Interfaith Youth Core<br />
The Hope Project implemented the Interfaith Youth<br />
Program sponsored by Inter-faith Youth Core, Chicago,<br />
USA. It was the first time that 52 young adults (both male<br />
and female) from the community visited the religious<br />
places of all faiths (Jama Masjid, Bangla Sahib Gurdwara,<br />
Judah Hyam, Birla Mandir, and Sacred Heart Cathedral).<br />
This exposure developed mutual respect for the different<br />
religions and a relationship based on shared values.<br />
Participants were also trained in 'First Aid' by the Red Cross<br />
Society and each was given a First Aid Box to help his/her<br />
neighbor in an emergency. This is intended to create a sense<br />
of community that would go a long way to ensure peace,<br />
tranquility, and harmony.<br />

The guided tour through the Basti continued to attract individuals and<br />
groups from different countries of the world. The trained youth are<br />
given an opportunity to learn about the unique heritage of the basti<br />
and share it with the rest of the world. While the young guides have<br />
earned a modest income through these tours, the visibility of the Hope<br />
Project has significantly increased. During the year 2010-11, as many<br />
as 52 travelers from UK, USA, Netherland, Germany, Singapore,<br />
France, Switzerland, Australia, Canada and India visited the Basti and<br />
the Hope Project. A few remarks:<br />
