NGO Type 2

I would say a majority of NGO's today focus on the problems and exploitations of the marginalized. Right? Are we forgetting the elephant in the room? What are the majority of 10-22 year olds learning today? Isn't television a religion? And what do you have on television? Are they really exposed to life or to living? Are we forgetting to talk to them? I think so. This is a major problem. A major social disaster. There is a lot to be learnt from the grassroots. We need a sort of revival of the grassroots. Centre-stage, lights, camera, action. This is what needs to be focussed on. Their lives, their stories, their experiences. Beyond all this their happiness needs to be in the spotlight. Not f-kin Kambakht Ishq, not the latest developments in hair-treatment, not Paris Hilton. No no no, nein no not!
