Today I have visited Fr. Josen of IMS congregation in sector,19,Noida who is running a programme calledMary's Meal for the slum children. Through the programme he and his team members provides free education to the street children reaching to them into their own slum area. Here they provide mid-day meal to the children to attract them to come for education.
The aim of the programme is to "EMPOWER THROUGH EDUCATION" to the poorest of the poor dwelling in slums. They want to provide the taste of education who never had any education in their life. Through informal education which they provide, they are trying to develop the future of our country to go to formal school. It is a process to inculcate values of life in them.
As we know children are the future of our country, and a small step taken by him is praise worthy. I am also impressed by his team members who goes to the slums takes the trouble to teach them. Its easy to teach within the four walls of school but to teach in the streat or in the road is really a challing task.
I hope the initiative taken by them will be a great success in forming the future generation of our country.
