Share the journey of Colorss | Lets walk together
|
It's been quite sometime I have not shared the developments of Colorss. First of all I am really thankful to everyone without whom we could not reach here at this stage. Still remember the day when we started 2 years nine months ago we had only ONE child and today we realize that we have grown up.. at a speed, with progress, with dedication, with your support and trust. Yes, not to mentioned those countless hurdles, difficulties and moments that gave us sleepless nights.
Today we are present at four schools and two cities in two states:
- Mahadji Shinde High School, Pune Municipality School at Pune Cantonment Board
- Dr. Ambedkar Memorial School, Pune Municipality School at Pune Cantonment Board
- Guru Rabindranath Tagore School, Pune Municipality School, Pune
- Navprerna - a care club of Navrachana School, Baroda, Gujarat (Navrachana is an independent, co-educational, English medium school. It is one of the premier schools of Gujarat. Each year it attracts the brightest students who wish to follow the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi (CBSE) curriculum.)
Projects:
Project Enhance :- Project Enhance uses sport and the arts as tools to promote physical well-being while improving mental health. Mental health is not just the absence of mental disorder; rather, it is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. In India, even today girl child is considered as a liability and is often ignored; even harassed and molested. Project Enhance is targeted at empowering the girl child through a blend of martial arts and creative arts resulting into increased self-confidence and improved academic performance as a result.
Project 'Colors of Life' :- 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 Urja - igniting the fire within :-Project Urja - igniting the fire within is our first vocational training program started in Baroda, Gujarat. The project aims at the empowerment of women. It aims at providing vocational training to women especially for women from underprivileged sections of the society. Project Urja is an initiative to make Colorss a self-sustained model.
Number of students: Project Enhance :- 100 girls Project 'Colors of Life' :- 65 children Project Urja - igniting the fire within :- 15 women from slums under-going training Holistic Programs for a child - specially for Guru Rabindranath Tagore School - 50 students
Today we have approximate 215 children and 15 women at Colorss. The numbers are fluctuating due to unstable family cohesiveness, poor financial condition of the family, child is asked to work and avoid school, broken-family, distance between the school and home and other factors.. We have our limitations as we are still very young and we need a lot of support to address these grass-root level problems.
Small steps leads to Big Change For Love Anand

Teacher Training Workshops | Pune
|
The Colorss Foundation recently conducted a series of teacher-training workshops in order to better understand the problems that teachers and the children they teach face in their daily lives. The workshops aimed to provide teachers with a background in how to help students and parents get the best out of their education, as well as provide support in how to handle the stress that sometimes comes with teaching.
The workshops divided participating teachers into groups of 6 or 7, where they were free to discuss some of the frustrations and problems they encountered in their teaching careers. Many brought up issues with children not completing homework and not paying attention in class. Additionally, they felt that rowdy children disturbed the class as a whole, and many students who came from a background of abuse and violence brought such behaviors with them into the classroom. Furthermore, teachers agreed that there was a general attitude of pride in misbehaving and disrespect and ingratitude towards the teacher and the teaching facilities.
The groups then discussed possible solutions to these problems. They suggested that there should be more discipline in classes, and that their students should be taught the value of a free education. The teachers also agreed that training teachers in how to control difficult children and in how to better motivate children in class would be helpful.
The general reception of the workshop was mixed – some teachers were pessimistic and reluctant to learn new teaching methods, while some were eager to welcome new ideas.

