Education can
change a society and it needs proper guidance. We the members of “You Can
Change One” take an initiative step to guide the basti pupils. We started to
provide free education. After 2 months of teaching at Basti(Slum),we decided to
gather more children from the slum. Therefore it needed some attraction. We
decided to make some program, so that more students can be attracted to our
organization. We talked to local leaders about it. They said it is a very
good initiative and they will help us to do the program success.
First we talked to the Basti committee about our program. They
appreciate it .We said we are planning to organize drawing and singing
competition. They request us to add sports 100mt, 200mt running (separate boys and girls)
, Puchi (girls). We appreciate their suggestions but we have not enough money
to arrange the sports. They told us that committee will help us for sports and
they will discuss about it with other members in their meeting.
We were ready for our program. We calculate the estimates. It
will cost around 7000/- to 8000/- to make our program, smoothly. We talk to
tent house for 100 chairs,5 guest chairs, back side banner, 3- dari, 1 mike
set for the open stage of the basti. Then we talk to Sudarsana Dash (socialist)
about the program. We fix it on Sunday 21-02-2016. We bought prizes and all
other necessary things.
We make posters for social media. We invite our friends to
attend the 1st convention. We gave advance for the videography and
tent house. Now it looks like a huge public program. We think to arrange more
2000/- . In this way we can handle any adverse situation may arise. So we
request our friends (who are doing jobs) to donate some amount.
Everything is going very well.
On date 19-02-2016, evening Basti Committee called us and
said they can’t give the stage. We talk to them, what the problem is all about.
We guess that they may be thinking it as political show. But actually they said
that they talk to other members. Committee asking about slum Durga Puja
collection dispute. So without clearing there dispute they can’t give us the
stage.
We are surprised that without a stage how Sudarsan Dash
will react. Because we already talk to him to attend the program on 21-02-2016
at 4.00pm. We talk to tent house for a wooden stage. They said it will cost
9000/-. Its looks like
that the program may be canceled. What about the children of basti , Who are so
much interested to take part in the competition. So we think to do the program
without stage.
Now we have to talk with Mr Sudarsana Dash,
about the problem. We met him. He said this is not a big issue. Without stage
he can visit to us. So now we think to eliminate sports and do the drawing and
singing competition. We want to encourage children for the social changes and
the date same as we decided.
