  • Sanjay Kumar leaves for a career with HSBC in Bangalore


    Sanjay Kumar who many official visitors to our programmes will know, (as he was our meet and greet person in Delhi) has succesfully secured a post in Bangalore.
    Seen here celebrating with some of his fellow CAPS students (Childrens Academic Personal Scholarships), we also wish Sanjay well in his new life.
    You can help a student complete their studies, both young men and women, by visiting our " from grinding poverty to graduation" page at www.globalgiving.com.
    Sanjay has already made arrangements to donate 10% of his salary to help other students fulfill thier dreams, and thanks must to his sponsors too for helping Sanjay succesfully complete his studies.


     

  • Another successful family planning camp at Kanjiar

    At our Kanjiar Rural Centre recently over 80 women received free operations sponsored by our Health Project Partners in the UK, Health for All. This procedure completely changes the quality of life for so many women and is their preferred choice of family planning. One of the government surgeons who performed the operations informed our staff that this camp was the best organised and most professional he had ever seen in Bihar.

  •  Sunil from ASHA Silicon Valley on a previous visit to Rescue Junction

    As reported on the front page due to wonderfull support from the USA Rescue Junction doors have remained open and will remain open until the end of the year. It is hoped that support will continue in the future from our supporting organisations in the USA  and elsewhere, so this vitally important centre can continue to provide its much needed services to the most vulnerable of children.

    This liitle girl was found wandering lost and alone and seperated from her family by the Government Railway Police and like all missing children  found in Gaya District was brought to Rescue Junction. Seen here bieng reunited with her parents after counselling and the location of her family by the staff at Gaya Rescue Project, it  really is amazing that there is no other facility in the entire district, or the whole of South Bihar for that matter,for such children.  We invite Railway Children and other organisations to please consider visiting this project. Without Rescue Junction the risk of these children being kidnapped , becoming street children or simply disappearing is very great indeed.  Whilst rescuing missing children is a vital part of the role of the project, it also provides a night shelter, vocational training .food, education support and legal advice to street and railway children. In addition it works closely with the local government childrens jail in the fields of child rights and juvenile justice.
