Hi,
Here’s a small riddle… What do you
get when you mix the most dynamic police officer, a
bunch of highly motivated individuals, slum children
in need of direction and focus and tons of love,
affection and commitment??? Think…… Give up? U get
Navjyoti and India Vision Foundation, two fabulous
NGO’s making a difference in the lives of 7500
children a day.
I’m Ankit Goyal, an undergraduate student
studying psychology at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai.
This summer I got a wonderful opportunity to do a
week’s internship with Dr. Kiran Bedi and her two
NGO’s(Navjyoti and IVF).
I spent a day at various projects of the
NGO’s including Slum’s ‘Gali’/Street schools
and the Village project. It has been nothing less than
a life changing experience (and I’m not
exaggerating). I went around capturing each project in
my camera. These NGO’s are one of their kind. The
sense of determination, seriousness, love, care and
focus that I’ve witnessed in this week has had a
huge impact on me!
It
has been a beautiful journey… one that’ll always
be a part of me.
I have made a gallery of some
of the pictures which you can view by clicking here
– Galleria
.There are two reports also which you can view here –
Reports .
Often we want to reach out to the
people in need
and make our own
lives more meaningful but do not know how and where
to. Well this is your opportunity. If you want to
help, in any way or even want to just talk to me about
my experience or about any of yours then feel free to
contact me on ankit_ivf@rediffmail.com!
