We are delighted that our first project is a partnership with 'Hamara School', an eductional institution for underprivileged children in Goa, as the NGO for our first project.

The school is an informal teaching institution and takes care of slum children by overseeing their educational needs. Most children live in nearby shanties but come to the 'school'  before their own formal school begins for the day.  There are also about 40 children who live in a hostel in the premises.

At Hamara school (meaning "Our School" in Hindi) lessons are revised, homework is looked at, problems are sorted. The children are also given meals and help with hygiene. 

Violin classes began in January 2010. We were delighted to introduce flute/recorder lessons in 2011 as well. 

In 2012, Child's Play will move into Kolkatta, with violin lessons for children at The Philanthrophic Society of the Orthodox Church(http://thepsoc.org), which runs orphanages and schools for underprivileged children.
