She emphasised that education is the true force that nurtures self-reliance in children and guides them towards a purposeful and progressive life.

"The aim was to promote awareness about education and mobilising resources. Udaan Skills Foundation has organised book fairs, special classes and coaching for English proficiency for the children. We make books available at highly affordable prices, thereby encouraging a culture of reading among people from all walks of life and not just the kids," said Jenny. "I believe that these kids, some of whom work as helpers and daily wagers, must be given an opportunity to change their lives through education. Udaan is an attempt to highlight the transformative power of education,” she said.
