“Their parents,who are labourers do not have wherewithal to drop the kids at school because of their work schedules and they will also not risk letting their kids go to school alone because of which many children stopped going to school. So,we we started running a bus service to drop these children to school,” says Yagyaseni Bareth,an M.Phil student of the School of Social Sciences (SSS) and an active member of Abhigyan.

Recently,the group organised a photo-exhibition—’Revealing the lives of Nameless Children,’ to raise funds for children living on construction sites. The exhibition that was held at JNU,displayed photographs taken at various construction sites inside the campus.

Taking the exhibition forward,one of the members of the group,an Italian student,Maria Rosario Centrone,who is also Abhigyan’s coordinator for 2010,is planning to do hold a similar exhibition in Italy. “An association called ARCI (Italian Recreational and Cultural Association) is organising a series of ‘ethnic dinners’ for Christmas in my town (Molfetta,Bari). Many of my friends are part of this organisation and one of them asked me to prepare an Indian one. I suggested the dinner be linked with the ‘Nameless Children’ photo-exhibition and to use both of them to collect money for Abhigyan,” says Maria.

Apart from Maria,Theresa Zimerman,a German scholar and a member of Abhigyan is also planning to organise a postcard campaign in Germany.
