AAs- Aim for the awareness of society

BACKGROUND

2003: a group of seven development professionals came together to give shape to their dreams of making this world a better place. That was how “AAS”- which in Hindi means “Hope for positive change”- was established. At the outset the organization understood that its domain needs to be as wide as the issues faced by the millions of underprivileged in the nation. The Indian State, even though it is a democratic one, has failed to rescue the majority of its citizens from the clutches of prejudice, superstition, and caste-biases. As Mahatma Gandhi noted- “Poverty is the worst form of violence” and it will take the nation decades if not centuries to come near the kind of Ram-rajya Gandhi had envisioned.

It is the endeavour of AAS to serve this unequal society and make it more bearable. As the name suggests- it fights against misinformation and narrow-mindedness, discrimination and bigotry. It has taken up the cause of female infanticide by organizing skits and nukkads in streets of Indore- particularly its slums. It also attacked middle class complacency through its mime shows highlighting the importance of our vote during the 15th Indian General Election. In addition AAS has also been involved in water & sanitation projects, HIV awareness campaigns as well as Blood Donation initiatives. While most of this NGO’s activities have taken place within the district of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, it aspires to reach a national footprint in the years to come.

On 5th May 2005 the organization was registered under Madhya Pradesh Societies Act 1973. Its Registration No is 03/27/3/0431/05.

Major Activities

1. Children centre

AAs has five slum level

centers in Indore, with

the aim of providing

recreation, value-based

education and

vocational training to

the children coming

from economically and

socially weaker

sections.

Each slum has been divided into 2 children groups comprising of 10

children. The main objective behind the formation of these groups is to

impart education on hygiene and development of little doctors who can

spread the hygiene related issues amongst other children.

The centre gives

special emphasis on the

promotion of education of

"girl child". The centre and

its teachers strive hard to

make the students

responsible and resilient

citizens, because, we at AAs

think that “Every child is a bud, which is waiting to be nourished, to bloom

into a flower”.

The children are exposed to interactive classes with personalities from

different walks of life. They are also initiated to take part in various

activities such as quiz, declamation, singing, dancing, sports and physical

education etc. that would help in empowering the children with

knowledge and information. The students are also taken for periodic

excursion trips, for example, the recent trip to Dalhousie, Himachal

Pradesh, to stimulate and widen their perceptions of the realities of life

and the environment we live in. Our role as a guide is to observe and

nurture them to the best of our ability.
