Provocative, inspiring new video from investee organisation Arpan. Pooja Taparia and her team are at the forefront of the movement to prevent child sexual abuse and heal its survivors. The day they achieve their mission - a society free from child sexual abuse - can't come soon enough.

Prashant Borhade is one of UnLtd India's youngest investees. The son of domestic workers, he grew up in a basti in which his parents pushed hard to keep him in school. Unfortunately, within Bombay's under-resourced municipal education system, many students don't receive the attention they need to develop academically. Prashant launched JYOT to provide supplemental classes to the children in his slum.  

Prashant and his team do great work - they use art, games, and fun to get kids excited about learning. JYOT enables children to learn life skills and connect to each other and their community in positive ways. But what's truly remarkable is the story behind the initiative.

Prashant's journey in launching JYOT is the spotlight of The Freedom of Expression Movement's first "Film for Change." TFOEM (also an UnLtd India investee) is producing ten of these films - each featuring a different investee - by partnering up with passionate filmmakers and funders.

After you watch this video, be sure to check out TFOEM's social network, bethekey.in, for the rest of the films as they get released. And share this video far and wide! TFOEM donates Rs 5 to JYOT every time someone views it.

Well done TFOEM, JYOT, and everyone involved in the creation of this fine film.

Regular readers of this blog know that investee organisation Blind with Camera teaches photography to visually-impaired and blind people. The art that participants create is stunning - be sure to visit the online galleries - and the impact that the organisation has on both sighted and non-sighted people is tremendous. 

In Bombay, we've been lucky to have regular access to Blind with Camera's mind-opening exhibitions and programmes. In a few days, the people of London will get a chance to see the world through the lens of the blind as well.  On 26th November, investee Partho Bhomwick and his team will present The View from Here, an illustrated history of Blind with Camera, at the Nehru Center.

If you're in London, this is a special opportunity not to be missed. More information is in the invite below.
