Nations Online Volunteering services having its project in Baroda and Pune (India) working
towards the well-being of underprivileged children by integrating arts and technology. Some

these children self-confident and esteemed individuals. Volunteers from different corners of

Nikita Mane 7th standard, Mahadji Shinde High School, Pune

“I feel very peaceful after learning karate. Our
teacher is a very amazing person and karate
benefits us and gives us the physical exercise
we need. Karate also helps us develop a
better memory and helps us become more
flexible. There are so many benefits of karate.”

Expert Speaks about the Project:

Sensi Pervez Mistry with Founder Anand Koti

Sensi Pervez Mistry is considered to be the father of martial arts in India. He has been the
Chief Instructor for the International Okinawa Goju-RyuKarate-do Federation in India for
the past 46 years and is the founder of Karate-do in India.

“Karate is generally perceived as a destructive sport. This is a misconception. In fact, the
reverse is true. With karate, we can work towards improving health. A willingness and
desire to be a better person is developed and self-confidence is built while ego is dampened.
When Anand met me a few years ago, he was worried whether or not we would be able to
manage the program. I was confident from day one that he would succeed. He has
struggled and faced hurdles, but he has conquered all of them, in part from the confidence
he has gained from martial arts training.”

Benefits of ‘Colors of Life’:

Akash Sakat 10th Grade, Mahadji Shinde High School, Pune
“Upon joining Colors of Life, I came to
know another side of myself. Colors of
Life is an institution that fosters
confidence in children. While working
with the program, I faced many
challenges but through working with
Colors of Life, I learned to overcome
them. I was surprised to see how much
I could achieve. Now I feel confident
that I can do anything as long as I have
the passion for it. I developed an
interest in education and difficult
subjects seem easier. I feel happy to know that I made a difference for myself.”

Small Steps Leads to Big Changes:

We are grateful to everyone who can help us reach our goal to strengthen the vulnerable
sections of society, those persons who lead unfulfilled lives due to inaccessible or unavailable
education and rehabilitation, as well as due to societal ostracism. We believe that change in
society can be achieved by breaking the cycle of poverty.
