[Reader-list] Inviting Support for Jalebi Ink: Media for Young People

[Chandni Parekh]

Excerpts from http://is.gd/fohHJ -

 
Jalebi  Ink is an independent content space for young people where they talk  
about, report and write on their world, their news, issues that matter to them.  
We promote the right of young people to be heard. We have expertise in  the 
conceptualization and production of media by and for young people  across 
multiple platforms, including online, television, radio, print  and publishing. 

Recently, one of our citizen journalism projects – This Used To Be My Playground 
(a project to map disappearing play spaces in urban areas) -- was shortlisted 
for the prestigious 2010 Knights Challenge Award. 


 
I am sending you some links to Jalebi Ink’s ongoing projects. 

Best wishes,

We are currently looking for partners/sponsors/funds/coprorate tie-ups for the 
following: 


1. The Jalebi Ink website. Ads, sponsors etc. There's a whole lot of sections 
that are sponsor-friendly. 


2.We are also looking for all kinds of volunteers  - the most important are 
designers for our website and our newspaper. And people who will help us get 
funds and tie-ups. The latter will get paid on a commission basis. 


3.People/ organisations like Dell, Apple, Canon etc who will donate equipment 
like cameras, computers, laptops etc (used and new) for our projects.
 
SPONSORS, ADS and CORPORATE TIE-UPS ARE ALSO NEED FOR THE FOLLOWING JI PROJECTS


1. EarthTalk: Our monthly newsmagazine on the environment produced entirely by 
children and young people. 

Our future plans include creating an online presence for EarthTalk  including 
video and audio clips. The newspaper will be distributed  through newsstands, 
bookstores, clubs etc and through subscriptions.  
We will be partnering with Dharavi's ACORN  Foundation to help child ragpickers 
in the area bring out a newspaper  about their issues. 


 4. My Mohalla: Community Portraits & Stories:  Children will research the 
visual, oral, and written records of their  own communities for stories and 
images to share with others. 

This is our most critically acclaimed project. We have had queries from  Prince 
of Wales Museum wanting to start the project at their premises.  We have had 
people like Cannes award-winning director Faiza Khan wanting  to document the 
project. Hindustan Times has called it "a living diary  for Mumbai by children".
