We have come a long way, people no longer hesitate to share their struggles and are not asked to “KEEP SMILING” when everything is falling apart. This generation - Our generation brought realness, that understands- that failure is not the ending - it is part of starting and a way to success. They began speaking openly about Mental Health, Rejection, menstruation, and fear.
But even now, not everyone has the luxury or comfort In life to express these things freely—and that’s something we must continue to change.
That’s why organisations like Pehchaan The Street School matter. Pehchaan the Street School is a ten-year-old organisation and have been providing free education to the underprivileged children. They are volunteer-driven organisation, most of whom are school or college students.
