Hi Ravi,

you are missing a few fields. It would make your entry much stronger if you filled them out. Also, could you make the connection between your SMS campaign and self-employment a little bit clearer?

Good luck!

Hi Ravi,

Really neat initiative. Is this someting that you started? How do you reach out to the youth and get them involved? How is your program sustained financially? I too, would love to see you complete some of the fields and explain your work more completely. I think it is very interesting.

Do you have partnerships with local schools or mobile phone companies? How do the logitics work?

I encourage you to check out the winning entry from India that came into our Young Men at Risk competition: http://changemakers.net/en-us/node/3609. The Alternative Realities program is all about helping the young and homeless get off the streets, feel empowered, find work and education. Maybe you could work together!

Best of luck to you.

Hey Ravi,

You mentioned that you think the youth themselves might be an obstacle in terms of their perspective. Have you thought about how you will deal with that potential problem? Are you working with any orgs to provide training to the youth to address those potential obstacles?

Thanks and great work,
