You all must’ve heard this a lot – that the Indian population put together makes up for 1/6th of this planet!! Phew!! But did you know about this tidbit, that the total number of kids in India equals the whole population of US !! Now, isn’t that interesting! ..I kinda like the fact that these numbers match 🙂 …why? Coz US is a major super power, and that is definitely something to look upto, something to aim for…….if all the kids in India can get their act together, they can empower this planet with some additional super power !! India can produce another Obama, another Warren Buffet, another Bill Gates …
But, But, But ….the reality is so much more distant from this epic fantasy that we dream of! Reason being a big chunk of these kids don’t have an opportunity to grow into and be someone who can make a difference in this world! They are not even in a position to get the much needed basic education. Poverty rules the majority of the Indian sub-continent, sad but true 😦 😦 …And that’s where the amazing team of Janyaa steps in….to take a stab at this problem …to enable these poverty-stricken kids to learn, to maximize their potential, to get away from their misfortune and become individuals who can stand on their own feet and yep, get a chance to be another Gates or Buffet!!
Now just how do they do it?? How does Janyaa empower these poor children of India?? Aaahh, I knew you were gonna ask this, and so here I am, ready with the answers 🙂 …..Answer is simple – Science & Math!! Math & Science!! Yep, as simple as that!! Using a variety of practical “learn-by-doing” techniques, Janyaa prepares an assortment of Science and Math kits that are donated in the under-privileged schools of the rural areas……these schools heavily lack in terms of material to provide the basic education to the kids, so they hugely benefit from these kits. Think of these kits as little experiments that you do with stuff around your home to teach your child something ….like boiling water, heating too much?? Yep, reached the boiling point, so the water must evaporate! Something of that sort……It’s like learn through experimentation….learn through practical means!! That’s it, these kits form the crux of Janyaa!!
If the idea of Science & Math kits doesn’t sound compelling to you, listen to these success stories….Janyaa has so far empowered 492 schools and 117,000 students!! That’s a staggering number!!! These little kits of wonder allow the children to turn into creative problem solvers, innovative designers and what not!! And more importantly, enables them to lead lives that are wayyyy different, wayyyyy better than what their parents or grandparents have ever led !! Doesn’t that count?? You bet, it does !!!!
Tempted to be a part of this life-altering program?? You are absolutely welcome!! There are a myriad ways how you can be a part of and do your bit for Janyaa! Donate a bit of your time, a few dollars from your wallet …and if time and money is not what you want to give, hey, how about sharing some of that cool talent you have?? Like you are good at photography, or maybe you can make cool videos, cool posters using graphical skills or perhaps you are one of those awesome engineers of the valley that can come up with great ideas for the Math & Science. Or maybe you love co-ordinating & volunteering events…Ya, all of these talents and more can help Janyaa reach more and more kids!! And if you don’t yet know how you can help, don’t you worry, just that desire to help is more than enough!!
