Thats if the shelters dont have floating population. From what I've understood from Amit's post, its similar to the bridge camp we have at MVF. Am I right?

Uday, that was exactly what we were a;sp thinking. We need to make sure if the NL is for children. If it is, we can have the translated version of MVF NL if no one has a problem.

This is not exactly like MVF. Here, they dont say "NO WORK" like MVF. Children are allowed to work after school and school timings are also flexible. Moreover, all children need not stay in their hostels. Also, they provide vocational courses to make them, mechanics, beauticians, etc.

But the course they offer is like bridge course so as to enable children get back to school.

Deepti, u have a way of putting things that can really make one sit back and think... The way u present their side of the story is too good...

Reg point no 7, chk my previous post. Also, MVF wants us to start an English NL (to be circulated amongst other NGOs and Govt agencies). Incidentally shamz was also thinking on those lines. So prolly we can take a look at that as well.

Hi Neha,

I want to visit them again during this/next week on one of the working days. Cant make it this weekend ... I guess, Puneet (madmax on forum) was also thinking of visiting em ..
You can talk to Mr. Rajib over phone & fix an appointment. We dont have any timelines as far as getting back to him is concerned... He asked us to propagate this message & take our own time to come back..
