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 />
