PARKSHALA

"I want to be an #artist . Till 6 months ago, my family didn't #support me. Their words were, "ye hum logo ke shauk nahi hai. Kya hoga isse?" (These aren't the kind of things we indulge in. What's the point?) . Their logic is not wrong. We were a family of 7. With my elder siblings married, it's 5 of us now. My father works as a security guard. He earns INR 10,000. It's not enough so he took up a job in a cafe. His timings were 7 PM - 2 AM. . When it started taking a toll on his health, as the son, I took matters in my own hands and started working at the cafe on his behalf. They used to pay me INR 3000 per month. . My parents started supporting me when my school awarded me for my paintings. They had pride in their eyes! They saw that it's my natural talent! My father saved for 3 months to buy me a new set of paints and brushes. It's been the best gift I've ever received!" 😍 - Shivakant , 15 years.

Chandan  and Lata will be a part of the 1st batch completing school and what a PHENOMENAL result!! 😍 . We called their parents over and had a mini-celebration . 🎂 . Congratulations to all their mentors and their families! 👌🏻 . Goes on to prove that with the guidance of right teachers and hard work of the students , sky is the limit! Nothing else matters. ✨🙏

Today is # WorldMalariaDay . # Malaria still kills a child every two minutes. No child should die because they cannot access life-saving services to prevent, detect & treat the disease. Zero malaria starts with  # parkshala  .

O nce academics were stabilized, we started exploring options for all-round,  holistic  development. We have collaborated with different individuals and  organizations     across various fields to conduct  workshops     for the children. In  2018 , we conducted a  workshop     almost every month.

“ Every Child Healthy ” is a  Parkshala  initiative dedicated towards health, nutrition and hygiene of underprivileged children. Under this initiative, we focus on healthcare by conducting medical camps for the children at Parkshala . We have collaborated with Icare eye hospital, Noida and Smile India Dental, Delhi. The children who need further examinations are taken to respective hospitals till they are completely treated. These services are free for them.  For more info @ https://parkshala.com
