On the recent occasion of Diwali, the most famous festival in India, we organised the art and craft activity of painting earthen diyas (lighted lamp) and drawing the beautiful Rangoli (traditional Indian art from using coloured sand or powder to decorate floor) to bring out the creative talents of children.
The children from across all of our centres decorated the diyas which were then donated to both needy persons, and also to some police officers at the local station. Our Director Mr. Amit Samuel said the main objective of this activity was to explore the student’s imagination and creativity and explain the word ‘equality’ to the children and to reinforce the importance of showing respect and having an understanding of community religions and important celebrations. As an opportunity to share love some of the students of our Bijnor Center) also took part and visited to respected Officers (District Magistrate (DM) Mr Umesh Tyagi, Mrs. Indoo -Superintendent of Police, and Sanjiv Tyagi) bringing their best wishes, decorated diyas, sweets and colourful greeting cards. Mr Umesh Tyagi returned the blessing giving gift hampers to the children. Mrs. Indoo gave Rs 500 to each child 500 rupees as a token of love and to buy a Diwali gift.It was a very special moment. The officers honoured and appreciated the remarkable work done by Project Help India in their locality of Bijnor and for its role in helping humanity, and specifically the poor and needy in one of Bijnor’s poorest slums. I want to thank our fabulous teachers at Project Help India for your hard work in making this happen. Through this celebration we bring joy, honour and an important sense of identity and pride for our Hindu students, their families and community ...and so much fun too!

I am a teacher, and a Principal. I love education and learning is my passion. I was a school student in the 1970s.
As a small boy I recall watching the re-enactment of Cook’s arrival at Sydney harbour. We came here to celebrate this achievement in Australian history. We were told that it was a glorious most wonderful moment. I was taught as a primary student that this happened peacefully and with the consent of First Nations peoples. I was lied to, I was taught that Cook was a hero. I was lied to. How could I have been so stupid? As a teacher a few decades later I initially continued to tell the lie. Our history curriculum both then and for many years later perpetuated this myth. I am profoundly sorry for this. It was a Year 4 student who I was teaching at the time who put up her hand and asked? "But Mr Thomas, isn't that stealing? It's like someone comes into your house and kicks you out, and now they live there". It took the simple perspective of a child to see it for what it was. This moment for me was powerful and confronting. It was like I was clobbered, there was a sense of revelation and realisation, and in that one moment I realised that I had been lied to, and as a teacher I continued to tell the lie to the next generation. Consent has become an important and powerful word in so many contexts. Yet it did certainly was not considered when my teacher(s) back in the Seventies and Eighties taught me about the 'glorious' Captain Cook. I am pleased to say that our current curriculum now tells the truth. I am proud to say that I work with a generation of teachers who know and seek to tell the truth we are hearing today. But I give this warning, there is opposition by many. There are many who describe the curriculum as liberal, provocative and dangerous. As I listen to the stories of the First Nation people speaking today, and hear of the trauma and grief that you have experienced, that which continues to impact you today, I say... We have heard you We do not want to leave you to struggle for truth and justice on your own We want to stand with you We want to struggle with you. I want to acknowledge after hearing stories of what has been stolen from you, I recognise that for many of you I represent the one who stole from you. I am white, I am male, I am the Principal of a church school, a religious organisation - an organisation that for generations has stolen from you, caused trauma and abuse, stolen family members. I represent fear, pain and unhealed wounds. I have heard you, and I am truly sorry. I live and work in Coogee/Randwick, the land of the Mura Ora Dial clan. Where I live there are 2 monuments standing that for me represent the impact of possession. In the main shopping centre of Randwick stands a monument to Cook and down the hill a concrete storm water drain flows into the ocean at the north end of Coogee Beach. To me this concrete drain pipe represents intrusion and abuse - a gross destruction of place, a place that had been cared for, loved - a source of food, a place of connection for tens of thousands of years. James Baldwin, an African-American activist worked tirelessly for public awareness of racial and colonial oppression worth. He wrote; History is not our past, it is our present. We carry this history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise we are literally criminals. Today, here at Kamay Botany Bay we recognise that when Cook took possession he did so without consent. He committed a crime, not a glorious deed. We continue to commit and repeat Cook’s crime, when we tell the narrative of this false history. and we perpetuate ongoing trauma, we are responsible for keeping the wound open when we continue tell the lie. I acknowledge and renounce the many injustices. Today, we recognise the crime, the lie has been brought into the light, we pray for healing. We work with a shared commitment to tell the truth, with a common memory and a united imagination for the future. One of the most rewarding and satisfying aspects of my work in India is when we can share good news stories about the kids we are able to help. As part of Project Help India's anti-human trafficking work we had the opportunity to work with the state police to help vulnerable children through Operation Mukti.
