Pune, Maharashtra, India, Republic of (Free-Press-Release.com) July 29, 2011 --
Many times, lesser fortunate people like Paradhis and other nomadic tribes who have been branded for life as thieves and dacoits, in spite of their sterling contribution to our society, throughout history, with their artisan and fighting skills, are subject to hardships and disrespect in life. To save them from these atrocities, Bhatke Vimukta Vikas Pratishthan (BVVP) has plunged into an uphill task of giving them a decent and respectful life. Know more about the contribution of the BVVP and the Yamgarwadi Project only on Garja Maharashtra, Saturday, 30th July 2011 at 8:30 pm on IBN-Lokmat.

Yamgarwadi is a small village located in Osmanabad district of Maharashtra. Yamgarwadi Project was started in 1993 on an 18 acre land donated by an ex-service man, Shri Ramesh Chatufale. Initially there were 25 boys who volunteered to work for the underprivileged but now the project has grown into a multifaceted one. The BVVP started primary schools, secondary schools, girls’ hostel etc for the upliftment and education of the nomadic tribes. Nomadic gypsy communities are always on the move and so their children are not vaccinated, resulting in high incidence of minor or even crippling diseases. For this reason the Yamgarwadi Project also started a health center where some socially committed pediatricians, gynecologists and pathologists visit the sites regularly to inspect the health of the students. They also provide medicines and related services.

BVVP has recently purchased 20 acres of land where they plan to set up a school up to SSC level offering job-oriented courses. The school will have a hostel, playground, full-fledged kitchen, residential accommodation for teaching as well as non-teaching staff and house green projects like water harvesting, etc.

The aim of the BVVP and Yamgarwadi Project is to educate the tribes, imbibe their children with good values and train them for the new world with an ambition to come out of this life of depravity. Know more about this organization and its interesting path on Saturday 30th July 2011 at 8:30 pm in Garja Maharashtra only on IBN-Lokmat.

You can also watch a repeat of this episode on Sunday i.e. 31st July 2011 at 11:30 am.

wilmington, North Carolina, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 15, 2011 --

REPLAN IT chronicles the efforts of Jock Brandis, MIT fellow, Popular Mechanics darling and CNN Hero. As one of the world’s leading authorities in the field of appropriate technology, Brandis inspires people worldwide to affect powerful social and economic change. He and his non-profit organization, the Full Belly Project (www.thefullbellyproject.org), accomplish this by introducing sustainable machinery and engineering techniques specific to the diverse regions of the world, from an impoverished village in Malawi to a family farm in rural Rutherford, North Carolina. Be it a gravity-powered water pump, portable solar power or a simple schoolhouse desk and chair, the technology involves low cost indigenous materials that are readily available. These devices are constructed, operated and maintained by the local communities with limited outside assistance.

REPLAN IT is a production of Common Sense Films. The Wilmington, North Carolina-based multi-media company invested nearly five years developing and producing this documentary program, capturing the true spirit of a unique individual and a brilliant mind at work. Starting in 2006, filmmaker Rob Hill accompanied Brandis to villages in developing nations, videotaping over 120 hours while documenting Brandis at work in the field.
