Meeting The Goal.....

This is really getting big now.Daily We feel that our voice is becoming more and more loud,thick and stronger and thats because Daily We see one more voices getting added to ours.Last week we had a visit to "Caliber Point" and talked to around 200 people.It was an ultimate experience for us.

And The best part was to see that people already know evey thing , they know the problems,causes and infact the solutions too and the only thing they are looking for is a way to start,a point of connection,a start line to run.

And in that way this campaign is really becoming a way to give this to them "the starting point" ,Yes Once You shoot,You think,You again shoot,You again think and then you automatically gets involved as brand ambasder for the campaign, for the cause carrying the same zeal and voice..which you were already having.

Changes are inginited in minds and delivered by actions.This is something which has started on a very good pace and Now I can definately see the End Line and there I can see a kid standing holding hands of his parents, having a slate in his hands going to get in to the school.

And yes at that same End I see a divine smiling face standing under a tree on the road side and watching him carefully.You know who is that Guy Its You my friend..Its you :).

"Lights Camera Action" Second Phase

Join 'FIRST PAY DAY' Campaign



CRY volunteer Vinay asked for a cup of tea in a tea stall near SakiNaka when he encountered a usual sight of a 10-12 year old child handing over his cup. It was his 30th day at work and he would earn 1200 Rupees for putting in 14 hours of hard work every day without any break. Here was a child who couldn’t read or write… and yet, he was earning his first salary.Every single day most of us come across many such children in our surroundings working hard at different places but we ignore them as if they are completely invisible to us. If you have an eye to see them and the desire to change their lives, join us and be the change maker to help them live, learn, grow and play.



‘FIRST PAY DAY’ Campaign is an interactive campaign with an interesting concept to spread awareness that employing child labour is illegal and unjust. All you have to do is shoot interviews of people from various walks of life and mail them to us. We will put them together to make a short film which will help in changing their lives forever.Make sure you participate in this campaign and you will be joining over 2 lakh individuals, 200 grassroots NGO partners and communities in over 6700 villages and slums in 18 states across India in ensuring every child whether girl or boy, gets an equal opportunity to a childhood.
