Non Formal Class at Sukhpur:

YMC is running a school in a one room tenement at Sukhpur, Mumdra Taluka in Kutch for children of a disadvantage segment of society. There are 20 children in the school. These are children of those parents who are either engaged in cutting of woods for fuel and charcoal, and want their children to help them in their work, or are of separated parents. Most of the children are dropouts too. YMC teacher, Joroben gives them special training, as per their respective syllabi (Bridge Training) and gets them enrolled in the appropriate class in a government school. The school in turn tests them before admission. So far, Joroben has helped 60 such children get enrolment in government school - all children of Muslim parents. Simultaneously, she imparts training in stitching and tailoring skills to teen aged girls.
Here is an opportunity to pay back to society by supporting these efforts of YMC. An opportunity, particularly, for authorities such as Port Managements and other organisations, both in the public and private sector, who, as CSR Chief of an International Container Service put it, “earn generously from the sea.”
