I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Pardisan
and the people involved to you.
Pardisan was created in 2012 by Dushyant Bhat, with the aim
of primarily empowering the local women in need through social enterprise, via
arts and crafts using recycled and natural materials sourced from the local
area, as much as possible. Through sourcing from the local area, we will be
helping the local economy too.
Other activities that Pardisan will be involved in are the
environment, conservation, recycling, rehabilitation of destitute and abused
victims, education, training, helping the needy. Although our work will be
mainly in the District of Udhampur, anyone in need regardless of where they are
will not be ignored.
Pardisan has five Trustees, Dushyant Bhat, Roxy Sharma,
Tarun Khajuri and Vishant Baru all local to Udhampur and Ann Hawkins from the
UK. Between us we have various degrees
of experience covering a wide area. But the main thing we have is the passion
and drive to go out there and help as many people as possible, so that they can
help themselves and others around them in return.
Our upcoming plans for the immediate future as follows:
1. a. Spoken
English Classes will commence at Little Angels High School, Monday 4th
March. Each course will be for 8 weeks at a time at a charge of Rs.2000/- per
student.
b. Corporate
training courses available for Spoken English, Communication Skills and
Cross-culture. Please contact us for more details.
All fees collected from these activities will be paid directly into
Pardisan, so that we can help others who are less fortunate and who need our
help.
c. Recycle
drives. Requesting our supports to donate old clothes, fabrics, newspapers,
magazines, materials of any kind, so that we can train people to make items
that can then be sold to raise funds and for the people making these items can
earn a living.
3. Marketing of Pardisan – We will be
issuing a press release very soon to the local media in the area. To inform the
local population that we are here, that we require donations, financial and in
kind, and to create awareness to people who may need our help, that they have
someone here who will help them in whatever way we can.
We are making sure that we, the trustee’s, are
being seen, meeting as many people as possible. Including business heads,
business owners, government departments, the legal profession, village elders
and villagers and towns’ people.
Please let all your family and friends know about us, and
forward this newsletter to as many people as possible. If you are not already
doing so, then please follow us on Facebook, www.facebook.com/pages/pardisan
