One of the most awaited programmes of the year, BMKS was
flagged off at Government Lower Primary School, Ramabai Nagar amongst the
presence of enthusiastic and zealous volunteers along with a bunch of
inquisitive kids.
About:
BACHHE MANN KE SACHHE is an initiative by Aashayein
Foundation, Mysore in which we identify (through survey) children with good
potential who come from a very weak financial background so much so that they
are not in a position to afford education.
Modus Operandi:
These identified children are then admitted to government or
government aided schools and are provided with all the things, from books and
stationary to uniforms.
Also, it is made sure that these children pursue their
education till the 10th grade. A systematic record will be
maintained and the children will be monitored regularly on the basis of
their performance and need.The Programme on 18/08/2012:
As part of BMKS, 5
children who were identified in the Government Lower Primary School, Ramabai
Nagar were given the “BMKS kit” which contained a pair of uniform, couple of
notebooks, geometry box, puzzles and brain teasers and water bottle, all in a
bag…
Subsequently, we conducted BMKS on the 25th at two more schools; Govt. H.P.S
, Srirampura and Govt. L.P.S, Parasayana Hundi, Mysore where 5 chosen
children from each of them were given the BMKS Kit.
This programme is being planned to be launched on a larger
scale, i.e. to spread to many more schools. Since this is a sponsored
programme, anyone interested can approach any one of the volunteers mentioned
below.
We do hope to find ourselves contacting a lot of people and
we also hope to find more and more volunteers willing to give a hand.
Do remember, your one dinner in a posh restaurant could be a
child’s education for one whole year!!
