Hats off to this 15 year old Dayita Wable, a girl of Indian Origin residing in Tampa, Florida, USA. She is in India on a holiday with her grand parents. She is volunteering with TRISHUL for "Trishul Learning Centre Project" as a part of her community service. Her whole hearten selfless dedication to do something for needy is highly appreciable. She has done a marvelous work for Trishul Kids, who have become her big fan in just a matter of few days.
And they are going to miss her when she is gone back to US, as says the words in the song she has taught them.
Below, learning with Songs Workshop at Trishul Learning Centre in progress.

Date: May 1st 2014.
Timings: 10:30 am to 12:00 pm.
Location: Josep Patel Wadi,Seven Bunglows, Andheri West,  5 minutes walk from Versova Welfare School along same lane (Map given at bottom of page).

Scope of Campaign: May 1^st, 2014. We plan to plant around 40 to 50 Saplings’ on this date. These saplings would be of Herbs and Plants like (Tulsi; Lemon Tea Grass; Vegetable Climbers like (beans, Mayalu etc); Curry Leaves (Kadi Patta) etc). Flowering shrubs (selected shrubs the flowers that can be used in Puja).

Support Required: Volunteers; Saplings of plants requested above; Snack / Water for the volunteers.

 We plan to create a Plant Nursery at Waste Recycle site located at Joseph Patel Wadi; Near Seven Bunglows. This Garden would be created with support of local residents living at Josep Patel Wadi strongly supported by Children's group who are part of "Trishul Learning Centre", Women Empowerment Cell at "Trishul Learning Centre" and Local Youth from Joseph Patel Wadi. Any individuals interested in supporting the cause of Waste Recycle cause are welcome to support the campaign.

Contacts to register as volunteer or for contributions: 
M. Asif - 9619182010 / Lopa 9821694994

The Nursery garden will have plants like vegetables (climbers); Herbs; Shrubs; beside flower plants. We plan to involve Children and Women from Trishul Learning Centre (Children’s wing and Women Empowerment Wing) to start participate in the project. These Women and Children are from local slum, hence will encourage active local voluntary participation. We plan to use the compost generated at site to build the Nursery and Vegetable Garden at the site. These vegetables; Nursery Plants and flower plant will be used for captive consumption and/or also available for commercial sale.  

Maximum capacity of  waste that can be collected at the waste recycle site is: 500 KGs per week or 2 Tons per month.

Plan is to install two waste collection bins at compost treatment site to encourage voluntary deposit of waste cut vegetables and flowers at the site. Infected waste will not be dumped in the area as the composting area is very near to residential colonies.

Trishul Learning Centre

Trishul Learning Center

Our objective at Trishul Learning Centre (TLC) is to help children from economically weaker communities in rural areas and urban slums build a strong educational foundation, develop self-esteem, and assimilate values, which will help them maximise their potential and become economically independent and responsible citizens.

At Trishul, we believe education and life skills development are primary stepping stones for children from less-privileged communities to enter the mainstream economy and lead a better-quality life. 

At TLC, we provide free learning facility to children, focussing on Math, Science, and English. We blend our coaching with activity-based learning, project work, field trips, arts, crafts, sports and unstructured play to facilitate holistic development of the children. Expert counselling and mentoring sessions on career and personality development are also conducted by visiting faculty.