This week 12 kids were given a hopeful and much brighter future because of the concerted efforts of the team at Project Help who were asked to join in a special operation with the Operation Mukti team. Anti begging - in partnership with the Government Railway Police This week some of the Project Help team travelled to the Haridwar Train Station – a renowned busy place where religious pilgrims, travellers and tourists gather and where children beg. This week, Operation Mukti identified and worked alongside 25 vulnerable children. These kids would normally spend the day begging by the railway, fossicking for recyclable rubbish with many preyed upon to work with local mafia gangs. Many of the girls are sexually abused too, which then ultimately leads to their involvement in prostitution. Through counselling and an intervention program 12 of the kids were enrolled in a local school. Project Help India gave them each a school bag with school books, stationery items and some chocolate too. The police will ensure that these kids are monitored and supported over time. We know from previous experience that starting school plays a vital role in ensuring children's safety and long-term positive life outcomes ...so again, thank you! Also this week, Project Help India was pleased to make a small donation to the Railway Police Station, by purchasing a drinking water dispenser. The police were thrilled and most grateful. At a time when there is so much sad and depressing news around the world, I'm delighted to tell you about two beautiful kids who have been helped by Project help India. Imran aged 12 and nine year old Asma, both attend our new school in Village Dalernagar which opened last month. For these kids the past few weeks have been a life transforming experience. Imran's Story Imran a 12 year old boy, born to a Muslim family of the Gujjar community. His father’s name is Mr. Gulam Rasool and his mother’s name is Mrs. Reshma Khatun. He has a younger brother, Rihan, and a younger sister, Afreen. He lives in a mud house in the middle of a jungle. Imran was once a disobedient, naughty and undisciplined child. He spent his days sleeping, fighting and roaming around, and was famous among the villagers for all the wrong reasons. He has never been to any school or has ever learned to read and write. When the education centre was opened, he was among the first intake. He has been greatly inspired by his teacher Dilshad and his lessons. Once described as a very naughty boy, Imran is now the first to get to class. He tries his best to learn all new things and he enthusiastically participates in all of the activities. He listens to the teacher with curiosity and concentration. The teacher and his parents have observed significant positive changes in Imran. He now wakes up early and revises the lessons taught. He is now rarely involved in fights. …’this once known delinquent has now turned into a decent and hard-working student’. * Imran’s family expresses gratitude and immense happiness for all the positive changes and growth of their son. They thank Project Help India for bringing education in their village and in the lives of children. Asma's Story Asma is a 9 year old girl who lives with her family in the middle of the jungles of Dalenagar. She is the youngest sister among her 4 siblings. Her father Mr.Samshad rears cattle and sells milk, while her mother Mrs Aamna is a housewife. Asma is a cheerful, ambitious and energetic girl who from a young age, has shown interest in learning, saying if only she could go to school. Asma was always interested in playing with books and fascinated by their pictures. Once, her elder brother went to a school in another city and he came back on the holidays. He sometimes brought books back home to give to his little sister. As Asma grew she was not only interested in playing with the books but she also tried to read them. Her dream of learning and to be able to read was only a dream because there was no school in her village or the surrounding area. Little did Asma know her dream was about to come true. Asma was head over heels when she heard that Project Help India was opening a school in her village, She had to wait for 9 years to begin her education and to live her dream. Asma is the one of the most active, intelligent students in her class. She comes to class daily and never misses any work given by her teacher. She completes all her homework and classwork on time. Asma has started recognising the alphabet in her books and she eagerly awaits the time for when she will start reading and understanding. Asma says that she hopes to become a teacher one day, to be able to help other children like her. ‘Her eyes shine with happiness when she talks about going to school and she thanks Project Help India for helping her to take the first step towards her dream’. * For both Imran and Asma, their eyes are beaming with happiness and they have a great sense of pride. I'm so proud of them too! What is needed for these kids to go to school None of our students pay to attend a Project Help Centre. It is thanks to our supporters, who make all of this possible. Currently, it costs approximately $30 a month to pay for a child’s education and meals, and approximately $40 a month to pay for a child’s education and meals at our Slum Disability Centre in Kotdwara. (This cost is currently rising due to a significant increase in the price of food.) This is why we need your ongoing support. If you don't already, would you consider making an annual tax-deductible donation of $360 or $480 to cover the costs associated with a child’s education? Your donation has a very big impact. Some background information about these kids and where they live Project Help India has brought education to these kids, and their community in Northern India, for the very first time . As with our three other schools close by, the location of Village Dalernagar is incredibly remote. This community is isolated due to the mountainous terrain, dense jungle, poor roads, extreme heat in summer, monsoon floods and landslides. A motorbike ride to the closest local school (approximately 20 kilometres away) is not possible for these families that live in poverty. The main source of income for the families in this village is cattle rearing and the selling of milk. These families barely make enough money to survive. They only live with the most basic of basics. There are no healthcare facilities close by. In case of a medical emergency the people have to wait for the next morning to travel to the nearby city of Kotdwara. Without a school there is also little for the children to do. They spend their time sleeping, roaming or working for their family. Teens and pre-teens are particularly at risk of harmful behaviours due to little supervision or monitoring. The traditional practice of Guana, the early marriage of girls from age 13, is also followed by many families. *quoted from ‘Project Help India’ Field Officer’s report (July 22) A child’s education brings purpose for their today and hope for their tomorrow. Through their learning and the safe and supportive environment that a school brings, we are transforming one precious life at a time. If we consider the impact of all teachers and schools globally there is incredible collective transformative power found in education. As Nelson Mandela famously said [1]; “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ...The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.” At ‘Project Help India’ we recognise the privilege that we have in educating the now 315 children who come to our centres 5 days a week to learn and receive a nutritious meal. “To come to school is the biggest gift that I’ve been given.”[2] The kids who attend our schools do so with enthusiasm. They are respectful, cooperative and committed to their learning. They are also grateful knowing how lucky they are, because for most there is no other school to attend. The mountain locations where Project Help works are remote, with many communities further isolated from town centres due to the mountainous terrain, poor roads, frequent landslides, extreme summer heat, monsoon flooding and dense jungle. The cost of fuel makes the daily motorbike ride into town prohibitive for most poverty-stricken families. If the school is within walking distance the kids, especially girls, are often unable to walk there for fear of animal attacks or being raped. There are similar challenges faced by the slum kids in urban areas too. Many boys and girls are unable to attend school because their parents are unemployed, requiring them to undertake labour and household chores, some are married at an early age, there is much family dysfunction, parent illiteracy, a fear of education, not to mention many are impacted by drug and alcohol addictions. To make matters worse, across 2020 and 2012 COVID forced the closure of many small schools, with teachers continuing to leave their jobs in large numbers.
I am thrilled to report that across 2020 and 2021, our students were well cared for during the pandemic. Our Director at Project help India reports; In midst of everything, Project Help India played an important role in providing education during pandemic situations. When the children were forced to sit down at home, children from Project Help India assisted in community help programs. They assisted in ration packaging and distribution done by Project Help India to help poor and needy people which stopped many of them dying of hunger. Due to the negligence of many parents during this online period, the children across India have become addicted to phone, online games and social media and majorly pornography. This was also dealt in an orderly manner by Project Help India, by constantly providing them with interesting extracurricular work, teaching art and craft work, competition programs i.e. food cooking competitions, dance and song practice. We taught our students about their emotions and feelings, and also about the harmful affects of device addiction, pornography. We taught their parents about the need for constant monitoring of them. We also taught our slum kids about the dangers of the Kotdwara slum mafia and kept them safe from gangs, drugs and other harmful behaviours. Our community workers and teachers visited homes, monitored their lessons and welfare, keeping a constant watchful eye over them all. All these activities have helped students to grow, socially interact, and remain in touch with their learning during the pandemic period. As all of our students belong to poor socio-economic groups, it can be duly noted that the loss of skills and learning due to pandemic is more at risk in our children than compared to others. Yet many of our students scored great results in their online and offline exams during the period of pandemic with the assistance of the teachers in our Project Help India. With our New Centre at Village Dalernaga opening in the first week of June, Project Help India is changing lives one community and 50 kids at a time. Check out the STORY here.

