Through the help and support of a friend of HOPE worldwide Kolkata we got an opportunity to witness “A Cultural Exposition” organized by the National Educational Research & Development Programme (NERDP). The organization under the brand of Bharatiya Lok Sanskriti Utsav presented a great exposition of folk dance, music, crafts and many more. It just seemed the whole Nation were set before us on a platter. We enjoyed the Duff or Murfa (Andhra Pradesh), Karagram Folk Dance (Tamilnadu), Puli Kali (Kerala), Sambalpuri Folk Dance (Orissa), Nagaland Folk Dance (Nagaland), Paika Nritya (Jharkand), Chholiya Dance (Uttaranchal), Kalbelia (Rajasthan), Siddhi Goma ( Gujrat) and several other folk dance from different cities.<br />I was glad for the opportunity as it served as a great learning curve for the students and they thoroughly enjoyed every bit.Kolkata Centre of Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03314286521401577408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453711944460723572.post-43233741620084986992010-07-16T00:28:00.000-07:002010-07-16T00:36:36.837-07:00Newly started Computer Classes for the students in the KCOH<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6usAD6cxyZQSumS5P4-J0hYi6JTqKbQ-6HmV2kPtkRDSM3T6OzqdddA6AAnMwwPc5ALvRWkQEAywbRteLlY7Uxl_ly4VJuQhzGv1tx7Hwpz6dgzgNjYkdTKtRS5mcoRXI79FtxhPxg/s1600/Computer+Class+for+the+students+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6usAD6cxyZQSumS5P4-J0hYi6JTqKbQ-6HmV2kPtkRDSM3T6OzqdddA6AAnMwwPc5ALvRWkQEAywbRteLlY7Uxl_ly4VJuQhzGv1tx7Hwpz6dgzgNjYkdTKtRS5mcoRXI79FtxhPxg/s400/Computer+Class+for+the+students+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494403639054190114" /></a><br /><br />The Kolkata Centre of HOPE for the first time has started Computer classes for the children in the school. We all know the need of computer education and its advantages. As the world progresses, so does the invention of new technologies. Computer education plays a major role. I always wanted the children from the KCOH to get exposed to computer education, because it will enable them to grow more confident and bring forth a total new dimension towards education. Moreover learning with computers is always very interesting and exicting too.Kolkata Centre of Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03314286521401577408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453711944460723572.post-27021782317986060522010-02-26T02:13:00.000-08:002010-02-26T02:23:51.331-08:00Farewell Service<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXZQV1K-rbON8faMHpX0khVY7Y_qr0SJxzb_hz9b164lA9J616VtWREAdS6RA_t8KIS6CHLjzj2kYil6D2CGH27b1ovriBwN3QiNhbAdrIxwRy02uvNfNDHVj_Qt3DD5St0qaP2QKROA/s1600-h/Shampa's+Farewell+020.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXZQV1K-rbON8faMHpX0khVY7Y_qr0SJxzb_hz9b164lA9J616VtWREAdS6RA_t8KIS6CHLjzj2kYil6D2CGH27b1ovriBwN3QiNhbAdrIxwRy02uvNfNDHVj_Qt3DD5St0qaP2QKROA/s400/Shampa's+Farewell+020.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442493906510914002" /></a><br /><br />Taking part or attending a Farewell Service has always been quite a painful event for all, especially with one whom you are very attached. Last week we organized a Farewell Service for one of our teacher Ms Shampa Bairagi. It was a very special time for all. The children remembered and expressed their gratitude towards her contribution in building their lives with a dance, a song, a short skit and few meaningful sharings. I was extremely proud to see the kids share and perform for their teacher and being grateful to her for everything she did for them, because I believe “<span style="font-weight:bold;">Being Grateful</span>” is a wonderful virtue which as teachers we should work hard to develop in our children which is also an important part of Education.Kolkata Centre of Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03314286521401577408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453711944460723572.post-42527912560372769212010-01-28T20:38:00.000-08:002010-01-28T21:11:26.740-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxz1eog264Z0Y53kiqqQ2BxqNUHeKsuCdeAGEiRYngUvfB0zBz07ukzm6NyJ70FGQzphsJGm9iMVnUatprq5T2YCmiofl_lH4_3bvSe-0IFtd6xY9QLDNpL7ZoZvi9e1-RGDogCgcjjQ/s1600-h/Sumits+Presentation+001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxz1eog264Z0Y53kiqqQ2BxqNUHeKsuCdeAGEiRYngUvfB0zBz07ukzm6NyJ70FGQzphsJGm9iMVnUatprq5T2YCmiofl_lH4_3bvSe-0IFtd6xY9QLDNpL7ZoZvi9e1-RGDogCgcjjQ/s400/Sumits+Presentation+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432024862000339218" /></a><br /><br />Mr Sumit Golchha is one of the Ist Year student from the ITM Navi