Namaste from all at Rescue Junction
Everyone at the junction hopes this mail finds you well.
We have been very busy as usual here at the Junction with over 200 referrals this month.
They fell into the following categories,
Lost or separated from parents or guardians 18%
All successfully reunited within 24 hours
Trafficked children 27%
Protection care and rehabilitation going on
Referred by Police and law enforcement agencies 21%
Protection care and rehabilitation going on
Referred by peer group (other Children) 11%
Phone referrals 20%
Other 3%
After reassuring and counselling the children they will appear before the local child welfare committee which is chaired by an ex-People First Officer and held in Rescue Junction itself to determine what course of action is in the child’s best interests.
You can see from the above how your wonderful donations are working in a very real and direct way for the children. I would like you to kindly take a look at the video below which although not new gives a good indication of our work... its also in the links below.

May I also inform you about a very important new micro project on GlobalGiving whereby we would like to strengthen our action against traffickers and abusers and bring justice for the survivors. We can fund this whole programme for 5K dollars a year but any help no matter how small is most welcome. Help us catch the traffickers and ensure justice for the children
Our Covid related work is very much going on look out for a new appeal on GlobalGiving (if approved) shortly.
We hope that you and all your family are safe and well and as always, we send our heartfelt gratitude to you for your kindness and compassion.
In our next report we will hear from some of the children themselves.
With warm best Wishes,
Priyadarshini Gupta
