Smile Kids’ Day Out with Hobby Ideas

 
A team of 23 Smile Children from Sparsha, a Mumbai project, went for a day out at Hobby Ideas, a craft and hobby stores chain in Mumbai.

The children literally painted the store green which was a little time off from their daily schedule of going to their education centre.

Not only the children, but also their teachers and Hobby Ideas staff get down to creative activities like painting, sticker works and graffiti on May 19, 2008.

The activity was organized by Pidilite, in association with Smile Foundation.

Smile Children had a good time among the toys, magic materials, fairytale books and other creative stuffs displayed in Hobby Ideas.

After having looked at the whole store for an hour, the children gather in the main hall to wearing aprons. They stared painting plain cardboard boxes with sponge.

After that paint was allowed to dry for few minutes. Children were given animal stickers to paste on the boxes and modge podge to apply on the stickers and the boxes to give it a glowing look.

Besides having a new experience through this creative outing, the children came close to their teachers and instructors in the process.

The creative sessions were followed by a magic show. The magician entertained them with magic on numbers, cards and with thread. The show was highly interactive with lot of participation from children.

The children opted for a delicious lunch of pizza, sandwich and milk shake which was duly obliged.
At the end of the day, Smile children took the boxes, paintings and creative stuffs home as gifts.

Swabhiman organized a meeting for its stakeholders

Swabhiman endeavours to empower the underprivileged women and adolescents in the community and inculcate a health seeking behaviour amongst them by creating awareness on issues concerning Reproductive Health and safe motherhood practices. The project is an initiative of Smile Foundation and is supported by the Population Foundation of India.

With the objective of enhancing the involvement of stakeholders in the project, Smile Foundation under its Swabhiman project held meetings from 11th to 18th Dec’07 with the stakeholders of the project in select urban slum pockets of East and South Delhi. The Aaganwadi Supervisors, the Auxiliary Nurse Maids, the Balwadi teachers, the Pradhan of the community, the local Doctors, community leaders and various other influential people of the vicinity participated in the meetings. Various documents and publications of the project were shared with the stakeholders of the project to ensure their wholehearted involvement in the implementation phase of the project. The meetings ended on a happy note with stakeholders committing cent per cent participation in the project. Smile Foundation is also networking with other civil society partners working in the areas, link up and utilize their expertise or other services like non formal education, nutrition etc. to support the project.

How a few Colleagues at Infosys BPO Made a Big Difference

A few young colleagues at INFOSYS BPO - BT retail night shift wanted to make a difference in the society in an innovative way. After a little discussion there were 130 of them agreeing to do so. But how to do it?

One fine day, they gathered on their office floor, unanimous that they just need to take the first step and begin somewhere. They picked up a slogan “Individually we are one drop, together we are an ocean” from a SMILE campaign under ‘You Can Make A Difference’ programme. Someone threw the idea – “Let’s contribute Rs. 10 each and thus justify the cause we stand for.”

With compassion to do something good for the underprivileged children they stood up for SMILE, without waiting for SMILE to ask for it. Smile appreciates the commitment displayed by these youngsters.

The money thus collected will be dedicated to Smile Foundation’s child education projects in Bangalore.

You need to take a small step to effect big changes, indeed!
