A tiny fire can burn bright, so goes the saying.
And the spark provided by the Light of Life Trust (LOLT), established in 2002, hopes to create a burning fire of awareness, through its outreach programmes. LOLT is an NGO that seeks to transform the lives of the underprivileged by focusing on the three Es -Education, Empowerment and Employability.
Better articulated by its founder Villy Doctor, "We believe that roots must be strengthened and nurtured in order to grow healthy plants. Our roots are the rural people of India. We nourish this foundation through education and the creation of a holistic community living environment and provision of health care so that our people can flower into healthy, wholesome and happy individuals."
LOLT has established its presence across 361 villages in Maharashtra and impacted over 2,000 children and their families. Immense research and resources have been invested in these pilot projects to create templates and models that can be efficiently replicated anywhere, across the nation. Its programmes receive excellent feedback from Indian and International NGO communities as well as the support of the government.
This year the organisation has embarked upon a unique project, Jagruti, to build a holistic community that will integrate three generations. It is a wholesome environment for homeless children, destitute women, and deprived senior citizens to live in.
Always known for having a large heart, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has pledged his support for this NGO. "I will always be available for the great work the Light of Life is doing. I look forward to participating even more at the Community Center, Jagruti in Karjat, when it opens."
And summing up all that this NGO has done so far and has to offer, will be an audio visual event, tonight at the Crystal Room, Taj Colaba, 7.30 pm.
