiko San then spoke to the children and gave them wise counsel. He told them to believe in their dreams as dreams come true but for that they needed to study hard and listen to their teachers. The morning ended with a distribution of stationery and cakes.&lt;br /&gt;
  1005. &lt;br /&gt;
  1006. The guests then moved on to the Yamuna centre. It was lunch time so they decided to serve the lunch. Then it was fun time with more laughter, more sharing and more caring. All barriers were broken as one and all intermingled with ease and joy.&lt;br /&gt;
  1007. &lt;br /&gt;
  1008. Then it was time for goodbyes and promises to meet again.&lt;br /&gt;
  1009. &lt;br /&gt;
  1010. So また会いましょう！Yoshiki San, till meet again&lt;br /&gt;
  1011. &lt;br /&gt;

  1045. &lt;i&gt;There&#39;s no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were&lt;/i&gt; wrote Dwight D. Eisenhower.&lt;/div&gt;
  1046. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

  1048. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;
  1049. One of the most difficult moments we have had to face at Project Why was the death of a child. But sadly children die. Over the years we have lost children, too many. Some may live on in the memories of their loved ones, but in poor homes, where life is a battle to survive, grieving is a luxury you may not have. And children rarely get their place on the wall with the customary garland draped on it. According to religious custom they do not even get a decent funeral and are buried on the riverbed with no grave or dumped in the river with a boulder tied to their little wrapped bodies.&lt;br /&gt;
  1050. &lt;br /&gt;
  1051. We would like to share their tiny life stories in the hope that these become their obituaries.&lt;br /&gt;

  1405. Sonu contracted polio at a very young age. His family was very poor and did the best they could which was not much. His legs froze in a sitting position and would remain so. He had to be carried everywhere. He was one of the first students in our Special Class and we loved his gentle ways. He always spoke softly and never wanted to bother anyone. It must have been terrible for him to ask for the help he so needed. &amp;nbsp;One day he caught a fever that he was unable to recover from. He died in the very fetal position he had braved the world in, without a sound, tiptoeing gently out of this world&lt;br /&gt;

  1419. Rohan and Puja were two delightful cousins studying in our crèche. One evening they went to the temple next to their home, never to return. A day later one of their shoes was found near an open drain at some distance of their house. The approach to the drain was across a vast expanse of open land dotted with thorny bushes and trees. To reach it you had to cross a busy road that even adults fond difficult to negotiate. The children had definitely been abducted and murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
  1420. &lt;br /&gt;
  1421. In spite of Project Why’s best efforts, the case was closed and the deaths deemed to be an accident. The life of two tiny slum kids is not worth fighting for.&lt;br /&gt;

  1434. Arati was 3 when she first came to Project Why with her two older siblings. She had lost her mother and her father was a drunk. She lived in a home so tiny that her father who was six feet tall had to sleep with the door open and his feet hanging out.&lt;br /&gt;
  1435. &lt;br /&gt;
  1436. She joined our crèche and was happy. One summer morning she came to class licking a bright pink candyfloss. She was in good spirits and went to class as usual. Sometime later she felt sick and was vomiting. &amp;nbsp;We tended to her and she was soon back to her normal self. &amp;nbsp;Later that night she got high fever and was taken to the local doctor who recommended she be taken to the hospital a good 40 minutes drive away. She never made it.&lt;br /&gt;
  1437. &lt;br /&gt;
  1438. What killed Arati? The pain of losing her mother, poor nutrition, inadequate care, an abusive father who beat the children mercilessly, the quack unable to treat her, the long drive to the hospital or simply the total lack of love, one we were unable to make up for.&lt;br /&gt;

  1451. Rajani was a special child. She was 11. She was the granddaughter of Tau, the head of the Lohar Camp where we held classes. She was beautiful but was mentally challenged. No one in her clan understood why she could not walk or talk or be like children her age. &amp;nbsp;Her mother simply left her with her grandmother who spoilt her silly. She was very shy, almost wild. It took a long time to persuade the grandparents to send her to Project Why. She did come and soon began to interact with other children and started learning basic living skills. But God had other plans for her. He took her away one fine morning, leaving us more than a little lost.&lt;br /&gt;

  1461. Anil was born with a congenital heart defect. Every breath he took was an effort and he could barely retain any milk. He needed surgery and we managed to raise the funds but the little soul gave up before we could help him.&lt;br /&gt;

