For Vinimay
Vinimay is an NGO working for under-privileged children and youth staying in, and emerging out of child welfare institutions in Mumbai. From July 2010, I have started volunteering as a member of the editorial team that publishes their bi-annual newsletter called Vinimag (select previous issues available here) which typically covers the success stories of beneficiaries, profiles of volunteers, family tracing of children and a round-up of the activities of the last six months. Below are a list of articles (before editing) that I have written for the 16th issue of Vinimag which is currently getting published.
