“I want to become a doctor and highly motivated to help the poor”, “I want to become an engineer and like to settle in the best possible manner”, “I want to become District Collector”, “I want to become a scientist”… Looking back to those days when we were novice, deeply filled with ideas of contribution to the society, profoundly affected little ingenuous hearts with revolutionary ideas, confidently promised to our heart that we would contribute something to the society and would be a part of social uplift. Now what is the status of those child dreams after stabilized financially and socially??
Now, the so called dreams in this busy world with hectic schedules have gone into the attic. The simple justification we give ourselves is that “we don’t have time. If we have the so TIME then we would ready to contribute !” But how far this alibi keep these thoughts on ice? In our surroundings, we see so many children without basic education, diseased and differently able with malnutrition, lack of proper care, roaming on roads and begging. Who should take care of them? Government introduced so many reforms and reservations for the backward (here it is strictly to the tribes). What is the use of these reservations if those tribes does not have basic education? A lending hand can bring them up!
We believe that education is an important vehicle of self-assertion and social development. But many Adivasi children have no access to primary education, as they have to walk long distances, crossing streams and forests, only to rely on governmental education where teachers are either absent or disrespectful of their culture and traditional knowledge, while providing no vocational skills to help children in the long run. There are so many NGOs(Non Government Organizations) to show some light in their future. One among them is Samata

Please contribute for the noble cause. Sum of many little amounts as a whole can help in blossoming those children’s future.
