Dear donors and friends, Our project along with my profile has been featured in Tehelka magazine. Thanks to brother S. Anand of Navayana for introducing me to Ms Shobhita Naithani of Tehelka. Please read it at http://tehelka.com/story_main41.asp?filename=cr140309change_makers.asp I can’t forget the good that Mr Shivam Vij’s article To Learn with Dignity in the OUTLOOK done to our project a few years ago. Hope, this article will help us to get little more support. I believe that publicity is the only way to get the word around. Great many success stories we hear now (Kiva, Roomtoread, to name a couple of them) are partially due to media publicity. We want our project (unique in many ways) be able to help marginalized people in India at present and the world in future. There may be committed people who want to do something to the marginalized but do not know how. Our aim is to gain their confidence to do good to others. So, we welcome this small article that gives an understanding of who we are and what we do. Please let me know if any questions. As always, expecting your help to transform lives in out own small way. I would like to share this beautiful poem by Ben Harper. I was thrilled to watch PBS advertisement in which this poem is featured. I googled it and sending you the whole poem. How sweet and how real is it? All we need is our own two hands to change! I can change the world With my own two hands Make a better place With my own two hands Make a kinder place With my own two hands With my own With my own two hands I can make peace on earth With my own two hands I can clean up the earth With my own two hands I can reach out to you With my own two hands With my own With my own two hands
Im gonna make it a brighter place Im gonna make it a safer place Im gonna help the human race With my own With my own two hands I can hold you With my own two hands I can comfort you With my own two hands But you got to use Use your own two hands Use your own Use your own two hands With our own With our own two hands With my own With my own two hands With regards Benjamin Paul Kaila ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ An educated man without character and humility was more dangerous than a beast.
