About:
My name is Moulik. I am 16-years-old and a Grade 10 student at DPS, Greater Noida.
I have always been a village boy at heart yearning to bathe in borewell water or running among trees. It is distressing to know that many from such a humble places are going through immense hardships. I am a taekwondo champion and sports enthusiast. I need open fields and people around me so I can be a better man. Studying and keeping grades up is just essential as social work and service. And I am not one to shy away from work. All of us have come from the soil of some quaint town or village. It makes the most sense to me to give back to the community and ensure quality in education, and life of those who are underprivileged. Every single person, child or adult must recieve education so that they are independent and informed. I as a teenager understand the importance of living a life outside of the social constraints. An education provides that opportunity to all.
I have undertaken this because I was surprised to learn that many students from low-income homes in Uttar Pradesh, who go to school (mainly govt schools) do not have basic school gear like proper footwear or a school bag and often sit on the hard ground in order to study at school.
Sitting down on the floor for long periods of time means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related problems. It also has an indirect impact on their eyesight and their ability to concentrate and study. Lack of footwear also leads to foot-related diseases and health issues.
The back-to-school kit costs just INR 900 and gives students a pair of recycled footwear, a recycled study mat to sit comfortably at school or home, and a recycled school bag for books. This is a very small amount to impact a student. Each kit costs just INR 900 including the cost of distribution. Fund INR 1800 for example and transform the lives of 2 students.
Please support my campaign and let us together impact the health, attendance, and grades of these fellow students. This kit also brings a big smile to their faces and gives them a lot of confidence.
