"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.
