Submitted by rajat on

Come Diwali and there is celebration all around. The festival of lights also brings with it the opportunity to see the beautiful fireworks. At the same time, many of us are aware where these fire crackers come from. Our celebration comes at the cost of hundreds of thousands of child labours many of whom will die before celebrating their 18th birthday. Celebrations or Cause?

Let's discuss what we can do.

2 years of Kashmir earthquake

Submitted by rmourya1 on

Exactly 2 years ago Sankalp reached out to the people who were affected by the earthquake at Kashmir. As we remember the people who died and were affected in some way or the other by this natural calamity we though it will be a good idea to ask the volunteers to share their experiences about Project Koshish..

Pathetic Fire Safety and Rescue

Submitted by pravsripad on

Fire Safety in India is an all time low profile, almost unheard of thing.
Prevention is better than cure, but if there is no prevention, atleast good rescue and post fire accident intensive care must be looked upon.
This is in a pathetic condition in Bangalore.
The hospital will kill the accident victim before the fire burns do so. The government hospital, burns ward in Bangalore is hell......
Anything even the slightest exercise of good will in this regard will give hope to those who have burned it all........