New Sessions starts from June 2011
|
June 2011 new session, new school; Dr. Ambedkar Memorial School, Pune Cantonment Board is our new school where we would be starting our both the projects. Special focus would be on self-defense for the girls. This makes our reach in two schools in Pune Cantonment Board. Both these schools are municipality marathi medium schools. Mahadji Shinde High School where we already have the projects will see new admissions and quite possible couple of new additions to the existing curriculums. June 2011 is going to be very exciting; this season we are ADDING dance therapy, teacher-training, psychological testing for the teachers and students, video tutorials, computer-games for brain stimulations and more advanced martial art trainings for our children. The new sessions will have new additions from Mahadji Shinde High School and of course two new batch from Dr. Ambedkar Memorial School our new school; both schools located in Pune Cantonment Board, Pune. Apart from this we are working with one scholarship municipality school on holistic development of the child. We are having an estimate that the children in projects would shoot up to 200. Projects '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 70% 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. For the most part, children drop out, or are taken out of school by their parents, because they think that school is irrelevant. Many families see school as a bad investment — they'd rather have their children earning money or caring for younger siblings. But by leaving school early, children often fail to realize their full potential; innate skills and abilities are lost by neglect or by failure to explore and foster talents and interests. If children and their families could see how education will bring much greater economic benefit than might otherwise be gained in the short term, without proper schooling, they would almost invariably prefer to complete their studies. Objectives: - Motivating children to pursue further education
- Reducing the number of school dropouts
- Empowering children, developing pride and responsibility in work
- Enhancing leadership quality
- Comment from our student from Colors of Life:
30 students are part of this project. New students will join from the same school i.e Mahadji Shinde High School in the new sessions. Further more a new batch will start in Dr. Ambedkar Memorial School. Comment from our student in Colors of Life project: 'On joining 'Colors of Life' I came to know other side of myself. 'Colors of Life' is an institution which develops confidence in children. While working with this program I had many questions. But now I could solve them through this foundation. I was surprised to see the development in me which I could not do previously. Now I feel confident that I can do anything with interest. I developed interest in studies. These difficult subjects now I feel easy. I feel happy to know the difference in myself.' -Akash Sakat- 9th Class Project Enhance uses sport and the arts as tools to promote physical well-being while improving mental health.

- Increase attention span
46 girls are part of this project. New girl students will join from the same school i.e Mahadji Shinde High School in the new sessions. Further more a new batch will start in Dr. Ambedkar Memorial School. Comment from our girl student who is under Project Enhance: 'I am feeling very peaceful on joining karate project. Even our teacher is also very cool person. Karate benefits us and also gives physical exercise. Karate also develops our memory power. It gives physical flexibility to our body. There are many benefits of karate.' -Nikita Mane - 6th Class Urja-igniting the fire within our vocational training, the participants would under-go training and a psychological test. These women would under-go training for handicraft and imitation jewelry, after the long procedure of identification of these women, doing a detailed survey of their family and their problems, needs assessments were carried out to identify their strength and weakness. Few presentations were given to students of Navrachana School, Baroda on community development and how they can get involved in this project. We had a great time with interns coming from different colleges who worked and are working with us. Right from Engineering to Management sector; Interns were/are from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Tata Institute of Social Science, S.P Jain Institute of Management and Research, Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Department of Home Science, M.S. University, Loyola College, VIT and many more... The launch of 2nd Edition of E-zine is due and we would launch it in 2nd week of June. New sessions from June 2011 seems to be super-hectic with most of the plans being laid. Our laptop crashed and we lost quite a lot of data; hence adding further unexpected delay in our on-going planning. We need your support in the on-going process. We need on-site people to support us in the on-going projcts, we need dedicated volunteers for different task, and we need sponsors for laptop (this being our immediate need), stationery, crayons, pen-pencil, drawing papers, registers, educational CD's and more.. Please get in touch with us and share this with your friends and family members. Drop us an email with any of your expression. You can reach us at: contact@colorss.org Thank you for giving and sharing your time for 'social-change' For Love, Anand Koti

We need people from all walks of Life
|
When we see someone in pain, we feel the same pain somewhere deep in our heart. And suddenly a thought "I wish I could help?" and then the next moment we turn down that thought. We feel happy and satisfied by turning down our responsibility in the name of almighty, because he is the creator and redeemer of all. But for a while, just change the characters, now you are the person in need and you see someone in his full capability to help others. What would be your thought? You need help, someone to help you through! While the wait, when you see no one turned up, then how would you feel? When it comes to service; giving is one of the most difficult tasks. Our motherland is known for the morals it carry. For the people who served others before themselves. It is the land of saints who renounced the world and served others. At Colorss we are trying to fulfill some part of our responsibilities for others, for the world and most importantly for our conscience. We try to help the disadvantaged, beyond a matter of profit and loss. It is a symphony of love and care which creates the most beautiful music in the world. You could be its composer as well.. If you think you can help others, then you just have to step out and see your role. It might be smaller at first sight but remember drop by a drop an ocean is formed. And when would you see the world changing or being a source of someone's smile then you would be the happiest person of being a part of it. Colorss is looking for some young legs to come forward and be geared up for some purpose. Your participation not only yields immediate practical benefits to yourself - such as building your own experience, skills, and connections - but you also have the gratification inherent in improving others' lives. Follow Us on: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/colorssfoundation Currently students from Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and S.P Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai - have started their internships with 'Colorss'. We need volunteers from all walks of life. Join our team for a new experience. All volunteers are required to send their resumes at 'emailcolorss@gmail.com' clearly stating their expertise and area of interest. Remember we need volunteers from all walks of life. ~ Rohit Singh For Love, Anand Koti

