“Many little people, in little places,
doing little things can change the world.”
Eduardo Galeano
Join our network of “Solidarity Schools with Akshy”, take part in the improvement of the life style of those boys and girls, women and the elderly most unfavourably treated in Amwan, Nautapur, Amway Colony and Jaitiya, by helping the children, especially the girls, to have schooling, the women to become empowered and learn a trade and the older people to have at least their basic needs covered.
Between us all let’s change their reality
Between us we can change this reality, we can organize an event to bring about an awareness of it and/or collect funds in your school, or hold a solidarity marathon, a festival of short films, a stall for exchanging toys, a theatre performance, a solidarity picnic, etc. where, besides learning more about the real lives of other children, pupils in your school can collect funds and so contribute to Akshy’s projects in India. A little gesture goes a long way to improving the conditions of the lives of the children, women and old people.
How can your school help?
It’s very easy
Decide on a way all the school can do something like organizing an event to collect funds:
A Solidarity Marathon: :
the sale of shirt numbers for a symbolic price
Festival of short films or music, theatre, literature, etc. with a symbolic ticket price
Exchange of toys for a symbolic price
Solidarity Breakfast:
where the families take cakes, pies, etc.
and slices are sold at a minimum cost
Solidarity Market
Solidarity Sports Day
Solidarity Football Championship
