A Sleepless Night
"I can't sleep" said Alyssa."Me neither" said Patrick.Alyssa looked beside her to see Patrick, her boyfriend, who was wide awake, just like her."Why not?" she asked him."Come on, Alyssa, you know why" groaned Patrick, as he sighed with frustration."Hmm..." she hummed in agreement and turned back to look at the sky.Nobody spoke anything for a while before Alyssa decided to break the silence."Do you think the situation would have been different, if..." she trailed off."If?" he asked, even when he knew what she was talking about.She sighed before replying, "If we had not been there that night."Patrick did not respond. Alyssa understood that he was upset. She felt guilty for bringing up the past."Pat?" she asked, her voice almost a whisper."There has not been a minute since that day, that I have stopped wishing for things to be different. The events of that day still haunt me" he answered.She knew that he was beating himself up for everything that had happened."You are not the one at fault. Above all, if it was destined to happen, then nobody could have avoided it. Not even us" she said, trying to make him feel better."But, we had a feeling that something would have happened. We saw signs. Still, ignoring our intuition, I insisted on going on our date. Stepping out of our house was the worst decision that I have ever made. We could have avoided them if we just stayed back home, but I ruined everything" Patrick almost yelled."You did not ruin anything. If there is anyone to be blamed for what happened, then it is them!" Alyssa screamed.Patrick did not know how to respond to her outburst."They are the ones to be blamed... They are the ones who decided that it was okay to make things right by causing an accident… By causing our car to crash down a cliff… By killing their own friends… By killing us!" she ended with a sob.Patrick wanted to hug her and comfort her. But, he knew that it was not possible. They are spirits, wandering the earth, searching for peace. They could not touch anything or anyone, not even each other."How did they believe that killing us would change anything? It does not change the past" wondered Alyssa."True. But, it can change the future" answered Patrick.Alyssa turned to look at Patrick, confusion written all over her face.Patrick explained further, "Our parents betrayed their parents. Once upon a time, they were friends. A close-knit group of people who made a pact that they would be there for each other, no matter what. But, our parents forgot all about it, as soon as they came into power. Your father is a Mayor and mine is an attorney who helped him cover up all of his crimes."Alyssa held a solemn expression. "What were his crimes? Corruption. He made a great deal of money, illegally, and blamed it on their parents. Why? Because they were easy targets. Poor, in dire need of money and most importantly, they had no power to prove their innocence. I don't know if it is called being clever or cunning. Maybe both?" she said.Patrick shrugged, "We should have known better than to trust their children. But, they seemed so sweet and friendly, from the moment they extended a hand of friendship. I could not doubt them even for a moment. They were always there for us. We have shared fun moments and made great memories with them. It is hard to believe that they were never our friends.""They were our friends, Pat. They loved us, maybe just not as much as we loved them. Their determination to avenge their parents overshadowed their care for us. Their judgement was clouded because of the trauma that their families had been through" said Alyssa.Patrick chuckled, "Are you still defending them? Even after what they did to us?"Alyssa smiled sadly and said, "I am not defending what they did. They had no right to take someone's life. What I meant was that we cannot judge them when we have never been in their situation. Can you imagine how it would feel to be in their place? To watch your parents get betrayed by their close friends? To watch them lose their jobs and be accused of something that they never did? To watch both your parents part ways and to live in a broken family? To suffer from trauma and depression?"Patrick went quiet after listening to her questions."Yes, they chose the wrong way to get justice for their parents. But, think about their pain and anger that drove them to make such a drastic decision. We can never completely understand them because we never went through any of that. I believe our mothers never knew about their husbands' wrongdoings. So, there were no conflicts at home. We were a happy family, until now" she continued."Now, everything will be revealed and their parents will get justice. But, do you think this will solve everything? Every problem that ever existed?" questioned Patrick."I wish I could answer your questions. I don't have all the answers, honey" answered Alyssa."I have an answer. The answer is yes and no. Their parents would get justice but nobody can promise that their families will get back to how it was in the beginning. They may have felt satisfied with their revenge. But, the guilt and remorse will hit them and trust me, it will hit them hard because one day, they will realize that we had nothing to do with what happened in the past" explained Patrick."So, who will get us justice? No one. Nobody can do anything about it because we are long gone. We had dreams, Pat. Many, many dreams. We dreamt of going to the University, getting good jobs, travelling the world, getting married, having children, and growing old, together. Everything was snatched away from us in a moment!" cried out Alyssa."Think of it like this. Maybe we were never meant to experience all of that in this life. Like you said, it was all destined. But, you know what? I believe that this is not the end. Our next life will be better. We will find our way to each other. We will live the dreams that we could not realize in this life and experience so much more than just that. We will live a beautiful life and grow old, together" said Patrick, confidently, as he tried his best to comfort her."I believe that, too" said Alyssa, as she smiled a little.There was a moment of silence before Alyssa spoke, again."Will we ever find peace?" asked Alyssa."Of course, we will. We just need to trust and let go. It will be alright, I promise, Aly" said Patrick, as he tried to hold her hands.Surprisingly, they could touch each other. At that moment, they realized that all they needed was a little reassurance from each other to get rid of their fears and replace them with hope and peace.Alyssa's face lit up with joy because she could finally hold hands with her true love.Both of them got up from hovering over their graves."I guess this is it, Aly. It is time to leave, for now. Let us meet, again" said Patrick."See you soon, my love" said Alyssa.They hugged each other and kissed, as if it was the last time, but they knew that this was not the end."I love you!" they said at the same time, as they slowly vanished into thin air, with hopes of seeing each other, sooner than they thought.

