And they performed for the world to describe their dream !!

When Saloni, a girl from our Swarachna Learning and Resource Center - a rural informal education center in Uttar Pardesh told her father that she will be performing at an annual concert at Lucknow , the reply was "NO - our daughters don't dance". It took the teachers more than a week to convince her father to allow  and also invited him for the function. After the performance , he hugged his daughter and said " I am proud of you".

There are hundreds of Saloni's struggling for exploring their dreams. Life has never been easy for them and we wish to be the catalyst in bring out that change in their lives through education, vocational skills and continuous like skills training program.

On 9th Dec 2011, 23 children including 12 girls performed on "Vande Mataram" flagging their thoughts and journey towards freedom  for an unrestricted sky with open wings and clear vision. This was the first ever performance of our children for the open public and also an opportunity for many to see the world outside of their village.

I am thankful to Mrs. Balvinder Singh for helping us to make this happen.
