AWAAZ DO!


What Is AWAAZ DO & How Can I A Make A Difference?
All children 6 to 14 years old have the right to free and quality education under the recently passed Right to Education Act.

The RTE Act specifies minimum norms in government schools. It requires all private schools to reserve 25% of seats for children from poor families (to be reimbursed by the state as part of the public-private partnership plan).

The Act also provides that no child shall be held back, expelled, or required to pass a board examination until the completion of elementary education. There is also a provision for special training of school drop-outs to bring them up to par with students of the same age.

The RTE Act is the first legislation in the world that puts the responsibility of ensuring enrolment, attendance and completion on the Government.

The Right to Education of persons with disabilities until 18 years of age has also been made a fundamental right. A number of other provisions regarding improvement of school infrastructure, teacher-student ratio and faculty are made in the Act.
To make the Right to Education Act successful, it is important that each one of us knows about it so that every child who is not in school can be sent back for free and quality education.

The time is NOW! Make A Difference.
Stand up and make some noise! Join the Awaaz Do movement by signing up now for India's children. Ask your friends to be a part of getting every single girl and boy into school. Do it now for India's future.

Come forward and donate to UNICEF to help change 8 million lives.

Spread the word to your family and friends. You can SMS, e-mail or just talk to them and ask them to speak up and raise their voice for children. One voice makes a difference but together we can help change the fate of 8 million children. The time to begin is NOW!

Find a school near you and make a visit. Check if the school has:

• Separate toilets for boys and girls.
• Drinking water and places for students to wash their hands with soap.
• Playgrounds for playing sports and having fun.
• A school library for students and their teachers.
• Mid-day meals for children.

You can meet the school head, teachers, community members and even the parents of children enrolled there and talk to them about the RTE Act. Let them know about the highlights and let them know how every child can benefit.


Awaaz Do!

UNREQUITABLE LOVE: TO MY VALENTINE

This is a feeling that I feel should not be felt
Expressing it is something that I must do
But your same feelings never will be dealt
How could you ever think that this be just?

At times it hurts so much I can not think
About you or I can't stop wondering
How great it would feel if you had turned pink
When I told you that you made my heart sing

I wish I could accept the simple fact
That "you and me" is only in my head
You've told me that you'll never love me back
These feelings must subside or I'll be dead

I fear I might not realize in time
That your heart will not beat in sync with mine.

LOVE STORY


‘Hey, Oliver, did I tell you that I love you?’
‘No, Jen.’
‘Why didn’t you ask me?’
‘I was afraid to, frankly.’
‘Ask me now.’
‘Do you love me, Jenny?’
She looked at me and wasn’t being evasive when she answered:
‘What do you think?’
‘Yeah. I guess. Maybe.’
I kissed her neck.
‘Oliver?’
‘Yes?’
‘I don’t just love you…’
Oh, Christ, what was this?
‘I love you very much, Oliver.’    
I know you don’t need an introduction about Erich Segal… He contributes beautifully written and profoundly moving fiction to the world of literature... His work Love Story has no exemption… It’s a romantic story like the title suggests, love between Oliver Barret IV and Jenny Cavilleri. Oliver is from a rich family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in Law. Jen is a wisecracking working class lass studying music at Radcliffe.


Oliver and Jenny immediately got attracted to each other even though they are opposites in nearly every way. They started sharing love that defies everything… But it will find its end soon. It is a Love that will linger in everyone’s heart, now and forever.


I can’t suggest a better read for this Valentine’s Day.


Books and Bookmen defined it well… ‘Simplicity… charm… compassion and a delicate sense of comedy. It illustrates a point: “Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry. “ That is well said.’
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

FIRST LOOK: MY LOGO


MONEY VERSUS LOVE


If you have more than enough Gandhi heads, but the one you love isn’t yours, can you say that your life is beautiful???
NO will be the answer, at least for me. There are certain things that you love to have but will be far away from you… Religion, career, age, family, class, color… etc comes in between you and them… you can buy anything with money, but the one you love might not lend her soul to you…
You may miss someone passed away or you might miss someone went far away from you. What if you miss someone you talk frequently and see at a regular manner??? It’s an excruciating thing… hope you people don’t have to suffer like I do… god bless!