  1476. She tiptoed on to our planet quietly almost as if she wanted no one to notice her lest we let her walk into our hearts. She would slink softly behind her loud mother, hiding her face lest you lost yourself in her huge melting eyes. She would sit in a corner patiently waiting for us to finish whatever we were doing. Sandhya knew she was a temporary guest.&lt;br /&gt;
  1477. &lt;br /&gt;
  1478. Sandhya was what they call a blue or cyanotic baby, where the heart is malformed and the blood deprived of oxygen. Since 1944 a simple surgery called a BT Shunt can repair the damage. For Sandhya&#39;s family the cost was exorbitant, but friends pitched in and she was operated upon. However she did not make it. Maybe she knew that hers was not a life worth living in society’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;

  1490. Saheeda was a beautiful young girl. She was hearing challenged and in a country like India where inclusion is not practiced, she was never able to go to a regular school and build a future. She was one of our students and though sometimes a little stubborn, she was pure delight. She had learnt stitching and was all set to begin a beauty course which would open new doors to her.&lt;br /&gt;
  1491. &lt;br /&gt;
  1492. We had gotten her a state-of-the-art hearing aid and she was discovering new sounds and learning to speak.&lt;br /&gt;
  1493. &lt;br /&gt;
  1494. One day she went to the village and contracted fever and was hospitalized but was not getting better. The state of medical facilities in our villages is rather poor. Her family brought her back and admitted her in a hospital in Delhi but it was too late. Once again God had other plans.&lt;br /&gt;

  1506. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;
  1507. Nanhe was one of us for six year during which his incredible smile made us forget our worries and woes. He could not speak, barely walked but was able to lighten up the darkest room.&lt;br /&gt;
  1508. &lt;br /&gt;
  1509. Nanhe was born with a simple mind and a broken body where everything seemed wrong. In his short life he lived with excruciating pain and was subjected to humiliating investigations, painful jabs and uncounted operations. But he never lost his smile.&lt;br /&gt;
  1510. &lt;br /&gt;
  1511. One may wonder what a little broken soul like Nanhe could mean to us, how a little seemingly useless being could become such an important part of one&#39;s life. It is once again a matter of looking with one&#39;s heart. Nanhe was undoubtedly an Angel that the God of Lesser Souls sent our way. His message was simple and clear: no matter what, life is still beautiful and no matter how bad it looks, it is still worth a smile. And the little chap lived by the book; even in his worst moments of pain, he never lost his smile. And when you looked at him smiling you suddenly felt uplifted. No matter where and when, in a hospital ward where he lay or in his tiny hovel Nanhe smiled.&lt;br /&gt;
  1512. &lt;br /&gt;
  1513. Today he smiles in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
  1514. &lt;br /&gt;
  1515. &lt;br /&gt;

  1522. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  1523. It did not take long for everyone to fall in love with little Sohail, with his huge head, tiny body, shrill voice and incredible smile. He had hydrocephalus, a condition when fluid builds up in the skull and causes the brain to swell and leads to brain damage. Sohail had difficulty in maintaining his balance and walked awkwardly. Yet he loved dancing and would do so leaning against a wall. He was a clever imp!&lt;br /&gt;
  1524. &lt;br /&gt;
  1525. His parents talked of an operation, actually the placing of a shunt to drain the fluids. This operation was not without risk as it could leave him paralysed. A date was fixed but as is always the case in India, the day given was a year away. In the meantime we began alternative therapies which helped him walk better. We had high hopes.&lt;br /&gt;
  1526. But that was not to be. A simple fall in his home was all it took for his soul to fly away.&lt;br /&gt;
  1527. &lt;br /&gt;

  1534. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  1535. One death we mourn every day is that of Manu, the challenged beggar who was the reason for Project Why to begin. If there was one meaning to his wretched life, it was to teach us all that no life however miserable is worthless and every life has a mission. His was to set up Project Why. This would take more than two decades of wandering in filth, two decades of being riled and abused, two decades of walking the same beat so as not to miss the moment when that person would come and the two would meet.&lt;br /&gt;
  1536. &lt;br /&gt;
  1537. Manu would live another decade beyond that tryst. His presence would take care of the faltering steps, the doubts and uncertainties, the moments when giving up seemed an option. All it took to get on course was his smile. Any giving up would be an insult to his life.&lt;br /&gt;
  1538. &lt;br /&gt;
  1539. One day Manu knew it was time to go. The foundations were strong and the edifice would last. It was time for him to report back to his Maker.&lt;br /&gt;
  1540. &lt;br /&gt;
  1541. For us it was time to honour his memory and ensure Project Why would endure.&lt;br /&gt;
  1542. &lt;br /&gt;
  1543. God Bless these little souls. Each one marked our lives and made is better people.&lt;br /&gt;
  1544. &lt;br /&gt;
  1545. May they Rest in Peace&lt;br /&gt;

