The Show

Our 2 year long project participants of the Empowerment of Women project from the untouchble community participated at a local fashion show promoting Khadi (cotton hand women fabric) on the 17th of October. The girls participated in 3 different rounds on the run way. The NIFD Institute accepted our request for letting our girls be their models for the day. My friend Kamlesh choreographed and dress designed for the show with other designers. It appeared in the newspaper.

Chandani's Story

Chandani's mum got murdered by her father, she didn't bring enough dowry and got burnt away!!! This was the time when Chandani was 8 months old. Just before her mum died she gave Chandani's responsibility to her mother and father and she forgave her husband. Chandani was raised by her mother's mum and father, her grand-parents. Some time back her grandfather also passed away. When he was alive he always wanted to see Chandani as princess in between many people. Chandani's grand ma came and joined us to witness Chandani on the ramp, the lady could not hold her tears and thanked us soo much. She saw her husband's dream come true and fulfilled the promise she gave to Chandani's mum that they will raise this girl in a very excellent manner.
