Slumdog Millionaire
Did you enjoy the Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’? It was filmed in the same slum community (Dharavi) where Pratham had its origins. Although the movie is a wonderful portrayal of the tenacity and spirit of the youngsters and the triumph of hope over adversity, it is a sobering window on the hardships faced by slum children and their families everywhere. The reality in the slums is sometimes harsher than portrayed in the movie, but with a determined effort by NGOs such as Pratham and the support of people like you, there is a light at the end of the sewerpipe for these kids.

Canadian High School Grads raise money for Pratham
Pratham Canada’s ‘Bollywood in the Park’ event on Canada Day 2010
Talk about public-spirited young people! A group of high school students in Fredericton NB decided to forego cherished Prom traditions - instead of spending hundreds of dollars on Prom dresses and accessories, they channelled the money into a large donation to Pratham. Their group -Graduates Without Borders/Finissants sans Fronitieres -supports worthwhile causes by raising awareness and funds through various initiatives.
Pratham Canada is very grateful and proud to be associated with such a fine group of young people and we wish them the very best in their future endeavours. Bravo!
