Hairdresser Training

At Free To Be Kids we always aim to help children to fulfil their dreams. One boy that we have supported for the past  12years, has completed his class 10 in this year, and he has a long term dream of learning Hair Designing.  Our team searched for and found a good college for him and are funding his studies at this reputed college. He has taken admission in the Diploma in Hair Designing course from Keya Seth College of Beauty.  We believe this will be a wonderful step for him in achieving his dream in the future.

New School Smiles

This little girl has been coming to our education program for the last two years. Her father is a rickshaw driver, and her mother is a housewife. Her family was unable to fill up the school admission forms so our FTBK team happily went with the parents and assisted them to fill in the school forms. It's a privilege to help families in this way.

Goonj Gift Distribution

Free To Be Kids team distributed gift packs in multiple areas of Kolkata to people in need. The packets contained lentils, Shoes, Blankets and sweaters. A good number of people living in the slums we work in are daily labours and they do not own their own land, they are squatting on Government Land. The people who live in this area are struggling with poverty. Those small gifts brought a lot of happiness to their faces. This program helped FTBK team to extend our good relationships with the community.
