About the Fundraiser
30% of very poor children (115 million) live in India
Most of these come from the underprivileged sections of the society and live in a dark world, away from the opportunities available in day life. Few of them get access to basic education and are ultimately stuck in the same cycle of life earning their livelihood doing mundane activities for the rest of their lives.
What's ironic is that they never get to know about the paths that they could have chosen for themselves in their life, since they were never introduced to these during their early ages, forget honing their skill or discovering their hidden talents. No wonder, India has fewer sportsperson & athletes achieving at International events.
All because they were never introduced to these concepts during their childhood.
TEACH YOUR TALENT
About
Teach Your Talent introduces these underprivileged and rural children to new skills and opportunities. By connecting ordinary people like yourselves to teach these kids particular skills over sessions, we open gates of new dreams and hopes for these children.
Young children need us to unlock their potential and develop their skills. They have so much innate power to pursue their dreams which needs to be nurtured.
Plan
We are organizing Rural Boot Camps at various rural locations where children are exposed to different skills and talents for several days. These are being organized to support children in nearby villages of the following areas:
Kangra, Himachal Pradesh
Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
Rudrapur, Uttarakhand
Volunteers travel to the villages to teach their talent to the children in-person as per the children's interest areas. The broad skills and talents covered in the boot camp are Dance, Music, Theatre, Art & Craft, Public Speaking, Quizzing, Cricket, Football, Basket Ball, Athletics, etc. and the sessions are filled with creativity, energy and passion for the children having fun and learning.
The children are given access to all the necessary materials required to learn the skill during the boot camp like bat, ball, art supplies, musical instruments, etc.
For kids that have nothing to go home to, this is a crucial and life changing in giving them a sense of purpose.
