“I believe that if you want things to happen. you’ve got to get off that chair, break some sweat and make it happen!” most of us will echo 22-year-old Jasmeet Thind’s thought, but how many implement it? To refrain from being caught in the ‘all talk, no work’ mindset he initiated The Candle Project (TCP), a volunteer-based organisation that provides experiential learning to children from low income / slum communities. The organisation adopts international / convent schools with high infrastructure resources, which serve as centres for learning and teaching. As of now, TCP works with 80 children from slums in Versova, Andheri (W). It is in the process of opening more centres across Mumbai and add a new city by September.