  1985. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEita7YDTobtEFYY0ExFAuLsiSv4ghDy87Q1kEm1QzAKu5PeYj3jITwxFET4DS1nqz_7lK3fbdF0vOjNjm0HXE3BzxaPvp2KAYXcBQUPUzuF6W5lRkBWHUIELR6zK7chMyF6QYwsDg/s1600/INDIA+GATE.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEita7YDTobtEFYY0ExFAuLsiSv4ghDy87Q1kEm1QzAKu5PeYj3jITwxFET4DS1nqz_7lK3fbdF0vOjNjm0HXE3BzxaPvp2KAYXcBQUPUzuF6W5lRkBWHUIELR6zK7chMyF6QYwsDg/s400/INDIA+GATE.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1986. &lt;br /&gt;
  1987. It was French Week at Project Why. A group of members of &lt;a href=&quot;http://enfancesindiennes.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Enfances Indiennes,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; visited Project Why and gave its children a French Break!&lt;br /&gt;
  1988. &lt;br /&gt;
  1989. Project Why&#39;s French Connection is strong and steadfast. Not surprising as its founder had deep links with France! But the real bond began over a decade ago when the visit of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.damyantiwrites.com/2016/04/28/atozchallenge-nonprofit-donor-projectwhy/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;man with a huge heart &lt;/a&gt;led to the setting up a support group in France called Enfances Indiennes. Every alternate a year a group from this organisation visits Delhi and spends time with the children of Project Why.&lt;br /&gt;
  1990. &lt;br /&gt;
  1991. This year the children were in for a surprise. Enfances Indiennes decided to take some of the children for an outing. &amp;nbsp;But that is not all. This visit would be the coming together of the two Indias. Let me explain. Another man with huge heart -who has been providing lunch to the Yamuna children and spearheaded a donations campaign through his many restaurants across India- decided to board the wagon. The result: a visit to an industrial kitchen and a talk on career options followed by a scrumptious lunch and a special treat for the Yamuna children.&lt;br /&gt;
  1992. &lt;br /&gt;
  1993. The chefs who brought the food to the children experienced a magical moment as the chefs discovered the little persons they had been cooking for. Their resolve to do more was visible in their eyes. Again one India was meeting another.&lt;br /&gt;
  1994. &lt;br /&gt;
  1995. There was another added surprise: a visit to the Science Museum and India Gate for all the Yamuna centre kids. These children had NEVER been out of their fields.&lt;br /&gt;
  1996. &lt;br /&gt;
  1997. Xavier (&lt;a href=&quot;http://enfancesindiennes.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Enfances Indiennes&lt;/a&gt;) and Kabir (&lt;a href=&quot;http://mamagoto.in/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mamagoto&lt;/a&gt;) were there too to make the picture perfect.&lt;br /&gt;
  1998. &lt;br /&gt;
  1999. The Yamuna children, who live in a bubble in the heart of the big city they have never visited set off in the big blue bus. There were many such sights, ones we take for granted and have even stopped seeing. For these kids, however, all was new and welcomed with loud clapping and joyful shrieks. A real eye opener. &amp;nbsp;After visiting India Gate came ice cream time: the famous orange bar! They had completed the rite of passage of every Delhi kid.&lt;br /&gt;
  2000. &lt;br /&gt;
  2001. The visit to the museum was also exciting. The children were welcomed by the staff of the museum who guided them through the many wonders. Our thoughts go them as a day later this very museum was completely destroyed by fire.&lt;br /&gt;
  2002. &lt;br /&gt;
  2003. The last event on the calendar was a lunch at Anou&#39;s with the 7 boarding school kids. Everyone had a great time.&lt;br /&gt;
  2004. &lt;br /&gt;
  2005. Project Why&#39;s French Connection is one of a kind as it has the magic wand that brings the two sides of India together in a celebration of all that is good in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
  2006. &lt;br /&gt;
  2007. Enjoy some special moments&lt;br /&gt;

