We're asking for YOUR help, around 3 minutes of your time ☺
TYPF is trying to raise funds as well as raise the profile of the work that we do – and we’re in a competition where we need people to account for what we do – and why it’s important plus your experiences with us. Your feedback will also help us improve our work!
It doesn’t take long at all – if you have got a minute – could you go to http://greatnonprofits.org/reviews/write/1530447 and write something for us?
GreatNonprofits, Little India, and GuideStar have teamed up to launch the 2009 InDiya Shine Awards to recognize the top-rated nonprofits that are making a difference in India or within the Indian community abroad.
During this festival period, organizations with the most positive reviews will be announced winners. There will be 3 winners in each of 3 budget categories (Small, Medium, Large).
What do winners get? Winners will be featured on Greatnonprofits.org and Guidestar.org, the premier site for philanthropic research on the Web. There will also be a special feature on the contest and the winners in Little India – the largest overseas Indian publication in the U.S., including special editorial content.
Just select in the form when asked that we are looking for the inDiya awards icon.

What Does Your Vote Want? Help Us Know!
The Right to Information Branch is a division of the The YP Foundation that develops young people’s engagement with legislative process and increases their awareness of laws and policies in India. We help young people apply the law more effectively to their daily lives.
The following link is to a survey where we are trying to learn more about what kind of accountability young people are looking for post elections, from the 2009 Government at national and local levels, as well as what they do and don’t understand about the system of voting.

The document is a word document and once filled, can be emailed back to theypfoundation@gmail.com. We appreciate your taking the time out to do this! (Should you do it ☺ )
Your responses will be used to design our Right to Information programme for young people (16 - 25 years) this year, so by participating you will effectively ensure we are designing an effective response, based on young people's needs.
Our current project is called ‘What Does Your Vote Want? - Exploring the RTI Act’. We aim to generate awareness on how young people can utilize the act, as well as how it can be made more accessible to young people. By incorporating the inputs of key stakeholders, experts, and the youth, The YP Foundation will help young people in Delhi file RTI Applications and create a more regular dialogue with the government, promoting the concept of active citizenship and accountability amongst young people and the government.

“My Eid is Peace. Wherever there is peace, there is Eid for me. In Arabic, Eid means happiness that comes again and again. What gives us greater happiness than peace for humanity, that is irrespective of the religion you identify with? Peace that celebrates diversity, that is my Eid.”
