Project 'Colors of Life' provides an answer to one of our nation's most troubling problems. Although more children are staying in school than in previous years, there are still too many students dropping out, even at the very earliest levels. This problem is especially prevalent among the poor and the disabled. Some studies estimate that as many as 50% of children will drop out before finishing the higher secondary stage. More than half of all children leave school before ninth grade. To reduce these rates, we have to figure out why so many children aren't finishing their studies.
Project 'Colors of Life' is going to start for the students of Navprerna a care-club of Navrachana School, Vadodara Gujarat. `NAVPRERNA`a programme to educate Less Privileged - a care-club of Navrachana School. The children come from slums of Sama Village. The women particiapnts of 'Project Urja - igniting the fire' our first vocational training program started in Baroda, Gujarat also belong to the slums of Sama Village.
Students of 6th and 7th grade would be the part of our Project 'Colors of Life' and we aim to launch the first E-zine of Baroda chapter on 15th August.
We are requesting volunteers to join us at Navrachana School. The timings are 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm on weekdays (twice a week - days would be confirmed soon) and on weekends i.e Saturday (1st and 3rd - 4:00pm to 5:30 pm)

Thank you
For Love