  2026. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPPvsAMMoSvVM7ENjXtDbwNbACtd1yTAxxk6CFwF5dDTwH3xpEIYn2B7cYl8d9By7YkAcGxj3dQjLcdXCGyQw0KNgtIle2vx6q8wJbKH6nm6hbk4NJQjk1-YQSvLAFmZMmFQYjg/s1600/shalini.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPPvsAMMoSvVM7ENjXtDbwNbACtd1yTAxxk6CFwF5dDTwH3xpEIYn2B7cYl8d9By7YkAcGxj3dQjLcdXCGyQw0KNgtIle2vx6q8wJbKH6nm6hbk4NJQjk1-YQSvLAFmZMmFQYjg/s400/shalini.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2027. &lt;br /&gt;
  2028. Six years ago, I gathered the courage to write a&lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2012/04/requiem-for-dream.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; requiem for a dream&lt;/a&gt;. The dream was Planet Why the guest house with a difference that would have allowed Project Why to be sustainable. In a nutshell, Planet Why was a guest house indeed, but would have also been home to Project Why&#39;s special needs children when their family support dwindled with time as parents faded away and the next generation took over. The gentle souls once loved and cared for would suddenly find themselves at the mercy of people who considered them a nuisance. That is the plight of mentally challenged people in a country that has scant support for them. They too fade away in a tiny corner of a home where they are not wanted, let alone loved.&lt;br /&gt;
  2029. &lt;br /&gt;
  2030. This happens across the board, in rich as well as poor homes; the difference is an invisible golden cage versus iron bars.&lt;br /&gt;
  2031. &lt;br /&gt;
  2032. This was a reality one became aware of very early in Project Why&#39;s journey. &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2008/04/not-fairy-tale.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Manu&lt;/a&gt; was the perfect example.&lt;br /&gt;
  2033. &lt;br /&gt;
  2034. Hence, no matter what direction the dream took, there was a constant: Planet Why would be a place where the special children of Project Why could live and die with dignity, a place where they were loved and tended to till their last breath.&lt;br /&gt;
  2035. &lt;br /&gt;
  2036. Planet Why was not to be. At first a series of serendipities made us believe that everything would happen. The land was bought, feasibility studies done, architectural plans drafted, budgets made. However we were unable to find the needed funds, in spite many promises. Finally the dream had to be laid to rest. &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2011/01/very-gentle-death.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Manu &lt;/a&gt;for whom it all began breathed his last &lt;a href=&quot;http://projectwhy.blogspot.in/2015/01/manu-till-death-do-us-part.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;leaving us &lt;/a&gt;lost and looking for direction.&lt;br /&gt;
  2037. &lt;br /&gt;
  2038. Planet Why too was relegated to some obscure corner of our minds.&lt;br /&gt;
  2039. &lt;br /&gt;
  2040. But &amp;nbsp;dreams have a nagging way of remaining at the surface and need a simple prompt to come alive. They never truly die.&lt;br /&gt;
  2041. &lt;br /&gt;
  2042. This is what happened recently.&lt;br /&gt;
  2043. &lt;br /&gt;
  2044. For the past weeks S our die hard special section inmate has been absent. In the initial days we thought it was yet another mood swing and she would be back. When more days passed a phone call was made and we were informed that her mother was sick and wanted Shalu near her. This was understandable as her mother had been ailing for some time. More time passed and it was decided to go and visit her to find out the situation and offer assistance if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
  2045. &lt;br /&gt;
  2046. The reality left us speechless. S&#39;s mom is in a bad way and the house in being looked after by Shalu. That is not all. There is a baby a few weeks old that is also left in her care. It was heart wrenching to see her scuttle around trying to do her best with a smile, knowing in her heart that her mom is very ill. It was heartbreaking to see the unspoken question in the mother&#39;s eyes&quot; what would happen to her child after she left? It was heart wrenching for us to have no answer.&lt;br /&gt;
  2047. &lt;br /&gt;
  2048. The &amp;nbsp;girl we saw was a far cry from the often stubborn and yet adorable little woman who is the soul and spirit of her class. A mean dancer S is always at the forefront of every fun activity and can bring a smile on the sternest face.&lt;br /&gt;
  2049. &lt;br /&gt;
  2050. It was uncanny how everyone who visited her immediately thought of Planet Why! Never was the need of Planet Why more real than at this moment. It was for people like S that Planet Why was conceived. A place where she could dance with abandon into the twilight.&lt;br /&gt;