Urja - igniting the power within # Baroda, Gujarat
|
Urja @ Baroda This is the logo of our new vocational training program and better know as URJA - igniting the power within The project aims at the empowerment of women. It aims at providing vocational training to women especially for women from underprivileged sections of the society. A team of 10 highly motivated youngsters headed by Ms Ahluwalia is working on Urja. Each member is involved in the development of this crucial and important project. The team successfully identified couple of communities as per the guidelines. Among them one community was finalized, it's a slum area located on Magal Pandey Road, Vadodara.. The person in charge of this community has agreed to extend his support for the implementation of the project. We carried out a need assessment in the identified community in order to understand the background of these women, their socio-economic structure and their felt needs; those that are always ignored by the society. Our intern Ms Papori from Tata Institute of Social Science and Ms Ahluwalia helped in designing the assessment. The detailed analysis of the data-collection has helped us to understand the need and kind of program that needs to be implemented. Colorss Baroda Team #Urja ; discussing plan of action for Urja :) Ms Papori is helping us with the initial set-up for Urja. This of course is a challenging task for the entire team Colorss of Baroda. Setting up from the scratch, the team has been highly dedicated and coordinated properly. Soon the women in Urja programme would undergo skill training. We hope to have an exhibition of the products made so that the society at large can feel the change. Once the training program starts and the samples are created. We would share them with you. Yes, we do look ahead to hear you and your support is always being honored. Come let's be a part of change For Love Anand

Social Change has began | Children in our project speak out
|
Colors of Life and Project Enhance are the two projects that are being carried out in Pune city with Pune Municipal Schools located in Pune Cantonment Board. We had been mentioning in past about the developments of the projects and children. Their improvemnets and what we feel about it. However its more important to know what they(children) feel, what they want, their inner feelings and the words that come from their heart values. For their words are more important than what we feel because the change is happening within them and it can be felt when they speak.. Below are the feelings from our children in projects.. Comment from our girl student who is under Project Enhance; 'I am feeling very peaceful on joining karate project. Even our teacher is also very cool person. Karate benefits us and also gives physical exercise. Karate also develops our memory power. It gives physical flexibility to our body. There are many benefits of karate.' Nikita Mane - 6th Class Comment from our student from Colors of Life ; 'On joining 'Colors of Life' I came to know other side of myself.

