I've heard of an NGO 'Yuva Unstoppable' working in Ahmedabad for underprivileged children. If anyone knows about it please share some information. What are their areas of work and how to contact them. Thanks.
Hi Sejal, YuVa Unstoppable is doing a wonderful job in Ahmedabad. I have a friend who is also associated with the organization. You can check out a few of their projects in Ahmedabad like Samvedana - Vadej Activities: It’s a municipal school. YuVA provides service here to 400 kids from last 3 years. B.P.A. - IIM Char Rasta Activities: providing education to blind kids. YuVA is helping them in recording and writing. Visamo Kids - Bopal Activities: A Visamo kids is an initiative of calorax foundation. They provide shelter and top class education to underprivileged kids. We help them in achieving their objective. Feed the Hungry - Near Drive-In Activities: We run this project in a municipal school. We started this project only to feed the children and now have started teaching children as well those interested and playing games. Sparsh Activities: This is a street school. We run it on every weekend. We give education to almost 50 kids. It’s YuVA’s own project.
YuVa Unstoppable is also doing commendable work in Baroda. Apart from their active role in TOI's Teach India initiative, YuVa undertakes several humanitarian projects . A few significant among these are: <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <wunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <wontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:536871559 0 0 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} p.style5, li.style5, div.style5 {mso-style-name:style5; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> Physically Handicap: This place is for all those children who are physically handicap.

Arpan – School of Mentally Challenged: This place shelters physically disabled or mentally handicapped kids. This unique project not only challenges the patience of the volunteers but also instills a more humane attitude in them. Sharing quality time with the kiddies and undertaking activities such as will appeal to their innocent minds- singing jingles, dancing, so on and so forth are the quintessential YuVA Unstoppable features of this place.