  2074. Project Why has taught me two values often forgotten: compassion and gratitude. If one is the art of giving, the other is that of receiving. When we talk of giving, our minds tend to veer towards money; often charity is equated to funds and undoubtedly it is a huge part of any charitable venture. Yet the kind of giving I am talking about here is not at all about money.&lt;br /&gt;
  2075. &lt;br /&gt;
  2076. I write this post to convey my deepest gratitude to a wonderful soul who has never stopped giving to Project Why. &amp;nbsp;I am talking of Damyanti Gosh of&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.damyantiwrites.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Damyanti (w)rites!&lt;/a&gt; From the very instant she came into Project Why&#39;s orbit and adopted us as a preferred child, she began giving. This was before she even met any of us in person! Damyanti has always been there for Project Why. She has helped us in every way possible and is still doing so by giving us her time, her knowledge, her counsel, her advice, her love, and even funds when needed most.&lt;br /&gt;
  2077. &lt;br /&gt;
  2078. Today she is helping us put our house in order and take our first steps on the road to sustainability by giving Project Why a much needed makeover.&lt;br /&gt;
  2079. &lt;br /&gt;
  2080. When I first met her I was bowled over by her incredible smile that can light up the darkest hour; probably that is the biggest gift of all for me personally. I do not feel alone anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
  2081. &lt;br /&gt;
  2082. I thank this beautiful soul for a very precious gift. For any writer, creativity is a very personal space you do not want to share with anyone. It is your personal happy place, the bubble you hide in when you want to be just you and one that you jealously guard. Imagine my absolute delight when she told me that she would &#39;give&#39; that space for one whole month to Project Why as part of her A to Z challenge.&lt;br /&gt;
  2083. &lt;br /&gt;
  2084. For the past 26 days every story in Damyanti&#39;s blog has been a Project Why chronicle, each crafted with love and tenderness. She evokes every aspect of Project Why, be it the people or the causes, with &amp;nbsp;restrained and dainty strokes that make you want to know more. And that is what she has set out to do: take Project Why to the world even if it meant sharing her own personal world.&lt;br /&gt;
  2085. &lt;br /&gt;
  2086. No words can express the feeling of gratitude that overwhelms me. &amp;nbsp;It is a privilege and honour to know Damyanti. There must be some higher force at work here.&lt;br /&gt;

  2107. Tau Head of the Rana Pratap Lohar Camp&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  2108. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  2109. “Have you ever met someone for the first time, but in your heart you feel as if you’ve met them before?” wrote JoAnne Kendrick. &amp;nbsp;This is exactly the feeling Project Why had when it first saw the Lohars of Rana Pratap camp.&lt;br /&gt;
  2110. &lt;br /&gt;
  2111. The Lohars are a nomadic Indian tribe of ironsmiths. They hail from Rajasthan (Chittorgarh) where they accompanied the ruler in battle to repair arms and shoe horses. When Maharana Pratap Singh lost the battle of Haldigath in 1576 and went into exile, the Gadia Lohars swore to wander and never settle. And they have been wandering ever since. &amp;nbsp;After independence in 1947, about 100 clans came to Delhi and settled in different parts of the city, along roadsides where they continued to practice their trades and live under the sky. One such camp was located close to Project Why.&lt;br /&gt;
  2112. &lt;br /&gt;
  2113. It was in 2005 that Project Why first saw the children of the camp and was completely bowled over. These were bright kids with sparkling, eager eyes and smiles to die for. Unlike other children they seemed fearless and eager to connect. Here was another Why that needed to be answered but there was a hitch: convince Tau, the Head of the Clan.&lt;br /&gt;
  2114. &lt;br /&gt;
  2115. It took a few minutes for Anou to succumb to the wisdom and kindness of this gentle soul. An unlikely yet real friendship was born between them. For the 5 years the camp remained standing, Anou would often go missing to be found sipping tea and in deep conversation with Tau.&lt;br /&gt;
  2116. &lt;br /&gt;
  2117. Life in these makeshift camps in not easy. The camp is located next to a red light where cars rev and the air is foul. And yet over 100 people, old and young lived there with utmost dignity. They never stopped smiling. Never mind if water had to be carried across a busy road; never mind if every so often the authorities came and destroyed the camp in a cat and mouse game that had its own rules; never mind the bitter cold or scorching heat that entered their flimsy homes. Life was a celebration and who better than gypsies to celebrate life to its fullest.&lt;br /&gt;
  2118. &lt;br /&gt;
  2119. If the men beat the iron it is left to the women to sell the wares. The money collected would determine what would be eaten in the evening.&lt;br /&gt;
  2120. &lt;br /&gt;
  2121. Project Why ran a creche and a primary centre for the children of this camp and it was a joy to teach these eager beavers.&lt;br /&gt;
  2122. &lt;br /&gt;
  2123. That is not where it ends. The plight of these people and the discovery that there were promises made to them- as validated by the few scraps of official papers that had survived the many destructions of the camp- led Project Why to taken on its first activist challenge. A PIL (public interest litigation) was filed in the High Court. Sadly nothing came of it.&lt;br /&gt;
  2124. &lt;br /&gt;
  2125. The Lohars of Rana Pratap camp survived many destructions but the Commonwealth Games in 2010 would be their nemesis, as the camp would be destroyed and the 30 odd families scattered across the city.&lt;br /&gt;
  2126. &lt;br /&gt;
  2127. The stretch of road where they lived that was such a vibrant and happy place is now a stretch of sidewalk. Each time one drives past, one is overwhelmed by a feeling of loss and sadness. The Lohars are missed dearly by all at Project Why.&lt;br /&gt;
  2128. &lt;br /&gt;
  2129. Nomads always move on, don&#39;t they&lt;br /&gt;
  2130. &lt;br /&gt;
  2131. You can share some glimpses of their lives in these images.&lt;br /&gt;

