Slum children donate for Orissa
Girl children from the Balika Vikalp Gyan Kendra on 25 November 1999 handed over to Justice J.S. Verma, Chairperson, National Human Rights Commission a sum of Rs. 3912.75 as a donation to assist the victims of the Orissa cyclone. They had collected this amount from 583 slum children. They requested Justice Verma and the NHRC to help ensure that the money reached the needy.
Appreciating this effort of a group of disadvantaged children, who were themselves working part-time as domestic help to supplement the income of their families, the Chairperson observed that he was deeply touched by their gesture and the spirit in which this donation was given.
