Little Santa 3.0
We successfully arranged new sweaters for our children and shawls for their parents to provide much-needed warmth during the upcoming winter season. Our initiative aimed to support underprivileged families by ensuring they stay comfortable and protected from the cold. By distributing these winter essentials, we are committed to caring for our community and helping them face the harsh winter months. This effort reflects our dedication to enhancing the well-being of children and their families. Stay connected for more updates on our winter charity drive and community support initiatives!
Awareness camp Creating a Better Future
We organized an Awareness Camp for the children of our Pathshala, focusing on essential life lessons such as right and wrong decisions, acceptable and unacceptable behaviors, and fostering positive behavioral attitudes. The camp emphasized the importance of mutual respect, standing up against injustice, and developing a strong moral foundation. We successfully conducted this event, and it was heartwarming to see both the children and their mothers genuinely delighted. They appreciated not only the gifts but also the impactful session designed to help the children grow into responsible and compassionate human beings. This Awareness Camp played a crucial role in character building and nurturing values that will shape their future.

Celebrating Durga Puja with Generosity: New Clothes & Sarees Gifted to Underprivileged Children and Mothers at Sahajpath Pathsala
This Durga Puja, the spirit of joy and giving took center stage as we celebrated one of Bengal’s most prestigious festivals by gifting new clothes and sarees to the underprivileged children of Sahajpath Pathsala and their mothers. The occasion was filled with happiness and togetherness as we came together to share the joy of Durga Puja with those who are less fortunate.
Our initiative aimed to spread festive cheer and empower families, ensuring that they too experience the warmth and excitement of the season. By providing new clothes and sarees, we not only contributed to the celebration of Durga Puja but also brought smiles to the faces of children and mothers in need.
Join us in spreading love and compassion during the festive season. Together, let’s make a difference in the lives of those who deserve it most!
Foundation Day Celebration with a Purpose
On our Foundation Day 29-07-2024, we celebrated with meaningful activities at Sahajpath. The children and their mothers took part in a tree-planting initiative around our pathsala in Bakkhali, contributing to local environmental efforts.
In addition, we held a Voluntary Blood Donation Camp in support of children affected by Thalassemia. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the donors who came forward to support this crucial cause.
As a gesture of appreciation and to underline our commitment to environmental sustainability, each blood donor received a tree as a gift. This symbolizes not only the life-saving importance of blood donation but also our dedication to nurturing the planet.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success. Together, we are positively impacting the lives of children and our environment.
Little Sunshine 2.0
As the monsoon season approaches, a heartwarming initiative has brought smiles to the faces of students of Sahajpath Pathsala in Bakkhali. A kind donation of umbrellas and raincoats has been distributed among these young minds, ensuring they can continue their daily routine without worrying about the rain.
The donation drive, organized by OCWE aims to support students from low-income backgrounds who often struggle to afford basic necessities like rain gear. The umbrellas and raincoats will not only keep them dry but also boost their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
The recipients of this thoughtful gesture were overjoyed, expressing their gratitude and excitement to continue their studies without interruption. This act of kindness has not only provided them with a sense of security but also reminded them that their community cares about their well-being.
As the monsoon season unfolds, these umbrellas and raincoats will serve as symbols of hope and compassion, inspiring others to make a difference in the lives of those around them.
Be Someone’s Santa 2.0

Sealdah and reached the place where we were welcomed
by people who treated us like family. The hospitality was
amazing. We met the kids who were excited and had hope
in their eyes. Their families were really dedicated to the
education and well being of their wards. Our purpose was
to setup a school for imparting education the rural children
who will be taught regularly by a teacher whom they
know,love and respect. One who belongs to their village.
We performed puja at the school. We did our bit by
distributing notebooks and stationary items along with
clothes for the children. We also provided blankets to their
families. We were graced by the presence of the village
elder who was very supportive. The place along with
amazing people has a scenic beauty which is appealing, it’s
a simple yet beautiful village with hardworking and hopeful
people who deserve your attention efforts and support.

