Something for the Kids...


A few days back, around children's day some of us at Inkfruit had gone and hung with some street kids. Teaching them. It could be called social service but we found it a very fulfilling and enjoyable activity.
For most people their interaction with these kids ends when they find their clean car glasses touched by filthy hands or hear the droning noise of a beggar kid asking repeatedly for food.

However you might be surprised actually interacting with these kids, teaching them, can make you see so many treasures they have within themselves like all other kids! It is sad to see these beautiful qualities go waste because of scarce opportunities.
So we decided to do our bit from Inkfruit. We had some 1,500 t-shirts printed for these kids with some really funky designs, and have contacted NGO's to whom we will be giving tees so they can distribute them to the kids they are taking care of.

One such NGO we have gone to and personally distributed tees to kids was Salaam Baalak Centre in Chowpatty. They have around 75 kids.... and it is a quaint little place where these kids are taught, given food etc..

We did not photograph the kids with tees and stuff cause the organization has the policy of respecting a kids right to privacy and not taking their photos which reveal their identity.

We will be giving more tees to other NGO's will keep you'll updated on that front.
