"We have learned new things, and are ready for more responsibilities", says Sanjana. She studies in the 9th grade and is one of the volunteers from Kabir Basti, a village in #Kathura block of #Haryana's #Sonipat district. Sanjana's group includes Rajni (11th grade), Neha (9th grade), Shalu (11th grade), Sheetal (10th grade), Ritika (9th grade) and Tamanna (9th grade) live in Gudda-A division of Kabir Basti. Whereas, Nikki (9th grade) and Jyoti (12th grade) hail from the Gudda-B division. These girls have volunteered for preparing the Village Report Card and also volunteer for Pratham's library program. "We got an opportunity to visit our neighbouring village, and it was a wonderful experience", says Sheetal. These girls visited Ahulana -A and Ahulana- B villages for preparing the village report card and cherish the experience. "Talking to strangers was fun", says Tamanna. Her sentiment is echoed by others who admit that travelling outside their village was like an adventure and interacting with people not belonging to their village was an experience in itself. But the journey was full of difficulties. "Many villagers did not entertain us", recalls Nikki. "Some families did not agree that their children face difficulty in reading. But when we asked the children to read, they had to accept", says Ritika.  But how has this experience changed them? "This experience has made us bold and confident. We want to explore more villages now", says Neha. “I can talk to people and express myself. Earlier I was shy", says Shalu. "We will talk to our parents and convince them to allow us to travel and spread the message of learning", says Jyoti, the eldest of them all. This group of young volunteers is excited to work with us and wants to make a positive difference by asking everyone in the community to contribute to improving the #learning levels of children. #Education #HamaraGaon #MondayMotivation #MondayInspiration #Monday

Taronish Bulsara, a BMM graduate, found himself right back to his childhood love when instead of pursuing his field, he decided to work strongly on the organization he had founded. World For All has paved a bright and sturdy career path for Taronish. He has been an avid animal lover, right since he first laid eyes on one! He was known to rescue goats and sparrows and every single little creature that needed help right since he was a little boy. Taronish was never allowed to have pets as a child. His first dog Friskey came into his life around the same time as the beginning of World For All. WFA has also given him a very beautiful Nehza, a cruelty case and Joey a little three legged puppy who came to be fostered and stayed on with us, spreading their love and happiness to one and all. He has animals coming in and going out all the time and he enjoys every bit of his day looking after them. As a social entrepreneur, Taronish has been extremely instrumental in changing the plight of stray animals by means of rescue, adoption and sterilization, creating a nation wide system of fostering, and creating the Adoptathon ( Asia's largest animal adoption camp. Taronish has taken the organization to great lengths and continues doing so everyday. To help Taronish in making this world a safe place for animals, donate at Fankind and also win a chance to bake a cake with Alia Bhatt!
