80 A beautiful and humbling initiative by two friends who are themselves struggling with and braving poverty on a day to day basis. The parents of the children are predominently migrant labour who survive doing odd jobs. Most of the kids have no education because the parents don't have the time or the resources to send them to school. Rajesh Sharma and Laxmi Chandra visit the neighbouring slums and counsel the parents to send their children to them so that they may prepare them for school. They promote the benefits of literacy and the child's Right to Education in the country.

Mr. Laxmi Chandra is a scholar who lives in poverty and has dedicated his life to teaching underprivileged children all across India. He teaches all subjects - especially to the senior class students - and loves teaching physics. Rajesh runs a small provision store nearby. His commitment to helping these children is commendable. He teaches the smaller children in the group. The two of them together help mainstream these in the neighbouring Government run schools after familiarizing and equipping them with basic Primary School level education.

85 In 1995, Baba John Dayal established an orphanage by the name of "Bal Vihar". He began with only four children and no money in hand. Bal Vihar emerged from the need to provide care and protection to children who are orphans or from broken families, and have been languishing in the quagmire of apathy and distress. The police, J.J. Slum department and various other social organizations and workers have been bringing children to this orphanage. The home currently does not provide an adoption facility. However, the society is pursuing permission to do so from the concerned government department.

With generous contributions from neighbors and well-wishers within the country and abroad since 1995, the society today owns two shelter homes with a total built up space of approximately 300 yards for girls and small boys in Mahavir Enclave, Palam, and another 220 yards for elder boys at New Vision Colony, Najafgarth, to house all children and also has a strong support staff and volunteers who provide assistance in running the orphanage.

All the children are sent to neighbourhood schools and provided remedial classes/tuitions in the evening, besides being provided comfortable accomodation and a caring environment.
