Heavenly Radha and Krishna at Iskcon Chowpatty...Earlier I used to go to Juhu Iskcon to do their darshan...They have realized that I am getting older...so they have come closer to where I live!



Alongside Radha Krishna Prabhoo presenting the brilliant concept of Mid-day meals:
Strategic program to address two of the most pressing problems of India : Hunger & Education. The Government of India has made education for children in the age group of 6 to 14 years compulsory, but poverty prevents the underprivileged from getting full value of their educational experience.


Hunger obstructs education as children are forced to leave schools and take up menial jobs. Lack of education curtails opportunities for development and leads to the vicious cycle of poverty and hunger. Education empowers a child to explore his potentials and earn a decent living and live a respectable life in our society.

ISKCON FOOD RELIEF FOUNDATION, has resolved to liberate the underprivileged from this vicious cycle by feeding the poor with sanctified and nutritious food.

In just three years since it was founded, the program has scaled to provide over 1,00,000 hygienic and nutritious meals every day through an extremely cost-effective program. MIDDAY MEAL has demonstrated and is now showcased as an operating model that can strategically address two of the most pressing problems for poor children in India : hunger and education.

Our goal is to scale the program to serve over 5,00,000 children per day by 2009. We believe success on that scale will offer a model of replication by other developmental organizations and State Governments across India .

To many of our children, the MIDDAY MEAL is the only complete meal that they have access to during the entire day. This has produced dramatic results in terms of enrolment, attendance, and attention spans.

We are seeking your assistance to grow MIDDAY MEAL and to make it a model for addressing a large and desperate problem for children in India .

ISKCON FOOD RELIEF FOUNDATION NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

Together We can make a world of Difference, remember the children of today are our promising hope of Tomorrow, let us make our tomorrow bright by working on our today.
