What is Letters for Change?

Letters for Change (LFC) is an initiative by children for children.

It is a movement that aims to create a world where every child can speak up!

LFC is an entirely student-run initiative that helps children to build confidence to express themselves through handwritten letters.

With our inclusive culture, we aspire to create a safe space where children are free to communicate their ideas and opinions without any fear.

How the Story Unfolded

It all began with a letter to Mr. Anand Mahindra from an 11-year-old girl named Mahika Mishra. The letter expressed her concern over noise pollution. Mr. Anand Mahindra was so impressed by her letter that he tweeted it and it swiftly went viral. Many news sites covered it and praised her for her suggestion.

Mahika was happy and proud, but she also had a question in her mind: “If one letter can create a difference, then what if every child like me wrote a letter?” She wanted to create a platform where kids could write letters to anyone who could help them with their problems. She wanted to empower them to use their voice to change their lives and others.

That’s how LFC was born. A platform that encourages children to be changemakers, one letter at a time.

Poetry stirs with words so bright,
It makes us laugh, it makes us fight.
In rhythm, rhyme, the truth we find,
A world that moves the heart and mind.

With today's letter/poem we wish to raise the voice of a young poet speaking on the issues of caste and gender.
We wish to reach and amplify more such voices.

Join @lettersforchange_ ×@dilsekhelo_india, for a Live session on the topic- "the struggles women face in sports"
This topic was selected in response to recent events, where according to a scroll.in article- "out of the 18 sports, India competed in at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, only two sports federations had women at the helm"
It also highlighted the very nature of the sporting world which is a "grossly male-dominated field with men occupying the key decision making roles.."
In another recent article, "Hundreds of Indian wrestlers, including Olympic medal winning champions, protested in Delhi last month accusing officials, including the president of their federation of sexual harrasment. This sparked outrage in the country and once again raised concerns about the safety of female athletes in the south asian nation" (fairplanet.org)

At LFC, many letters that we have received from children have expressed the same concerns, regarding the lack of opportunities that are often overlooked, and the widespread sexual abuse that is seen in the sporting world. We wish to take these issues very seriously, by discussing these challenges in this Live session with @prashant888m, who is the co-founder of @dilsekhelo_india, an ngo aiming to empower kids through sports.

We wish to see you at this session and hopefully make it as engaging as ever!

A very Happy World Children's Day!

This day is celebrated to raise awareness about issues like education, child labour, inequality and healthcare access, encouraging global action to address these challenges.
For LFC, this day is a reminder of why we wish to amplify voices!

"In recent years, there has been a growing effort

"In recent years, there has been a growing effort to promote gender equality in sports, but still, a lot of barriers exist for women athletes, like economic, socio-cultural, male domination, sexual abuse and harrassment, lack of family support, and a host of other issues."
(https://kspp.edu.in/blogs/women-in-sports-triumphs-and-challenges-in-india)

This statement, effectively captures the essence of today's discussion on the many challenges that women encounter in sports.
The letters shared today, highlight these very issues and show us how important it has become to acknowledge these problems, since it directly impacts the future generations.

We wish to take these issues more seriously by conducting an upcoming live session on the topic "AGAINST THE ODDS : The struggles women face in sports" along with @dilsekhelo_india, @prashant888m soon!
(So keep an eye out, we will keep you posted ;)
Our goal is to ensure that the voices speaking out can be amplified!

"Not every idea was epic, but the memories were..."

Losing touch with a childhood friend evokes nostalgia for the carefree moments that were once shared. Through these letters we are reminded of those friendships, once filled with laughter and adventures, that now remind us of simpler times and the bittersweet nature of growing apart.

Let's relive our memories, and embrace the voices that share their stories!