  2155. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;waiting for water&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  2156. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  2157. &lt;br /&gt;
  2158. This picture was taken near the Project Why Okhla Centre at the time when the tanker delivers water for an entire community. This is when children dash out of class to reach the tanker in time, having already placed their buckets or cans well in advance. This is also when we do not interfere, as Project Why is no match for WATER!&lt;br /&gt;
  2159. &lt;br /&gt;
  2160. In most slums in Delhi taps run dry in summer and water is supplied through tankers. You have to fill enough water for all household chores until the next tanker arrives. For those of us who have access to tap water and the means to create sufficient back up, it is impossible to imagine what it means to survive with a few pans of water.&lt;br /&gt;
  2161. &lt;br /&gt;
  2162. The heat is on and the mercury is rising. It touched 44 C a few days back. A few moments in this scorching heat is enough to send your head spinning and make you long for an air conditioned room. Some of us have that luxury, but for those living in slums the story is different.&lt;br /&gt;
  2163. &lt;br /&gt;
  2164. Many of the homes in the slums have corrugated iron or asbestos roofs and ceilings that are so low an adult cannot stand. The only opening is the door. There are no windows or any form of ventilation. The tiny space is often shared by five or six people.&lt;br /&gt;
  2165. &lt;br /&gt;
  2166. In the day these tenements turn into ovens, making it impossible to sit inside them. This is when women sit outside their doors, the men simply go out, the children run around in the sun. The sky is better than an asbestos sheet.&lt;br /&gt;
  2167. &lt;br /&gt;
  2168. Project Why is a place where children can come to stay cool. The space is large; we have fans and coolers to provide respite and a place to study. That is one of the reasons why from day one, Project Why decided to remain open during the summer holidays as that is a time when children need us most. Boys and girls come together and as many have gone to the villages, we are able to accommodate the ones who stayed behind.&lt;br /&gt;
  2169. &lt;br /&gt;
  2170. Summer is another moment which requires the survival tactics of those who have so little. Complaints are few if any and smiles are ever present.&lt;br /&gt;

  2226. &lt;br /&gt;
  2227. The Project Why Women and Children Centre saw the light of day to answer yet another deafening why. &amp;nbsp;It was 2006 and we had two women in a desperate state who needed help. One woman was ready to get out of rehab and needed a safe place to stay, a kind of midway home. The other needed financial assistance for a hip surgery, but more than that, needed a place where she could stay during her recovery. And here began the story of the Project Why Women and Children Centre, one that grew organically like all else at Project Why.&lt;br /&gt;
  2228. &lt;br /&gt;
  2229. The first hurdle was to find a place for these two women to stay. Easier said than done. In India women from the lower strata who drink and suffer from mental conditions or women who are HIV+ are not welcome anywhere, and in a land where nothing remains a secret you cannot hide reality for long. In the span of a few months we had to move three times! This could not continue. Our two ladies still needed help and a solution was critical.&lt;br /&gt;
  2230. &lt;br /&gt;
  2231. After much thought we decided to alter the approach and expand the scope of our intervention. The only way to be accepted in a community was to answer a need and often children were the ones who helped get acceptance. The rest is history.&lt;br /&gt;
  2232. &lt;br /&gt;
  2233. A quaint building was found where one wing was perfect for a residential programme and the other was ideal for a children’s centre akin to the ones Project Why already ran. It worked.&lt;br /&gt;
  2234. &lt;br /&gt;
  2235. When the two ladies were ready to take leave and resume their lives, Project Why decided to again alter the women’s outreach and use the space vacated to run vocational programmes. Stitching and Beautician Training were the two skills Project Why chose, as they enabled women to work either outside or within their homes, as many come from traditional families.&lt;br /&gt;
  2236. &lt;br /&gt;
  2237. For the children Project Why ran an after school programme.&lt;br /&gt;
  2238. &lt;br /&gt;
  2239. The Project Why Women and Children Centre is a no-frills affair. Space is used judiciously and the terrace has been turned into a space where multiple classes are held simultaneously. On the children’s request computer classes were started and the computer section is also a big hit with some of the ladies.&lt;br /&gt;
  2240. &lt;br /&gt;
  2241. The Project Why Women and Children Centre is a vibrant and spirited place where women and children are busy transforming their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
  2242. &lt;br /&gt;
  2243. The Project Why Women Centre is a large family of 300 children, 150 women and 15 staff members under the patient but firm direction of Dharmendra.&lt;br /&gt;