|
Colorss Foundation is a registered trust in Vadodara, Gujarat and working in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Colorss was founded on 15th Sep 2008 and is a registered NGO with United Nations online Volunteering. Colorss is working with disadvantaged children and focuses on Education and rehabilitation. Colorss Foundation is an organization which works to integrate marginalized populations, into mainstream society through various programs which include martial arts training, vocational training as well as psychological and social guidance.
Colorss is starting its operations in Baroda from 3rd week of March 2011. Calling all the volunteers who are interested to join us in Baroda to send their resume at: emailcolorss@gmail.com with subject: Baroda
A brief update of Colorss in Pune city, presently the projects are being carried out at Pune city.
Currently we have three projects and one vocational training program:
1. Project Enhance: A one-of-a-kind project for disadvantaged children, with the goal to enhance their physical and mental health, as well as to reduce the negative social stigma and discrimination towards people with disabilities. The physical and mental benefits on these types of therapies have been well studied in developed countries, which include: improving physical strength, muscle control, coordination, discipline, self-esteem, self-confidence, and reducing stress and anxiety, and so on. The objective of Project Enhance is to empower children with disabilities and otherwise marginalized children by training participants in martial arts and encouraging them to express themselves through creative arts, while educating the general public about disabilities. Project Enhance uses karate and creative arts as tools to promote the physical and mental well-being of children with various types of disabilities, as well as to create a safe environment for disabled and non-disabled children to interact with each other.
Issues: Focus is on better mental health, physiological and psychological well-being, vocational training, inclusion, self-defense for girls and education.
Children in Projects: Currently there are 46 girls based in Pune city have recently been included in the project. We are going to train these girls studying in 5th, 6th and 7th grade in martial arts with a blend of creative arts.
2. Colors of Life: The Colors of Life project combines the use of technology and art to encourage children to stay in school while learning useful vocational skills and improving their communication and interpersonal skills through the creation of Colors of Life, the bimonthly e- magazine. A trained psychologist assesses each participant on his physical and mental abilities at the beginning of the program. Currently, the children take part in a one-hour session twice a week. At the beginning of the program, the teaching staff takes on a facilitating role to lead the children to write or draw based on a given topic. The topics are chosen by a psychologist on purpose to encourage the participants to open their mind by exploring their inner-self and to get them to be in a more relaxing and comfortable mode. Their artwork is featured in the Colors of Life E-zine, which is source of a motivation for the participants as well as give them a sense of pride and increase their self-confidence.
Issues: Focus is on reducing school dropouts, to motivate the child for further education, and on vocational training
Children in Projects: Currently there are 40 students in our projects. The first E-zine has been published and is downloadable from the website.
Download the E-zine to read it:
http://colorss.org/new/component/simpledownload/?task=download&fileid=%2FFiles%2FCol_26th+Jan.pdf
The second edition of Colors of Life will be published in the 2nd week of April 2011 during the time when the schools are about to go for its summer vacations.
3. Holistic Development: This project is carried out at a scholarship school of Pune Municipal Corporation for the students in the grade of 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. We are working with this school and providing support at a holistic level. These students are extremely intelligent and come from slums. The socio-economic structure is very weak and their struggle for existence is way too high. We conduct workshops on English language, Brain-Gym exercises, Counseling, teaching different subjects, drawing and personality development and body language workshops.
Children in Projects: Currently we have more than 80 students in this project.
4. URJA- "igniting the power within": URJA is our new vocational training program. This program is started with an intention to make Colorss self-sustainable model and to raise the living standards of the family in training program. URJA has got couple of families and quite likely that more families would join us. These families are poor and have odd jobs to sustain their living. They are highly motivated and have the fire within. The women and children from the family are part of this project. URJA is intended to raise the living standards of the family by training and providing enough financial support for the children to make their future secure.
Issues: Uplift the living standards of family in training, educate the women and girl child in training program

Its just not limited to the use for sport as self-defense, attack and to stay physically fit. There is a lot more than what is mentioned. It has got the power for brain stimulation and can be used for healing. Read few of the extracts of the project: - The real joy and a sign of success of Colorss being on the right track was to see: - Cerebral palsy girl balancing on her toes for more than 30 seconds is a big change. We have introduced creative arts in the sessions Integrating creative arts into the sessions allows Project Enhance to reinforce elements of the karate training, further helping children develop and retain their skills. Incorporating art cultivated: - A sense of responsibility (as participants come to understand they have to complete tasks following instructions) - Eye/hand coordination (coloring within defined boundaries) - Controlled motor skill (finger/hand manipulation and pressure required for drawing) - A sense of achievement - Cognitive skill - Differentiation skill (selecting colors and tools) and - Discipline (quietly focusing on completing a task) - Lowering of anger and mood swings Children of all disabilities benefit from the skills emphasized in this training, such as body and muscle control, flexibility, stamina, breath control, trust building, aggression control, and togetherness. You can read more on this project at: http://www.changemakers.com/en-us/node/19289 Now after having done substantial work with children with disability, today we have 46 able-bodied girls who are from 5th, 6th and 7th grade belonging from slums being a part of the project. Special foucs is given to these girls as they come from a challenging segment of society. Proejct Enhance will make them a new person; physically and mentally strong. Learning at this tender age would give them the inner confidence to make their way ahead in life. Sensi Pervez Mistry and Anand Koti
Sensi Pervez Mistry is the Chief Instructor for India for the past 46 years for International Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate-do Federation and is the Pioneer of Karate-do in India. He has been teaching the Martial Arts in particular the art and science of Karate-do (The way of the Empty Hand) Project Enhance is a reality only because Sensi Pervez Mistry made me believe and asked me to have faith. I still remember it was the month of september 2003, ,'Anand keep it going just because I say! You are not able to see where you are heading but I can.' Sensi Pervez Mistry has also given fitness training to Anita Raj, Kitu Gidwani and Poonam Gidwani. While he given gym training to Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham, Sunil Shetty and Vinod Khanna, who also earned a black belt, learnt karate under him. He believes proper breathing is life and has mastered 17 types of breathing, of which 14 types were learnt from his master in Okinawa, Japan. He has been a guide/mentor and friend to me. For Love, Anand Note: New sessions in June 2011; more students would be induced in the project.
