U n’ I with Rashmi Shetty- Haimanti Sen

U n’ I with Rashmi Shetty will be Celebrating Women and the amazing work that they do all of March.
The first in the series is the inspirational Haimanti Sen- a 25 yr old social entrepreneur who is a psychology and sociology graduate from Mumbai University. She founded an NGO named Junoon in 2018, with the aim of helping underprivileged children to avail of basic education. Junoon is a team of 9 members today and 30 volunteers, and they provide basic education to children living in streets and slums through music, art, dance, plays, and other educational trips. Obviously, the execution of this idea was a challenge for Haimanti. Where would she teach the children? Would their parents allow them to come? Would any school offer help? But despite all of that, she figured her way out. But it did not end there. Whenever she would sit on the skywalk to teach the kids, local commuters would criticize her, one of them even called the cops. She wanted to give up too sometimes, but the enthusiasm in the children’s eyes is what kept her going. She and her team recognized the main areas that were affecting the overall development of a child, which were nutrition, healthcare, education, and family dynamics. So they look for innovative ways to deal with the challenges like daily meals, health check-ups, and family counseling to name a few. Today Haimanti is a speaker at World Tolerance Summit, has won the Rex Karamveer Award 2019, Teacher Warrior Award 2019, and has also been a TEDx speaker. She definitely is a role model to today’s youth.
