We have the power to be agents of change and we must not let the opportunity go by. Our country stands at the crossroads today with an exciting future in front of us but as we usher in the change we must keep in mind that without equitable development we can never hope to be a successful nation. As youngsters we have the power to be 'facilitators' of this change.
A group of Students from a Medical College in Chennai have started a wonderful organisation called Sangam India. Their main aim is:
"To adopt one disadvantaged community at a time and to guide it toward self-sufficiency and to provide support for a higher standard of living. They are especially focused on children, who are the leaders of tomorrow. They aim to foster in them a strong sense of civic responsibility."
They are presently working in a place called Ramavaram, a slum area in Chennai. Their operation mode is fairly simple-:
They use a "buddy-system" approach with the children to provide positive role models and to be able to pay personal attention to individual children and their specific needs. By organizing constructive and educational activities, they hope to combine education and value-based learning with recreation and team-building.
You could play a small yet pivotal role in helping them achieve success and enable them in carrying out their work in other parts of the country and also get many more young people to be involved in such a task to help society.
They need your help in whatever form possible to be able to bring about visible change. It could be in the form of-:
