The Diwali festival was celebrated with great enthusiasm, where children showcased their talents through rangoli, dance, and song performances. All the children received gifts, including t-shirts, socks, and pants, and were visibly happy. Migrant children participated in the festival alongside their parents, displaying their cultural heritage and traditions. The event allowed them to reminisce about their homeland, make new friends, and create lasting memories.

Today, I had the profound privilege of virtually visiting a street school in Haryana, organized by I-Light Global, where migrant children—who often face exclusion from the formal education system due to lack of residency proofs—are given a rare chance to learn and grow. This small but vibrant school, nestled under the trees, is not just about academic education; it’s a space where these children are being taught invaluable life skills, societal values, and ethics that are often overlooked in many other educational systems.
One of the most impactful aspects of this school is the emphasis on values like humility, respect, and empathy. These young minds are being taught not only to excel academically but also to embody the values that shape them into compassionate and responsible citizens. These are qualities that, sadly, are often lacking in highly educated children who might not have the same sense of community or respect for others. The children here are being molded into young individuals who understand the importance of kindness and integrity. In life, there come moments when we find the opportunity to make a meaningful difference, to give back to our community, and to discover a profound sense of purpose through acts of kindness. My recent collaboration with i Light Global to organize a dance workshop for underprivileged children was one such transformative experience.
The primary objective of this workshop was to dismantle the barriers that often hinder underprivileged children’s access to the arts. We firmly believed in the potential of dance as a medium to empower these young souls. Dance, as an art form, knows no boundaries, and our mission was to convey that message loud and clear. On May 13, 2023, a homeopathy camp was organised in the slums of Trilokpuri by I Light Global in collaboration with Dastak NGO under the supervision of Dr. Pratima Grover, aiming to provide healthcare support and guidance to the underprivileged residents..
Dr. Pratima Grover is a specialist doctor in homeopathy with an experience of over 35 years in this field. In addition to her proficiency in homeopathy, she possesses extensive insight in the realm of Nutrition and has been actively counseling individuals on this subject for numerous years. Drawing upon her comprehensive understanding of both homeopathy and Nutrition, Dr. Pratima Grover has played a pivotal role in positively transforming the lives of numerous individuals, helping them to overcome various illnesses and ailments. Dismal performance by India in GHI 2022 – Project MOGRA deals with eliminating Hunger in Migrant Children
Dr Rajeev Nagpal / Abhiram rao / Dr Pranav / Shailesh Gupta Introduction I Light Global is a non-profit supporting rights of children across the world with particular focus on Migrant children. Project Mogra – Meals of Gratitude was started in Year 2021 after the GHI index for India was reported at 101. Let’s try to understand the problem of hunger and some solutions created . Mental health is an integral component of health. According to WHO, “Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” Stigma is a term used to describe unfavourable attitudes or ideas held about a person because of a defining attribute, such as mental illness. The purpose of this essay is to examine how stigma is a barrier to mental health and how to overcome such cultural and often self-imposed barriers in diverse communities.

https://www.verywellfamily.com/competition-among-kids-pros-and-cons-4177958 Competition is just in the nature of our world. It happens everywhere, especially as a child, whether competing for the top spot at the nearby school, or playing a sport, such as cricket or football/soccer. Children, however, react to competition in different ways. Some rise to the challenge and enjoy the struggle that it takes to reach the top of the podium. Sadly, others cave in from the pressure and stress that occur when pushed to excel, burning them out from the activity they enjoyed previously. Lifelong learning begins as early as your infant years. An infant is taught by their mother on how to crawl, walk, speak, and eat. That’s only the beginning of the infant’s learning path, and this pattern will continue as they gain more mentors in every leap they take. Getting education is a fundamental right of children. On the other hand, teaching itself also cultivates the mind, since you have to explain complicated topics in words that your student will understand. I was able to have an opportunity to teach a class about saxophone for I LIGHT students. The class discussed the parts of the saxophone, the genres of saxophone, and some famous saxophonists as well. Overall, it went close to how I thought it would go, and I was able to get an insight from teaching my short class.
