Child Rights Day Celebrations
International child rights day was celebrated on 20th November at Andhra Mahila Sabha, Hyderabad. Children from 'Aashirwad' participated in a meeting organised by International Labour Organisation (ILO), UNICEF and Andhra Mahila Sabha. Children of 'Aashirwad' were given an opportunity to speak on their experiences as child laborers besides participating in cultural events. 

Since the response from the communities served by CHORD was apparently found to be very encouraging and the response for 'Project Aashirwad' has been very satisfying. All sections of the society comprising of the Government Departments, local citizen groups, like minded donors, NRIs, other NGO's and the beneficiary communities have all extended commendable support and co-operation in making Aashirwad a model Transit School in the twin cities. It was so encouraging that CHORD intends to launch more such transit schools in the vicinity of the twin cities in its quest to eliminate to child labour and to help urban poor.