[2] Bijnor Student Quote – ‘Happy’s Story’ [3] 2011 National Census of India (2021 Census cancelled due to COVID) [4] https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/2021/ EDUCATION = the passion of a teacher I'm now in my 15th year as a principal and during this time I have always been consistently inspired and energised by these two things; Firstly, I am always inspired by the children who I have the privilege of working alongside each and every day. Children are a joy and each precious individual is remarkable! Secondly, I am always inspired by the teachers, my colleagues, who I work with. At my school (Claremont College, Sydney Australia) my staff team of teachers and support staff is nothing but brilliant. They are caring, hard-working, skilled, and dedicated in all they do. Most importantly, they are passionate about the learning, the safety, the wellbeing and growth of their students. Worldwide, all teachers have complex and challenging roles. It is exhausting work. The work of a contemporary teacher is so much more than what many of us once experienced when we were students ourselves (that’s if you're older like me) ...if only the job was as easy as standing at a blackboard in front of 30 compliant children sitting at their desks. Over the years I've had the wonderful privilege of visiting many schools around the world. One thing that all schools worldwide have in common, are passionate teachers and passionate school support staff ...they are the lifeblood of a great school. Schools ultimately are all about relationships. In all of my travels, I guess I've never been quite so blown away by a teacher I met earlier this year in a local school in Mubende, a remote part of rural Uganda, close to the Congo border. She has 206 kids in her class ...and she is still smiling! I honour this legendary teacher I truly think that this teacher should receive world-wide recognition. Is there an international teaching award that we can nominate her for? (and I don't even know her name). On the day I visited this teacher's Grade 1 classroom she had 206 students present on the roll (and some kids were absent). Some of the students could not literally fit into the classroom space. This teacher told me that she loves her job ... “but it does get challenging at times” she said. You bet it would be challenging! - this teacher is a legend (and so are all the other teachers at this same school, with most classes sizes over 150 children). Here's an 18 second movie file showing the classroom. In it the kids are welcoming me. It's beautiful but check how cramped this classroom is! click link here - 'You are Welcome' The Project Help teachers in Northern India At Project Help India, our seven centres employ 11 teachers and support staff. Meet Mrs Sushila Charles who works with slum kids in Kotdwara. She is a remarkable woman and another inspiring teacher. While her personal life is not easy, she gives everything that is humanly possible to support the academic growth and to care for the vulnerable children in her class. Here is a link to her powerful and inspiring story. Sushila's Story Here One of the reasons why we have been able to set up our seven centres is because wages and costs are comparatively very low to Australia and elsewhere. Sushila’s salary is approximately $100 a month, and with this, she supports her husband and 2 children. This is also why Project Help India relies on the generosity of others. Would you consider making an annual tax deductible donation of $1200 to cover the salary of one of our teachers? Details for making a donation can be found easily at www.projecthelpindia.co. You can message me if you would like to talk to me about how you can help OR if you have a suggestion for how we can encourage the teachers in Mubende in Uganda, and nominate them all for an award (I am serious!). Here I am with my wife Rowena, with Sushila and her students in the Kotdwara slums. We were there in February this year (22).