  2328. &lt;br /&gt;
  2329. Recently some of our secondary Govindpuri children informed us that they may have to stop coming. Why?&lt;br /&gt;
  2330. &lt;br /&gt;
  2331. These were some of the brightest of the lot who attend government school. The reason they gave was shocking. Their school teacher had told them that unless they attend the tuition classes he gives, they would not pass in the subject. This of course costs 1000 Rs a month. The children are devastated and so are we. 1000 Rs multiplied by the large number of students in a state-run school classroom is good money.&lt;br /&gt;
  2332. &lt;br /&gt;
  2333. And this too seems to be an accepted norm as we were told that in another government school 80% of the class failed a particular subject and were told that if they wanted to pass the supplementary examination at the end of the summer holiday the students HAD to attend the tuition the teacher would be giving during the holidays. The less said the better.&lt;br /&gt;
  2334. &lt;br /&gt;
  2335. This shadow education is a true reflection of the social strata of India and hence it goes from über expensive teachers that come to über rich homes to expensive tuition given in the tutors&#39; home, to group tuitions in air conditioned swanky classrooms to spaces like Project Why. &amp;nbsp;Every one has a commensurate price tag of course.&lt;br /&gt;
  2336. &lt;br /&gt;
  2337. Children as young as 6 &#39;go for tuition&#39; everyday, often to a local tutor. The price tag for such support is around 600 to 1000 Rs a month and if you have more than one child then it is often the boy who is sent and the girl kept back. As the child grows the tag becomes costlier as then you are charged per subject at a rate of 1000 or more Rs for 3 sessions a week.&lt;br /&gt;
  2338. &lt;br /&gt;
  2339. What is worrying is that this &#39;shadow&#39; system seems to be here to stay. The very basis on which it stands is faulty as it presumes that the hours spent in school are not sufficient if one wants to succeed. The hard day school hours are its cornerstone.&lt;br /&gt;
  2340. &lt;br /&gt;
  2341. Education does not stop at academics but with this dual schooling there does not seem to be much time left for anything else. When does the child play, read books, meets friends or relax?All these are essential for wholesome growth.&lt;br /&gt;
  2342. &lt;br /&gt;
  2343. One hopes that decision makers will look at this aspect when the next reforms are envisaged.&lt;br /&gt;

  2360. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJaX90-PDu5WqY-3D4EsBiw-XTqhdAkt2fIhSWQzMeWAbaNMypBmEP67Sj3H0RmdWw1e1LS7ioY9AjdlqIQW1gWVDmrHc4gTabbDwoyiNG3FQbj1wmNH9-NM3c8_qpLlY1IIXkng/s1600/anou.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;424&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJaX90-PDu5WqY-3D4EsBiw-XTqhdAkt2fIhSWQzMeWAbaNMypBmEP67Sj3H0RmdWw1e1LS7ioY9AjdlqIQW1gWVDmrHc4gTabbDwoyiNG3FQbj1wmNH9-NM3c8_qpLlY1IIXkng/s640/anou.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2361. &lt;br /&gt;
  2362. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  2363. A toddler tied up to a charpoy with a scarf: a sign of love and also one of desperation. This image was one of the first resounding WHYs Project Why encountered and we responded by creating the creche.&lt;br /&gt;
  2364. &lt;br /&gt;
  2365. We realised this was a daily routine: the mother would pull the charpoy outside the family’s jhuggi, lock the door, tie the toddler, kiss him fondly and leave. A few hours later she was back and would smother the baby with kisses as she untied him and carried him away. Something did not fit. The violence of the action (as we perceived it) did not match the love this young mum seemed to have for her child. There had to be a reason.&lt;br /&gt;
  2366. &lt;br /&gt;
  2367. The mother worked and there was no safe place to leave her child. &amp;nbsp;Any childcare cost more than her meagre salary and government-sponsored education only begins when the child is six. The mother had to find a solution and this was the best she had. It had its own logic. Tying the child with a scarf long enough for him to move around ensured that he would not stray away on busy streets. Placing the cot outside meant the child was watched as this was a street where people mostly live outside and there is always someone around. Hugging and kissing him was her way of showing him she cared.&lt;br /&gt;
  2368. &lt;br /&gt;
  2369. What would you have done?&lt;br /&gt;
  2370. &lt;br /&gt;
  2371. Needless to say this one incident was sufficient for Project Why to begin its early education programme and, like all else, the creche began with makeshift resources. The tiny space in front of the office where staff convened was emptied and turned into the first creche. A few mats, a few toys garnered from friends and a young local woman who was willing &amp;nbsp;to teach: &amp;nbsp;that was all we needed.&lt;br /&gt;
  2372. &lt;br /&gt;