Durgapujo Event 2023
On the occasion of Durga Puja,
OCWE handed over new dresses
and sarees to the children and
women of Durganagar village near
Bakkhali, so that they too could
celebrate Durga Puja by wearing
new dresses and sarees. Hope
they pass this year’s puja well. At
noon we spent the day happily
eating together with the children
and some of the villagers.
The "Bornoporichoy"
Besides Sundarbans this time we
reached Murshidabad, it would be
wrong to call the place a city, rather the
place is a tribal village about 35 km
from the city. The name of the village is
Hizrol, Suormari-danga where the
people of the tribal community live.
Their main livelihood is agriculture. All
the study materials have been
delivered to the children of a school in
that village and sanitary napkins for
one month have been given to the
women of the village.
Blood to Breathe
A Blood Donation camp was organized
by our organization at Thalassemic
Guardian Association Day Care Center
on 7th May 2023 on the occasion of
World Thalassemia Day. It was our little
attempt to make the life of thalassemic
patients a little easier on the path of
life. This day was very important during
the summer blood shortage problem. A
total of 118 blood donors donated
blood in the said blood donation camp
and made the blood donation camp a
grand success.
Project ALO
‘Alo’ is a new project of our organization.
Light removes all the darkness in our life.
Our initiative is based on the idea that
physical complications do not bring any
darkness in the lives of these people on
the outskirts of Shitaliya village of
Sundarbans, so that they too can lead a
beautiful and healthy life. Through this
project we will hand over sanitary napkins
to these people of Sundarbans every
month which are very necessary in their
daily life. We delivered 50 packets of
sanitary napkins to Shitaliya village in
Sundarbans in April, 2023 to make the
women of the village aware of their
health. There are many more works
coming in the future under our ‘Project
Alo’.
Project Bornoporichoy
In the first phase, we have been able to hand over
200 notebooks to the students of Anand Niketan
Pathshala in Sundarbans through Project
Bornoporichoy. Apart from Sundarbans, our
organization has taken the initiative of providing
books, pens and pencils, i.e. all study materials, to
some schools in several other districts throughout
the year, all the study materials will be provided by
us to the children of the school there.
Be Someone’s Santa
On January, 2023 We hand over
new Jacket to all the children of
“Anand Niketan Pathshala (Sitalia
Branch)” in Sundarbans, along with
this, we are provide Two Carpets in
the classroom, so that they don’t
have difficulty sitting in the cold,
and we are hand over Blankets to
some poor elderly people in the
area. On that day we have lunch
together with each child. We spent
the whole day with them.
Little Sunshine
On the occasion of Children’s Day, we
reached Pakhirala Pathshala. We
celebrate Children’s Day with every
child of the school having a drawing
competition among the children on
that day. After the drawing competition
we give each child a drawing book and
colored pencils. On that day we have
lunch together with each child. We
spent the whole day talking and having
fun with them and with them we were
also going back to our childhood.
Durgapujo Event
On the day of Mahalaya (25th
September, 2022) we reached the
children of Pakhira Pathshala. On
the occasion of Durga Puja, we
give each of them new clothes (T-
Shirt ,Pant), so that they can
spend Durga Puja wearing new
dress. We also provide them with
all their study materials, a white
board for Pathsala and some
sports materials like cricket bat,
ball chess, ludo, football etc.
Women Empowerment Program
The women’s self-reliance project runs in some
villages of Sundarbans. The self-reliance project
currently runs in the villages where our Schools
are located. They do sewing, rearing chickens,
rearing goats, making kantha, making ghee etc.
We sell these things made by them in Kolkata
and among people in different parts of the
country. The profit earned from this gives the
women money which motivates them to work
more. As a result of this income, the men as well
as the women of the house become self-reliant
and are able to meet the needs of the family. In
addition to earning, their handiwork spread to
different people from different parts of the
country. Through this, in our patriarchal society,
women become equal to men, their respect in
society increases and to a large extent, women
reach higher positions than men.
