A desire to live, and a passion to roam. To take in the beauty all around and not miss out. Chances and believing are what I'm about. Like any other, no words can describe. A person given a chance, is here to thrive. -Yumna Khan 

I'm used to going by Yumna Khan. Still young with hopes all around. Blessed to be here and thankful for my life. In 9th and ready to move to 10th grade.  A normal person and true Texan at heart.

Sayani Majumder





Hi! This is Sayani Majumder from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Well about me all I can say is that I am a bit shy girl and love to gather any knowledge on any subject in any field, because human life is so short to accumulate knowledge on every subject. I love graphic designing and all other creative stuffs like this. I just wish my talent to be used for a good cause and TQ is giving me such an opportunity. That's why I am thankful to TQ...


Unity in Diversity:-

We three members of the team belonged to different places.
Yumna belongs to Texas, USA
Sayani belongs to  Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India
Sumaiya belongs to Jodhpur Rajasthan, no matter what so kind of diversification was there we all worked united.




How did we work?:-

First we had to decide our topic for this project, which we wanted to be a social problem. Finally we took the problem of the Elderly people, who are often neglected in our society.

Then came the time for research work. We divided this work among ourselves.
We chose to work on a blog because by using this form of digital media we can publish updated information. We always had a group discussion about which work is to be published, and we sorted out the works and went on publishing the final stuff. And side by side we kept on researching to update the blog.

Initially our aim was to win somehow, there after when we did deep research and got into the topic, interview people, met them, learned the true stories of life, then our main motive was to spread awareness regarding ELderly.

"WORK FOR A CAUSE NOT FOR APPLAUSE"  - this was our main motive and we gave our best to do do.


To give more meaning to our cause we conducted online polls and asked the people to give their opinions about this topic both online and offline. To expand our work further we took the help of social networking site, Facebook and also made a cause in causes.com . i.e. http://www.causes.com/causes/655601-help-the-elderly And at present we have 201 members in that cause.

The pics are self taken and are taken from many partt of Rajasthan, One of our team member went to many cities like Churu, Jhunjhunu, Nagaur, Jodhpur. and to many villages that lies under these districts. From house to house the member went ans took pic.


This is how we worked and will be working in the future too to eradicate the problem the old aged people face.


The Challenges we faced:-


In our opinion we cannot do a noble job without facing any challenge. Our road also wasn't very smooth. There came some points of time where our opinions didn't match with each other and sometimes were just opposite to each other. But keeping a team spirit we managed all the situations.

It is sometimes not easy to make the people give their opinion on what we want. We also faced different types of people. But we didn't lose hope and kept on working towards our goal.

To convince Elderly people was another big challenge, convincing them for interview, for pics it was difficult for us.
