THE UDAYAN CARE SUNRISE
Vol. I, No. 7
Highlights of March – April, 2008
Udayan Care is a Public Charitable Trust, working for the last 14 years, for the quality care of disadvantaged children and women. The vision is to ‘Regenerate the rhythm of life of the disadvantaged’.
Eventful days!
With the active participation of Sanjay Gupta and Anurag Gupta from American Express, and their team of volunteers, such as Archana Bhatia (HR) and Atul Kapoor (Finance) as well as volunteers from their process management team, we are all geared up to improvise best practices as well as evolve a manual of policies and procedures for consolidation and expansion of our programmes.
Policy Matters
Our Policy on Child Protection got finalised with the help of a German volunteer, Ms. Melanie Effenburger. Almost 3 months were spent on this very participatory process with all the stakeholders, mentor parents, the professional staff, caregivers, volunteers and children.
We participated in various consultations, including the one organized by Prayas on J.J.Rules, and QIC&AC.
Udayan Shalini Fellowships Programme is now geared up for launching the chapters in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, and Dehradoon, Uttaranchal.
Now we have over 64 children affected with HIV/AIDS in our fold. Indian Oil Corporation and Mr. Seth Call also joined in to support our Udayan Outreach Programme with the existing donors like Kidstuf Promos & Events and some individuals.
Our Uttam Nagar Computer Training and Learning Center was shifted to Greater Noida. The strength at our 5 centers grew up to 3052.

Julien Lesenechal and Antoine from France finished their voluntary assignment at the Gurgaon home after 5 months, and left behind a beautiful, artistic impression on the walls of newly painted home.

We extend our thanks to Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication and Jaypee Business School, Noida for sending their students to our organization for summer training/ internship. We wish to have a long-term association with these institutions.
Aiming at Perfection !