Education impacts one life at a time
I could no longer count the many kids and parents who I have had the pleasure and privilege of working alongside over my many years of being an educator. I love that my job impacts lives. I am grateful for the thousands of kids who have impacted me, humbled me, and taught me so many things about myself, others, the world and God. I consider it a gift to have learnt with these kids, and to have shared our lives together, in so many ways. It's incredible to think of the unique gift that I have also been given in being able to share my life with some very special children in Northern India. My God!! how much these remarkable kids have shaped and changed me for the better. After meeting that first bunch in 2012, I could not walk away and not do something to help. And it's amazing to think that hundreds, possibly thousands of children now, have attended a ‘Project Help India’ school. In our 3 jungle village schools, because of their remote and dangerous location, the majority of students, especially the girls, only have access to a Project Help education. Our village centres provide the one and only opportunity for the kids to be educated, nurtured and cared for in a school setting. Many (but not all) of our students in the cities of Kotdwara and Bijnor will attend a local government school during the day. These schools are overcrowded, and provide poor and inconsistent levels of academic tuition and generally no wellbeing programs. After school our students then head straight to one of our 3 Project Help centres where they will receive 2.5 hours of tuition as well as a free healthy meal. For our students this meal is better than they would receive at home. The kids go home at around 6pm. In the city all of our students are slum kids and each has a challenging, often desperate home life. As we hear the story of each child we get a glimpse into some heartbreaking circumstances that are impacted and compounded by the vicious cycle of poverty. We provide our students and their families with ongoing counselling, social work support, advocacy and if needed, emergency aid (for example feeding the entire family during the COVID lockdowns in 2020 and 2021). Priyanshu’s Story Priyanshu Kumar, is 13 years old and is in Grade 7. He is from a very poor family from the Kotdwara slums. Last year his father died during the COVID pandemic. Soon after this, his younger brother also caught COVID and tragically died as well. The grief of this situation impacted Priyanshu greatly and he became incredibly lonely. The pain of missing his brother resulted in him becoming withdrawn, selective mute and socially anxious. His school grades declined and he received no support or counselling for the trauma that he was experiencing. Priyanshu’s mother is a house maid and works in many homes trying to earn enough to support herself and her son. For fear for her son’s safety, she would lock him in the house after school (he also attends a government school during the day) and into the late hours of the night, whenever she could get work. This compounded the situation making Priyanshu fearful of others and refusing to speak to anyone. Priyanshu’s teacher describes the situation; Priyanshu says that he was really sad to stay at home but he understands his mother's concerns and that's why never threw a tantrum for this and quietly obeys her. After the death of his father all the responsibilities of a family were transferred to his mother and hence he never disobeyed his mother as he understood the burden she was carrying. His mother was also worried for him getting worse but was bound by her own conditions. When she came to know about the ‘Project Help City Centre’, she contacted the Director, Mr. Amit Samuel, and the General Secretary, Mrs. Daisy Samuel, about her conditions and her misfortune. Priyanshu was given admission and at first, he was very shy and apprehensive. However, he now attends the classes enthusiastically and also is trying to mix with the other children. He comes to the tuition on time and with neat and clean clothes which shows that he is dedicated towards his studies. While he takes time to understand his work, he shows great determination to learn. Priyanshu and his mother both are immensely thankful to Project Help India. We are all very confident that he will reach new heights. I am so excited that after being with us for just 2 months, Priyanshu is making many friends. He is learning and making good academic progress. The consistency of school routines and the nurture and kindness of his teacher makes him feel safe. We are excited for his future and count it a privilege to educate and care for him. I want to be known - to be understood, respected, valued and treated kindly by the people around me. Don’t you?
Living and learning together in an inclusive ‘belonging’ community is found at the heart of any good school. This is one of the things I love about education, and why I love my job ...it’s a privilege being a School Principal. A great school values connection and relationships, embracing and celebrating the wonderful diversity that is found in the mix of all those who form part of that community. This is why I love my school! In schools we celebrate birthdays, significant achievements, national days, religious and cultural traditions, and so much more. Schools are places of excitement as we come together to learn about each other, celebrating people and the things that are individually and collectively important to us all. A school community I believe, provides us with opportunities to teach children about how our wider community can and should be. We are providing them with a powerful model packaged with the tangible experiences to learn about how our world can be ...a world we all hope and pray for. Our seven ‘Project Help India’ schools are filled with much cultural diversity, and we value, embrace and celebrate this. Just this week it was a privilege to share the message of the Easter story with all of our students. They especially loved the egg painting. In a few weeks we will celebrate alongside our Muslim staff and the many students from the Muslim Jungle Villages and slums, who on 1st May, will finish their Ramadan season. Then later this year in October we will celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, with those of Hindu, Muslims, Sikh and other faith backgrounds. When we celebrate alongside one another we show that we value, respect and have an openness to learn and understand from each other’s stories. And as we do this, we find solidarity in the things that we have in common, the things that our world so desperately needs ...love, empathy, compassion, unity, safety, peace, acceptance and so much more. Regardless of our race, religion or creed, let’s work and strive together for a world that we all pray and hope for …for our communities, our families and children, and for generations to come. I want to thank the supporters of Project Help India for your generous giving - you are indeed changing the world by changing the lives of some very special kids in Northern India, through their attendance and education received at one of our schools. Don't also forget about the impact you can have by volunteering and helping out at your child's local school. They need all the support, and especially the encouragement they can get ...especially the teachers (and I reckon your principal too!) If you liked this story, please share it on your social media. The link is here. It would really help us. Thank you. I wish you a Happy Easter – may the hope, peace and love of Jesus be yours this Easter. To receive an education is one of the fundamental rights of being human. We may take this for granted but unfortunately many children, especially girls and those with disabilities, have unequal, limited or no access to an education, let alone attend a school that provides access to a quality curriculum that is delivered by qualified, caring and loving teachers ...this is something that we can take very much for granted in the part of the world where I live and work (in the best school ever -ha!)