Mumbai( Institute for Technology and Management )where he is completing his MBA, and he has chosen Kolkata Centre of Hope School to complete his NGO project. Sumit gave a wonderful presentation on "Being a Dreamer". The presentation was attend by the senior most students from the KCOH and the teachers, who felt that it was quiet educative and inspiring with the PPT presentation and various ideas thrown at the kids. I was personally so glad to see my children start dreaming even more now of doing great in their academics and over all performance, to one day see their dreams getting fulfilled.Kolkata Centre of Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03314286521401577408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453711944460723572.post-8278685039259772572010-01-03T22:38:00.000-08:002010-01-03T22:55:18.616-08:00Balai Mondal<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY8EcQdSaxnl6gQm0wT2mm0dOaWgV5KVWx2OsVMOPWyo66tkEQC2Hpmi8l1VOmMpqjTFcaZKcDsJSdNPl9oCmC5m3VfhnkWKIE1xaksA2WQqOGjDyV_Pj_A41GEgP4krA9mWXUxepYgA/s1600-h/BALAI.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY8EcQdSaxnl6gQm0wT2mm0dOaWgV5KVWx2OsVMOPWyo66tkEQC2Hpmi8l1VOmMpqjTFcaZKcDsJSdNPl9oCmC5m3VfhnkWKIE1xaksA2WQqOGjDyV_Pj_A41GEgP4krA9mWXUxepYgA/s200/BALAI.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422773706521432354" /></a><br /><br />Balai Mondal is studying in class K.G from the Kolkata Centre of Hope school. Balai’s father is a Rickshaw puller and his mother works as a domestic help in different houses, but they live in a distant village named Canning which is near about 15 kms away from Champahati. His parents always wanted their child to study hard and do well, but Balai was very mischievous, and very playful, hence he also failed in class. His parents lived a very disturbed life because of him. One day his maternal aunt who lives in Champahati found out about the Kolkata Centre of Hope School, and at once she brought Balai to the school. After getting Balai admitted to the school his parent became little busy with their job and became negligent and did not find time to spend with Balai. A happy and full of life is what was attributed to him but slowly he was becoming slow and would often keep himself secluded away from the other children, the joy was missing from him. Some time later he also started missing class, after doing a follow up we found out that he ran away from his aunts house to meet his parents in Canning. Severely beaten up by his Aunt and his cousins, we found Balai sitting in a corner alone and dejected.<br />I had to call his parents, who after several notices came to meet me. Then I found out that they would hardly come and meet Balai and he was desperately missing them. We gave a plan to his parents to spend time with him, and even warned them of their negligence. His parents understood and wanted to change. Till today they are abiding with the plan and the result is exemplary. Balai loves to come to school, during the weekends his parents take him back home and during all holidays too. Balai now inspires other kids to come to school and not miss class. His enthusiasm is quiet evident, and that is depicted in his academics too. He ranked in one of the recently conducted examination which was very much astonishing for all of us. A simple expression of love changed this boys life forever.<br />Balai now dreams, he dreams to become a “Computer Professional”, he watches various students practicing computers in the VT section and always asks his teacher about it. I pray that one day his dream may get fulfilled.<br /><br />Thank you for all your support and prayers. <br /><br />God Bless<br /><br />Peter D'costaKolkata Centre of Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03314286521401577408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453711944460723572.post-3196106093126508402009-12-13T21:14:00.000-08:002009-12-13T21:44:18.705-08:00A visit to the Nicco Park<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9BY8mMH7UYJkIwR_8-2irlcQM24uomMURdS-3aVqU4uUuSQDm-cwdr5bSh6ERxrMcrCteDusL5qWlsDtK0hr59QZiOBJ2YpwHwHl9bOjduqpFYFUx87jbXOmKi_9hZnbtPmNAFwemg/s1600-h/Toy+Train+ride.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9BY8mMH7UYJkIwR_8-2irlcQM24uomMURdS-3aVqU4uUuSQDm-cwdr5bSh6ERxrMcrCteDusL5qWlsDtK0hr59QZiOBJ2YpwHwHl9bOjduqpFYFUx87jbXOmKi_9hZnbtPmNAFwemg/s200/Toy+Train+ride.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414957492376531586" /></a><br /><br />This was the first time that the children from The Kolkata Centre of HOPE got an opportunity to pay a visit to Nicco Park which is an Amusement Park in Kolkata.