How Pehchaan The Street School Empowers Underprivileged Children Through Education
The word “education" is often referred to as one of the most powerful tools for changing the world. Millions of children globally, however,are deprived of this fundamental right because they are entangled in an unending cycle of poverty and ignorance. An amazing project called "Pehchaan The Street School" aims to stop this pattern by giving underprivileged children hope and an education. These children's empowerment journeys not only improve their own lives but also the communities to which they belong.The secret to a better future of the children from underprivileged backgrounds is education. It gives individuals the ability to end the cycle of poverty, realize their full potential, and make significant contributions to society. Here’s why education is so crucial: It breaks the cycle of poverty by allowing the underprivileged children to support themselves and their families, lifting them out of poverty. Education empowers an individual and fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills and self-confidence. Not only that , education also helps improve a child’s mental-health and their overall well-being. The question now becomes how we can really educate children from underprivileged families. The answer is by joining or supporting NGO (Non- Government Organization).An NGO called Pehchaan The Street School was established as a result of grassroots efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers who realized the life-changing impact of education. Acknowledging the significant gaps in educational opportunities, they started instructing kids in open spaces, under temporary roofs, and on the streets and in slums. What began as spontaneous get-togethers swiftly expanded into a formal program that drew in additional volunteers and funding.The mission of Pehchaan The Street School is to provide free and quality education to underprivileged children, promoting their overall development and empowering them with necessary skills to become responsible members of the society. The heart of Pehchaan The Street School's efforts lie in its street classrooms. In Delhi NCR, the volunteers have established makeshift classrooms where underprivileged children receive free education. These courses include science, social studies, basic reading and numeracy instruction.Education at Pehchaan The Street School goes beyond academics. The school places a strong emphasis on overall development of children. Programs include arts and crafts, sports, and extracurricular activities that help in nurturing creativity, teamwork, and physical health. Recognizing the link between health and education, Pehchaan The Street School organizes regular health check-ups and provides nutritional support to ensure that children are healthy and able to learn effectivelyPehchaan The Street School acts as a bridge between the gaps created due to institutionalization and commercialization of education throughout our nation has severely limited the ability of the underprivileged to access means of academic and vocational study.Hundreds of previously underprivileged children are now literate, providing access to opportunities and further education causing increase in the literacy rate. A large number of students from Pehchaan The Street School's classrooms have made the switch to formal education, where they are excelling both academically and socially, also leading to an increase in enrollment in formal schools. After leaving Pehchaan The Street School, several of its former students have gone on to break the cycle of poverty in their families by pursuing further education, vocational training, and gainful work leading to the empowerment of underprivileged children. One inspiring story is that of Rani, a young girl from a slum in Delhi, who started her educational journey with Pehchaan The Street School. Despite her challenging circumstances, Rani excelled in her studies and went on to secure a scholarship to a prestigious high school. Today, she aspires to become a teacher and give back to her community. Many who have witnessed Pehchaan The Street School frequently comment that the children's dreams are to work as prominent professionals and civil servants, which is, in fact, the first step toward realizing their objectives. Pehchaan The Street School brings smiles to their faces by giving them chances, knowledge, resources, and experiences that they will treasure for the rest of their lives. They become joyful and enthusiastic about picking up new abilities as a result. Pehchaan The Street School is like a glimmer of hope for underprivileged children, highlighting the important impact of dedicated educational initiatives. Pehchaan The Street School is changing lives on an individual basis as well as building better, more resilient communities by providing education to these kids. The road ahead is difficult, but with teamwork and steadfast resolve, the goal of universal education can be accomplished.Pehchaan The Street School is always looking for support in various forms including donation of stationery items, voluntary work and partnerships in both online and offline mode.