The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights when published and adopted in 1948 was, and continues to be, a milestone document. For the first time, the world had a globally agreed document that marked out all humans as being free and equal, regardless of sex, colour, creed, religion or other characteristics. Sadly, it seems that our world needs to stop and recognise this more than ever before. At one of my passion projects Project Help India, our key priority is advocacy for the right for vulnerable (all from poor and marginalised communities) to receive an education. Here are some of the beautiful faces of the 265 children who attend our 7 small centres in Kotdwara and Bijnor in Northern India. When the kids are at school their lessons include Hindi, English, spelling, maths, art, poetry, writing, drama, games, environmental care, body parts and body safety, health, hygiene and safety. It’s also an important priority for us to celebrate the cultural and religious traditions of the unique and diverse communities that are part of. We seek to give them hope for the future, to understand that they are precious individuals, and to give them skills and understanding to be contributing citizens who will flourish in life. If you go to the OUR SETTING page on the Project Help India website you will learn more about our schools. School is back and we are all relieved and delighted
For the past 2 weeks our 9 education centres across three states in Northern India have resumed their full delivery of classes, along with a daily meal for each child, 5 days a week. COVID has not stopped the kids from coming to school, in fact we have more students than ever! Another 100 students have started at our 2 centres in Punjab bringing our current total enrolments across the 9 centres to 542 students. 18 months of continuous lockdown for most children With the exception of a few short weeks last week, our centres have not been fully ‘open’ since March 2020. We honour our teachers, project officers and the leadership team who despite the most difficult of circumstances have worked tirelessly to continue to care for our students and their families - feeding them when hungry, supporting mental health issues, checking in on their physical safety, not to mention providing for their ongoing learning with the delivery of worksheets and lessons when possible to their homes. The children are smiling and great happiness fills the classrooms. Isn’t this what it’s all about! When I reflect on the core purpose of Project Help India, it starts with the kids. The COVID lockdown and the challenges that we have and will continue to face remind me of why I am so passionately dedicated to the cause of education. Globally, we must get children back to school safely and quickly. Whether it’s in Australia, or in one the remotest parts of the planet in Northern India... schools worldwide, are places of hope, health, happiness …and magic! Hope When I think of hope I think of children learning - equipping them with the skills for their success both for their present life circumstances as well as giving them a sense of purpose, confidence and optimism for a bright future. Hope is found where parents work hard for their family, contributing to the good of others and the strength of the community for generations to come. Health When I think of health I think of children’s safety - their physical and emotional health and wellbeing, their nutrition and not going hungry. Health is found in an inclusive community where all children, regardless of their gender, creed, abilities or disabilities have equal access to the resources required for them to live and to learn well. Happiness When I think of happiness, I think of the joy and wonder of childhood, the friendship, fun games, sports, and having a second family at school where they are loved, valued, are ‘known’ and belong. Happiness is found in a place filled with culture, art, dancing, music and curiosity – discovering and nurturing the talents and gifts of each remarkable individual child. Happiness is found in a community where children laugh with joy, bringing smiles and fond memories to the elderly who sit and watch nearby. It’s at school where the magic happens Please help www.projecthelpindia.co to make the magic happen. If you can, we would value your generous donation to resource our schools. We can’t wait to share some of the stories about our schools and students over the weeks to come. |
