Over  Stichting  SIVA for KIDS
Stichting Siva for Kids is een politiek en religieus onafhankelijke organisatie die zowel voorziet in noodhulp als in ontwikkelingshulp op lange termijn door middel van samenwerking met lokale bewoners, overheidsinstellingen en internationale organisaties. Het doel van Siva for Kids is het bieden van actieve hulp aan kinderen zonder onderscheid te maken naar ras, godsdienst, politiek, cultuur of geslacht. Daartoe ontwikkelen en verwezenlijken de organisaties projecten om de levensomstandigheden van kinderen in hun eigen omgeving (met inbegrip van families en gemeenschappen) te verbeteren. Het Verdrag voor de Rechten van het Kind vormt het conceptuele kader voor de activiteiten van Siva for Kids.
Stichting Siva for Kids streeft ernaar om positieve veranderingen te brengen in het leven van kinderen door hen en hun omgeving te helpen en te stimuleren met activiteiten en projecten.

Anderhalf jaar geleden is de stichting “SIVA4KIDS.org” opgericht en gestart met verschillende inmiddels zeer succesvolle projecten voor kansarme kinderen. Met uw hulp, donaties en vrijwillige inzet heeft “SIVA4KIDS.org” bijvoorbeeld de wederopbouw van een school voor 722 kinderen mogelijk gemaakt die in 2004 ernstig door de natuurramp Tsunami getroffen werd.

MUSIC for KIDS
Nu bundelen wij opnieuw onze krachten door een project te organiseren met als doel 25 straatkinderen in India een betere toekomst te bieden. Deze kinderen worden 2 jaar lang begeleid, tevens krijgen ze verschillende opleidingen aangeboden, zodat ze na deze periode van 2 jaar zelfstandig in hun levensonderhoud zullen kunnen voorzien.

Om dit alles mogelijk te maken hebben een aantal internationale artiesten hun muzikale talenten verzameld in de vorm van een geweldig album met 20 tracks vol passie. De stichting garandeert u dat de volledige ombrengst van dit initiatief gebruikt zal worden om onze projecten (zoals hierboven nader genoemd) te ondersteunen.

BOMBAY ROCKERS