A Peek Into The World of Change-makers: Pehchaan The Street School
This article serves as a small guide, this article will help you understand the workings of Pehchaan The Street School. It will go into - how Pehchaan The Street School is set up, how and what they do and how one can help the school. Pehchaan The Street School is a dedicated volunteer-driven organisation based in Delhi committed to providing quality education for children to enhance their lives and has been working towards this cause for the past 9 years.Despite the right to education, many children still lack access to quality education. Pehchaan The Street School steps in to provide education that goes beyond the traditional standards and this is done by providing an education as well as school supplies needed for the children free of cost.Pehchaan The Street School runs on crowdfunding and operates without any paid employees, relying solely on the dedication of volunteers. They focus not only on academic knowledge but also on several extracurricular activities that are essential for a child's overall development. They also provides several internship and volunteer opportunities for anyone who is interested in being a part. The School was started by Akash Tandon and his childhood friends Kanika Narula, Sam Pillai, Leejo Joy, and Monica Vamdar who had a vision and an aim to change the lives of underprivileged children in their area.They have 7 operational centres all across Delhi:1) Indraprastha Metro Station2) GTB Nagar3) Mukherjee Nagar4)Noida Sector 355) Sunder Nursery6) Rohini7) Dilshad Garden How the School is set up:-The schools are set up in different locations such as temples, parks, and many more. They have many locations all across Delhi.The classes start at 3 with a prayer that teaches students to be kind and humble, and moral values, instead of teaching them religion. Pehchaan The Street School offers classes from elementary level to 12th grade. The curriculum: The Ncert curriculum is closely followed in India but due to time constraints Pehchaan The Street School cannot follow this curriculum rather they have their own curriculum that covers the basics. Their curriculum is made in such a way that would fulfil the needs of the marginalised students. This includes providing basic education and vocational training like sewing, beauty courses, etc… Factors that affect a child's education: The situation that a child comes from deeply affects their educationFinancial barriers: Many individuals might not be able to even afford education, we all know that the cost of education has gone up making it very expensive and unaffordable leaving many in the dark. Commercialization of education is the number one cause of people not being able to afford education.Discrimination and Exclusion: Children from marginalised communities often are discriminated against and excluded from getting an education. Though caste-based discrimination is illegal, many to this day practice and participate in this social evil, and this negatively impacts children. Lack of awareness: oftentimes the parents lack awareness and fail to understand how important education is, this leads to them not sending their children to school which stops the children from reaching their potential. The rigged Government education system: as Indians, we are well aware of the quality of the government education system. Oftentimes even after attending government school children are unable to read or write this shows us the quality of education provided by our government. The rigged system may neglect to hire teachers with credentials and many more this puts a child's education in jeopardy hence Pehchaan The Street School also works as a tuition centre for many children who experience such a thing.Parents often don't seem to care even if their child has scored high scores as they are not sure about the opportunities that education provides.Vocational training: The school also provides ground for vocational training as it will be helpful for children coming from marginalised communities. The curriculum is modified to fit the needs of underprivileged children. They offer courses like sewing, beauty courses, etc.. these have helped the students be independent in a very short time.They provide education to children hailing from remote areas by providing internet connection and laptops so that they can learn. Prioritising mental health:- We all know that having a roof over your head is not enough to maintain mental health, Pehchaan The Street School also provides mental health sessions and mentoring sessions to children. Children from marginalised communities might be facing a lot of difficulties at home and they might feel like they have no one to talk to. The school has kept this in mind while providing them with mentoring sessions. The children are encouraged to talk more about their feelings and they ensure that help is available. They have several psychology interns working for this cause.Reality of the marginalised childrenChildren coming from marginalised communities are often discriminated against. They never feel like part of the society this leads to them being stuck in their situation Meet a passionate volunteerVolunteers at Pehchaan The Street School are passionate individuals who work for the noble cause of educating children. What are the responsibilities of a volunteer and an intern? At Pehchaan The Street School one can work as a teacher, social media, psychology intern, etc…The key role of a teaching intern is to teach children it can be done online or offline.

In short, the school makes way for the overall development of the children.Volunteers must ensure that the classes are properly cleaned and maintained for the students.Personal experiences of a volunteerI got to talk to one of these individuals who motivated me to write this article. This volunteer has been working with Pehchaan The Street School for the past 2 years. They felt that educating children was a social responsibility and that we are responsible for providing them with a better future.The volunteers are driven by nothing but the love and support of the children.“Those random hugs felt like the most wonderful thing” These are the exact words of the volunteer, this shows us the immense love that the volunteer has for children. The love from the children, despite their challenging circumstances, has the power to melt anyone's heart. The volunteer aimed to make a special core memory for the children.Transparency is a core value embraced by Pehchaan The Street School, regarded as vital for cultivating trust and integrity. The pervasive nature of corruption is widely recognized, particularly within certain NGOs and trusts serving as channels for individuals to obtain tax benefits. These entities may exploit the system by falsely claiming to have made donations without following through on the committed contributions.Here the donations made for the children go to the children and not to the pockets of the authority. They teach them moral values, about hygiene, and about being kind. This moulds a child into a better person, a person who is different from the situations that they grew up in. Bribing for a good cause There is a chance that the children coming to the school might have had enough food to eat, hence Pehchaan The Street School provides snacks for the children. Children might consider going to school just for the snacks but this actually ends up helping them get an education. They also provide internet connectivity and laptops for the children in remote areas, this helps the children whose parents can't provide them with these facilities.These are some reasons that the children end up staying in school.How can one help Pehchaan The Street School? or how to work with them?Volunteering: Anyone who has spare time can volunteer to work with Pehchaan The Street School.
