City Walk
September 14, 2011 in DMRC boys by iqbalswt
The Salaam Baalak Trust City Walk aims to make the story of the children of the street heard and to give us a view of their world through their eyes. Participants of City Walk get to go on a journey through the enchanting streets of the inner city of Paharganj and the area around New Delhi railway station, led by a child who was once living and working on the streets. This walk takes you on a journey through the backstreets of Delhi with a child who has been fully trained as a local guide. It’s a unique way of providing an insight into the lives of these children and an opportunity for them to improve their communication and speaking skills.
The confidence and witty smiles of these guides have little trace of the years spent on the streets of New Delhi. The past is however, very much present on the Walk. For the guides, it is a walk down the memory lane, the places held dear to them and how they faced the odds to survive to be where they stand proudly today. Whether your guide is Iqbal,Tariq,Tabrez, Satender,and Ajay or any other City Walk Guide, feel free to question and learn as much as you can of life on the streets. And you might realize, as you walk along, that the distance you covered was much greater than that between the New Delhi Railway Station and the SBT office.
So come, join us to take a walk in the back alleys of Delhi. Be careful though. Dreams have a way of rubbing off!

Rajender singing
November 19, 2010 in DMRC boys by volunteer
This is really some good news for SBT kids living in one of SBT’s shelter homes – especially for those interested in music. One of the rooms has been converted into a fancy Sound School. This gives many kids the opportunity to experience music and instruments.
One of the boys – Rajender – is fascinated by singing. He took the chance to teach other kids singing. Rajender himself wants to become a professional singer in future. Check out his video to see his talent.

My Story – AFTAB
November 3, 2010 in stories by aftab alam
Spending my childhood in a north Indian village it was more than two years ago when I took the train to Delhi and came to a contact point for street children at the New Delhi Railway Station. As it became clear that I would stay for longer I took the chance to stay in one of Salaam Baalak’s shelter homes – Alman Center. At this time I was 13 years old.

When I was young I lived in a village called Giana in the north of India together with my family. At the age of seven I went to Delhi together with my family. Here, I started studying at the Mada Dersa, a school for families with Muslim religion.
