Young Volunteers affirm bonds of friendship: Welcome, again, SAP!

Young Volunteers affirm bonds of friendship:
Welcome, again, SAP!
It is heartwarming to have young people show their love
and support to the MC children. Students and teachers
at Vasant Valley School were actively involved in
making Rakhi Cards during Rakhi celebrations. They
made 600 cards that enabled us to communicate with
our well-wishers and friends. MC is proud to celebrate
partners like the Vasant Valley School.
MC renewed its ties with yet another friend: SAP
LABS has come forward to lend support to the
Palm Drive day care center in Gurgaon. This
relationship will take MC closer to achieving its
mission of a just and caring world for all our
children, and SAP its CSR goals. Thank you SAP!

Meena Day
Meena Day, an annual event, was
celebrated with children across all
our daycare centers from 14th – 21st
September, with various activities
like movie screening, slogan
writing, focus group discussions on
education, role play etc. Meena,
an imaginary character created by
UNICEF epitomizes the girl child
who braves the world and tackles
the key issues affecting children,
particularly, neglect and discrimination faced by girl
children.
Excursions: Children from the Bestech center
(Sector 47 and 67) were taken to Children's Park
and the Zoo
Festival Time: The Jul-Sep quarter saw a host of
festivals and reasons to celebrate Independence Day, Eid, Rakhiand Janmashtami –
with our children. The children have fun in the
centres, learn something new each time and also
go back home to share it with their families.
Dream on Wheels: Our old friends, the Japanese
Ladies Volunteer Group, have donated Rs. 80000 to
buy two motor bikes to ensure timely delivery of
goodsto our centres.

Issue 40 July – September 2011
A four-year struggle pays off …
Corpus Donors
For people at Kirby Place, an
unauthorised labour camp in SouthWest district of Delhi, 2nd of August,
2011, was a day of celebration. The
reason was the opening of ten
'Anganwadis' in Kirby Place after
four long years of evidence building,
petitions and follow ups with the
Dept. of Women and Child
Development for proper child
development facilities under the
Integrated Child Development
Services (ICDS) scheme. The Basti Vikas Samiti, a local community group,
and Mobile Creches came together to organise this event attended by
over 600 people. These Aganwadis will fill the unmet need for nutrition,
healthcare and pre-school for young children in the community.
Building Credibility and Transparency:
MC was accredited by Credibility Alliance (CA),under
its “Desirable Norms” set of criteria, in September 2011.
CA is a consortium of voluntary organizations
committed towards enhancing accountability and
transparency in the voluntary sector through good
governance. Akin to a professional body CA has
developed norms or standards of governance.
This recognition, after diligent scrutiny by a team of CA auditors, has
been a real boost to our commitment to stay accountable to all
stakeholders.
On behalf of the entire team, I wish you and yours a Very Happy and Safe Diwali ! Light a lamp for the child
and spread the message.
