Participatory method: A New and Interactive way to Enhance Children's learning
In a report by the World Bank Group (2018), 10 countries had a significant number of migrant children who had been living without their parents. Such kind of migration is usually encapsulated as internal migration of children i.e. is the movement of the children within national boundaries. While many organisations have committed their resources and energies towards the cause, which requires our special attention, howsoever Salam Balak Trust is one name which always remains at the top of the list. They have pioneered in aspects of inclusion and providing basic education to migrant children...
International Day for Persons with Disabilities: The power of finding your voice
Start with yourself!
We have always stressed the importance of smiling at the face of our friends and distant neighbor and helping others. And we are fully aware of the love we feel when we help older people or when we play with little boys, but what made me remember these words again is that I no longer see any effect of it on reality! Perhaps what inspired me to write this article is that we are aware of the importance of the individuals to society, and that they cannot grow apart from their community. They need friends and family to stand with them in pain and joy, but what we do today is very different from...
CULTURE
Culture is our structure, which we live with no fracture. In it we look in good future, for all human creature. The mixture of our features, gives us perfect picture. The texture of our culture, doesn't need any fixture. One who doesn't practice his culture, consider him a premature in nature/ CULTURE IS OUR SIGNATURE.
First Came the Temple, Then the City
*This article was originally written and published in July 2016 at UNICEF Voices of Youth’s former website. It has since been moved here. In my hometown we often talk about the unappreciated and underrated treasures of our country. I frequently find myself in such conversations, and the one that led me to write this post was about Göbeklitepe, a pre-historic site in Southeastern Turkey. Known to be “the oldest temple of the world”, Göbeklitepe is dated back to Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Period (c. 9600–7300 BC). The peculiarity of the Göbeklitepe site lies in that it contradicts what the studies...
From the #MeToo movement to debates about gender: 5 stories you really liked on Voices of Youth in 2019
How Trade School Can Help Solve the U.S. Income Gap
The American dream: you grow up. Get a college education. Land a good job and then buy a house and start a family, and you and yours are set for life. It’s a nice story — but if the Great Recession of 2008 taught us anything, it’s that, all too often, stories are just that: stories. For many, that story may not even begin with a college degree, no matter what mom, dad, or teacher might say. Still, the new millennium is not a friendly time for trade schools in the US, either. For too many prospective students and their families, the nearly five decades old stigma against trade schools persists...
More "competition culture" for the youth!
When a competition is held, both participants who had waited for the longest time to showcase their skills and participants who had never considered competing before coming across the competition's announcement, would be willing to participate. A competition is a great opportunity for each to officially prove themselves. Here is why I encourage competitions to be set. 1) I personally know someone who took part in a competition established by an international institute, she is currently employed by a big 4 company alongside many other previous competitors, so, competitions are a great way for...
The education system is moving us backwards
The education system is probably one of the longest running systems in the world. Since the beginning, education has existed in one way or another. People teaching each other hunting methods, stories and even generational education of certain skills and family practices. The goal of the formal education system was to educate pupils on theory rather than practical skills. Since then, very little has changed on the style of teaching, which is a problem seeing how much has changed and is still changing around us. It's probably the most important part in development of not only the mind but the...
My journey : Climate Digital Mapping
Once upon a time, I was born. A couple took me in and gave me a shelter. They took care of me, gave me water every day and gave me plenty of boosters when I was sick. I grew up with all the warmth and affection they gave me and I considered them to be family. I gave them everything I could and to the best of my ability. We were all a very happy family and we were living peacefully and joyfully. But then one day, a person called money came and started to ruin this beautiful relationship. Things turned sour and our little family was nearly destroyed. I could not do anything, I was condemned to...
Breaking the myths about the hymen
Telling you guys honestly, it took me a long time to decide whether or not I should write about this subject. I am aware that this is a very sensitive subject in various part of the world but I just feel that I need to talk about it so that women will stop facing injustice and people will no longer believe the myths about hymen. If people didn’t raise their voice against FGM, it would not have ended so I do hope that my post will bring a change in many people lives and after reading this post, you might learn something new. First off, contrary to what girls are often led to believe, “the hymen...
#HappyToBleed
Yes menstruation. You figured it right, that’s what I’m talking about. No, it is not, a taboo, a dirty subject, a process that girls should feel ashamed of because it is- “socially incorrect” , a topic that people can’t discuss openly and respectfully, a truth that girls need to hide or something that men should not know about. I assure you guys, it’s not an embarrassing subject at all and I know that some people might feel uneasy because I’m posting about this topic, but we need to discuss openly about this subject to be able to tackle various issues related to menstruation and gender...
Because We Ignore Animal Rights
‘We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. Albert Schweitzer The love for animals is my most noble attribute. Growing up, I have seen animals being treated so poorly and it breaks my heart into million pieces to see them suffer in the hands of humans. I remember when I was little and my favorite dog “Simba...
Architecture "a dying profession in India"
Architecture is one the toughest courses in India. Being the toughest and costliest, you struggle to find a job and survive. The salaries offered are not worth and not up to the mark of your potential, and are more or less equal to the salary of a cab driver or maybe less. What's the use of investing so much on this profession and getting nothing? I have completed my architecture course this year, and now I'm an architect but it's hard to survive in any city. I'm working in Pune (Maharashtra). But here the employment conditions and opportunities are few. But you need to survive with that, go...
The things I'm doing during quarantine

We have been quarantined for three weeks (21 days) in Kabul the capital of Afghanistan. What are some of the things I'm doing during this period? Not going outside - I stay home all day.

My purpose behind watching the videos...
