Choti si Khushi

We are a community-based, volunteer-driven organization that offers after-school activities and engagements for young minds. We engage children in development-based activities that creatively engage them and keep them off the streets after school hours. We teach them, but that's not all we do. We provide a platform for children to connect, share, learn and grow. We try to fill in the void in the curricular and extra-curricular growth and development- that is not available to these children at home. We have a completely volunteer-driven approach so we have our volunteers (and kudos to them!) impart knowledge and skills, counsel the troubled kids, listen to them or just spend time with them, all in a community park! Our unique learning process ensures that open spaces help in making children comfortable without introducing the dread associated with classrooms while saving hugely on operational costs. The freedom associated with outdoors is also conducive for a healthier environment. The vagaries of the Delhi weather do not deter our little brave-hearts, who turn up everyday, come rain, sun or freezing cold! The community-based structure ensures that children look forward to this comfortably-paced interaction with their peer group as well, while the parents can also get involved or just observe from the sidelines, if they so wish. Sometimes the parents are happy to learn too, so we have started a literacy class for them too! We ensure that there's something for everybody to do. We have 10 volunteers and over 100 kids from a Jhuggi-Jhopdi cluster who come in everyday and learn a little and teach us a lot. We do not ask for your money, but we do ask for your time. If you have some skills, and if you are willing to spare some time for us, it would be an honor for us to work with you. A skill is a skill, and we have tremendous respect for your skills and sufficient space for you to fit in. Facebook : facebook.com/chotisikhushi.org
