What if ! The kid never had a father I want my kid to be more successful than i am - a father
description
We walk up to all kinds of places in India, collect 100 kids and help them build a hypercool library of their own using just a wall - and so we call this a Wall O Books - equip it with a startup stash of 100 books, a world map, a light bulb and a few more things :) and elect a little librarian to take care of it. So far, we have build 100 Wall O Books in Kolkata, India with a vision to create 2900 libraries in all states of India covering over 30000 vulnerable children. And then we take one child and connect her to another child in another part of the country using just a postcard, magically. If you want to participate in this journey visit - www.wallobooks.org

I am driven by the idea of opening a windowto the world for India's vulnerable children.
I became social entrepreneur and joinedSanjukt to create a brave program that hasthe potential to power a million littledreams.
When a kid myself i dreamt of having a room
full of books, wall to wall when i grew up.
Wall of books is a dream come true not only
for the kids we work with but also for me.

If it takes two days to build one Wall OBooks, how many days would it take tobuild 100? 200 days? 50 days?We got you. It takes just 2 days. But you have to discover how.
In October 2013, Sanjukt K. Saha – an IIT graduate and Swastika Gurung – a
young social entrepreneur, started a journey to disrupt how millions of children
from low income group families in India learn, express & find hope.
Today an amazing team – Men and women. Engineers and MBAs. Young and
Old. Are breaking some walls for the world out of India.
