Future Hope Nederland

Stichting Future Hope Nederland werft sinds 1993 fondsen voor de dagelijkse onkosten van Future Hope in India.

Future Hope biedt opvang en opleiding aan honderden kwetsbare kinderen die op straat of in de armste sloppenwijken van Kolkata, in India overleven.  Dit zijn kinderen die voortdurend blootgesteld zijn aan alle vormen van geweld, misdaden, ziektes, verslaving en kinderarbeid.

Artificial Intelligence vs Human Touch - Annual House Drama Competition

It took months of research on deepfakes, voice cloning, overseas university scams and the latest in artificial intelligence. Building props, writing scripts, rehearsals and staging were carried out with huge commitment. And the the result were four brilliant productions in our annual "Katie Baddeley" drama competition.

The theme of "Artificial Intelligence Vs Human Touch" was testing. But the children of Future Hope rose to the challenge. "Seldom I have seen such intense and varied depictions on stage," said Kaushik Dutta, one of the judges.

At the end of the four performances the din of 600 claps resonated the Mahadevi Birla World Academy auditorium acknowleding the tremendous effort put up by the children. And after a tense wait, the winning house was Panthers.

Well done all, front of house, back stage, house captains and every performer, super job!

Future Hope is growing - with the team and children of Khelo Rugby becoming part of the family.  

Khelo Rugby is all about being in the community - playing rugby, which we all love - but also supporting children as they grow up with school and college education, or communication classes.

Working with nearly 2,000 children in 32 communities in Kolkata, a few hundred in the Saraswatipur tea gardens in North Bengal, Haripur in Jharkhand and Bangalore, we are excited to get to know more about them and bring our 35 years experience of creating opportunity to the young lives of the super children of Khelo Rugby. 

There is much to be done, but with our joint experience we hope to brighten futures for many more children.