I must agree the children did a fantastic job in organizing it, definitely with a lot of guidance they hosted the program well. They organized a small skit for the teachers, put up a dance performance and even contributed Rs 5/- from their side as a token of gratitude to the tireless serving by their teachers. The Management helped out in purchasing wonderful gifts for the teachers by the contribution collected and presented to them by the students. Over all the students by their performance and the teachers by seeing their performance were extremely happy. A Great Day in total.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ebVkjUYrbCqUq3M2kxQLG9y86Dhm5jaD0wH5XCbtaszoa7L4bImsyqxqfsCTh-MjadSqEUWbi5vb327UFhInTrF0l2JHvDz4jpMJWEKFz5u5ZO0WRgCBBJmV9VIQ4IYMS-1F5Qcn0Q/s1600-h/DSC03282.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ebVkjUYrbCqUq3M2kxQLG9y86Dhm5jaD0wH5XCbtaszoa7L4bImsyqxqfsCTh-MjadSqEUWbi5vb327UFhInTrF0l2JHvDz4jpMJWEKFz5u5ZO0WRgCBBJmV9VIQ4IYMS-1F5Qcn0Q/s200/DSC03282.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401956564758461170" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSsif-3eHMvbERYY3rYlyfC_io5rGqGRv2sMfMh3jzvco7X-d0FdHSJDcIQdNM-M6CsmaCMt3Uh3_-VXYyWp_bGdI2wp-Kx9zFfD5numfC6mjtM-gRJb7nVyoaKEFdBSkzOh8OXErfA/s1600-h/DSC03316.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSsif-3eHMvbERYY3rYlyfC_io5rGqGRv2sMfMh3jzvco7X-d0FdHSJDcIQdNM-M6CsmaCMt3Uh3_-VXYyWp_bGdI2wp-Kx9zFfD5numfC6mjtM-gRJb7nVyoaKEFdBSkzOh8OXErfA/s200/DSC03316.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401958936800660018" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcbJxljbTSqrzyahG7Lk6NOeYPZ4zaMx4K2KUbo-EawBapQxBgyGL3tUj5qHylyDZaQzaCC-rOKJU2M2nKdY9c7qzwxMtd-B-Kilea87wqFUPeysmxxN49zxD1gja9gdrZ8jA_92kvw/s1600-h/DSC03287.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 157px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcbJxljbTSqrzyahG7Lk6NOeYPZ4zaMx4K2KUbo-EawBapQxBgyGL3tUj5qHylyDZaQzaCC-rOKJU2M2nKdY9c7qzwxMtd-B-Kilea87wqFUPeysmxxN49zxD1gja9gdrZ8jA_92kvw/s200/DSC03287.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401957594839433266" border="0" /></a><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CPETER%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="Edit-Time-Data" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CPETER%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_editdata.mso"><!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Pristina; panose-1:3 6 4 2 4 4 6 8 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:script; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults ext="edit" spidmax="1027"> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout ext="edit"> <o:idmap ext="edit" data="1"> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><b style=""><span style=";font-family:Pristina;font-size:18;" >

Chanchal tried his level best to find a good job for himself after his graduation but was not successful. His other sibling (Brother) is handicapped and hence he was compelled to do some odd tuitions to provide a supporting hand to his Father. Chanchal is 39 yrs, old enough to begin his career. One fine morning Chanchal’s tution student brought him to the Kolkata Centre of Hope in Champahati to check out the institute, Chanchal was very impressed and asked me can he also take admission in the Computer Institute. I gladly agreed and encouraged him stating that education has no limit. If he is keen he can start, thus was the beginning of Chanchal Bhowmick’s relationship with KCOH. Today he is a proud individual, his association with Hope has not only taught him Computers but also helped him to regain his self confidence and motivation to Dream. At the age of 39 yrs Chanchal is seeing his dream getting fulfilled when he got a State Government job in the Health and Family Welfare Department as a Clerk. Now he wants his Father to take rest and he wants to take up the full responsibility of the house. Chanchal is very grateful to KCOH for giving him a new Hope to live his dream, in his words he said “ Hope has given me a new Hope, which I can never forget till the rest of my Life “. I wish him the very best for his future endeavors. </span>

He also has three elder brothers who are married and have their own families, but non of them are in touch with their parents, in other words they have no time for their Mom, Dad and younger brother. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >In such a scenario resuming with his dream was highly unlikely. Some how he completed his education but studying in Bengali medium, wouldn’t help in fulfilling his dream. He tried his best and went helter-skelter, traveled far distances gave tuitions, so that he may earn some money to learn English, but wasn’t successful. People promised great results, but nothing worked out till he was introduced to Kolkata Centre of Hope by one of his friend. He initially was skeptical about Hope and couldn’t trust us completely, because of all his past experience. But now the picture is completely different, he trusts us completely and not only that, he brought many of his friends to the institute to get them admitted. He believes and even confessed that “ Studying in Kolkata Centre of Hope was the best thing which could have ever happened in his life “. It was an amazing moment for me and our Spoken English teacher to see Siddik stand and share in English about himself and the Institute in our Ist Annual Day Celebration of our School .The son of a farmer can now believe to see his dream getting fulfilled.
