The essence of Colorss

Growing up, I was taught at my school that "Every child is potentially the light of the world and at the same time the cause of it's darkness." The mission there was to make every child a gift of God to mankind and a pride of human race. These words were often repeated by our founder manager who used to to bore us to sleep in his seemingly endless lectures. If you ask my friends, it was one of our most dreaded experiences which we had to go through at least twice a year. Yet now I realize that somewhere it got to us. Deep in our hearts it got ingrained- the ambition of becoming the pride of human race. This is what Colorss Foundation is doing today.
This is what Mr Surya Pal Gangwar, an IAS officer and a poet, has to say-

 Look around you. Is there a "chotu" running around carrying a glass of tea or washing dishes or mending a punctured tire? Stop for a moment to think about him. Doesn't he deserve a childhood? Doesn't he deserve an education? He is the future. At every nook and corner in our country there are such children who deserve to be cared for and who need our help. Giving him a few rupees or buying him a chocolate is not a solution to this problem. What we need is to come together in an organised effort and find solutions to these problems by discussions and then to implement those through mutual co-operation. This is where Colorss needs you.

 We are aiming at building a network of volunteers across the country who will be spreading our message, participating in discussions, conducting workshops and contributing in any way they can conveniently can. No, you don't have to go out of your way for doing something good. Just do something that's convenient for you and will be helpful for us as well. Join us. It's an appeal to those who think it's something that needs to be done.
