SMILE -Society [Situational Management & Inter-Learning Establishment Society]'s Mission Statement: SMILE Society [registered NGO and member of CCIVS (UNESCO) & WANGO] was established on 31st.August 2003 by it's Founder & President 'Mr. Debabrata Chakraborty' [Deba]. SMILE's main purpose is to "Bring a smile to all the Kids" around the world. The children who cannot eat properly, cannot go to school, have to beg money & food every day on the street, have lost their parents or have nobody to support them, children who cannot live their life because of the essential requirements of human beings, We Like To Support Them. "SMILE" is trying to provide Love, Support, minimum Education & minimum requirements to Live and Study to the children in such stage. At the same time "SMILE" gives all the Volunteers the Opportunity to work with the needy children in the developing countries like India. So that they can also realize the actual picture of the children who are in need. "Happy Home Project" We have our own "Happy Home's first ,second & third centres are located in Kolkata(Calcutta) with our SMILE's kids from Slum & Street. We are trying provide them everything like food, clothing, education and planning to give them permanent night shelter very near future. We are looking for the long term volunteers to work with our children directly. All these children that we have at present are up to 13 yrs. old and they need real love and attachment from our volunteers. Our dream is to establish a free school & vocational training center for our "Happy Home" in near future. We like to build a person with more confidence & knowledge. It is our dream to make a man with soft feelings about other children too. Today's children will be tomorrow's Father/Mother. We believe that good children can make the good society and also the better world to live in.
