माझा ‘Our Children’ सोबतचा अनुभव
माझं आणि Our Children संस्थेचं नातं अनेक वर्षांचं आहे. कस्तुरबा महिला वस्तीगृहात अधीक्षिका असताना मी अनेक मुलींचं आयुष्य बदलताना पाहिलं. त्यापैकी एक हुशार मुलगी पुढे Our Children च्या माध्यमातून राहण्याची सोय, शिक्षण आणि समुपदेशनाचं प्रशिक्षण घेत होती. तेव्हा या संस्थेबद्दल मला पहिल्यांदा समजलं.
नंतर जेव्हा जिल्हा महिला व बालविकास अधिकारी म्हणून काम केलं, तेव्हा संस्थेचे कॅम्प, कार्यक्रम आणि “ज्ञान मेळा” यांमध्ये सहभागी होताना त्यांची कार्यशैली अनुभवली. प्रत्येक उपक्रम नियोजनबद्ध, संवेदनशील आणि बालकांच्या सर्वोत्तम हितासाठी असतो.
‘Our Children’ म्हणजे माझ्यासाठी एक संस्था नव्हे, तर एक मोठं कुटुंब आहे — प्रेम, आपुलकी आणि जबाबदारीने बांधलेलं. मुलांचं सर्वांगीण पुनर्वसन हेच त्यांचं ध्येय आहे, आणि त्यासाठी काम करणाऱ्या सर्वांना मी मनःपूर्वक शुभेच्छा आणि कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करते.

Our Children has played a vital role in shaping the lives of countless children through its meaningful programmes and activities. Among the most impactful are the Learning Beyond Camp, Science Exhibition, and the annual Children’s Meet.

The Science Exhibition inspires curiosity and innovation, giving children a platform to express ideas and think independently. The Children’s Meet, held every year on May 1st, celebrates talent and self-expression, helping children overcome stage fear and take pride in their individuality.
