Hey everyone,
Hey everyone,
I am thrilled to invite you all to our very own Craft Bazaar,
of colorful products hand-made by our own Hamara Footpath kids - the street kids of Churchgate!
For two weeks, Hamara Footpath along with
Dhoop (a handicraft store in Bandra) & Matrushakti ( an organization that promotes creative skills in under-privilidged children),
have been conducting craft workshops, with 20 street kids,
in the Dhoop office compound in Bandra.
At the workshop, the kids were encouraged to use raw material,
easily available to them ( coconut shells, chai glasses, broken glass bangles, match-boxes and beer bottles etc.)
and create products like danglers, candle holders, fridge magnets, table mats etc.
All of us know that selling gajras or coloring books on the signal is a losing proposition.
We hope these workshops have taught our kids new skills
and we hope will lead to better opportunities for them.
On behalf of all the street kids, their families, and whole Hamara Footpath family,
we would like to invite you to Dhoop ( 1st floor, Sheetal Apts, Corner of Union Park & Ambedkar Rd, Khar (W) - # 022 649 8646 / 47 )
on Friday, 29 May, to meet the kids and their products ( the bazaar is on till the products last!)
Please see the attached invite for details.

We look forward to your presence and your valuable inputs.
Let us know what you think and how we could take this forward. :)
See ya!
Love
Nupur
Hamara Footpath
