Procrastination, actual workload, a ‘beautiful’
mind in my skull – have been a few reasons to not to publish any travelogues,
random thoughts and any other post in last few days. Tomorrow morning or better
say within hours I will be riding after a long time and that too to Jaisalmer.
But, before that would like to post a small request to help my
FB/Twitter/Activist friend Tarang organizing Achieve Together Conference.
I want you to close your eyes and think of one person-
that one person who said something to you: told you how much potential you had
to change the world and live life to the fullest, that much beauty lay in your
hands and how that person led by example. You had a role model- it is now time
to pass on the favour. ~ Tarang
This is a one day
conference, at Don Bosco High School, Matunga East on March 10, 2013, with an aim to bring 120 children from across the Megacity together
to be inspired by role models, engage them in some fun learning workshops and obviously
let them have new friends. Vision is the world of tomorrow as being a place
that not only encourages co-operation, sharing, a life of values but also a
love for learning.
The entire day is structured leading us to the vision "learn and inspire, together".
Preparations are going on in full swing- children from all backgrounds are being invited- varied income levels, night schools, special needs children, vernacular medium, home schooled children and so forth. Facilitators have been finalized and Mr Jerry Pinto, the renowned award winning author has confirmed to speak at the conference.

You are cordially
invited to be a part of this conference by helping the NGO shoulders the costs.
A lot many people have came forward, but the costs far outrun what has been
gathered. Could you therefore, contribute to the conference? A contribution of
2000 INR directly goes into helping 30 children learn at a workshop- art,
drama, pottery, tree appreciation, scientific skills and so forth. Funds are
being raised for food- breakfast, lunch and evening snacks. The organization is
committed to using each and every contribution frugally and with wisdom yet not
compromising on quality. All contributions are tax exempted. Their website can
be visited at http://achievetogetherconference.com, contributions can be made here.