  2391. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  2392. The creche would move to a tent, to a space that looked like a box (meant to be a shop), to a corral like enclosure, to a room on the third floor, and then finally to space in Govindpuri where Project Why owned its first building. The babies were the first to find a home.&lt;/div&gt;

  2402. It is a happy place and as you climb the stairs to the little class you hear laughter and joy. These kids come from very deprived homes and if they did not have Project Why to come to, would be left to their own device in dangerous surroundings, easy prey to predators lurking around.&lt;br /&gt;

  2427. Whatever the ride, the children love it. In class it is time to learn. Learning comes early in India by the time a child is in class I she had to master two alphabets, numbers upto 100 and even begin reading simple words. Children from better homes attend pre-school from the age of 2+ and the learning begins then. Underprivileged children who are unable to go to pre-school are at a disadvantage. Project Why bridges that gap with care and love. They learn and but also are given a chance to explore their creativity and be kids.&lt;/div&gt;

  2477. &lt;br /&gt;
  2478. Over the years many children have “graduated” from the Project Why creche and entered school. Many come to one of our centres for after-school support. We feel a sense of pride at seeing all these little children ready to take on their future but at the same time feel sad because there are so many children who are not able to aspire to education and a better future. We wish we could do more.&lt;br /&gt;
  2479. &lt;br /&gt;
  2480. The creche is Project Why&#39;s Neverland. The children are eternally tiny and the moment any adults steps into the classroom, they too become children, filled by the laughter and joy the children share. It is the world of Peter Pan where smiles abound and laughter is ever-present.&lt;br /&gt;

  2499. &lt;br /&gt;
  2500. &amp;nbsp;Why is Project Why even necessary?&lt;br /&gt;
  2501. &lt;br /&gt;
  2502. Sadly, this is a question we often get. There are many reasons, but the main reason is to provide shadow education to underprivileged children, an education that has become sine-qua-non to success in India.&lt;br /&gt;
  2503. &lt;br /&gt;
  2504. Shadow education is a term coined to encompass all private coaching and tuition outside of but parallel to the mainstream education. The statistics are mind-boggling: over 71 million students take some form of outside coaching in India today, which comes at a staggering cost. The main reason given during a survey was to ‘augment basic education.’ Both rich and poor parents estimated that education given in school was not adequate. Supplementary education has become a requirement.&lt;br /&gt;
  2505. &lt;br /&gt;
  2506. Parents from poorer homes are aware of the poor quality of education imparted by government schools with overcrowded classes and few resources. But not all are able to pay for supplementary education, which comes at a steep price. Very often boys are sent to private tuitions and girls are not. Education for girls is not considered important.&lt;br /&gt;
  2507. &lt;br /&gt;
  2508. Project Why provides this supplementary education for free and, yes, this is extremely relevant and needed for slum communities. Children come to Project Why outside school hours and teachers ensure that they are taught everything that needs to be learnt. At Project Why, children are taught in small groups and the teachers make sure they understand and comprehend what they are learning. Project Why teachers are patient, caring and students feel confident and loved.&lt;br /&gt;
  2509. &lt;br /&gt;
  2510. Interventions like Project Why are crucial. This is demonstrated by cases like a young class V student who could barely read or write when she came to us. This same girl topped her class VII.&lt;br /&gt;
  2511. &lt;br /&gt;
  2512. In India education is marks-oriented and thus performing well makes all the difference in getting access to higher education. &amp;nbsp;Private institutions of higher learning have proliferated in recent years but these come at a high cost and are not an option for slum children. Admission to state-run colleges is based on marks. The option available to underprivileged students if they do not meet the required cut offs are evening colleges or distance learning institutes. Not the ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
  2513. &lt;br /&gt;
  2514. We need education reform that would introduce vocational skills in high school that would make entry into the job market easier. Till then all children, rich and poor, have to compete on a level playing field to get into University. The problem is, this level field doesn’t extend to the quality of primary and secondary education. Project Why allows our students to have a chance at succeeding.&lt;br /&gt;
