Our mission is to encourage leadership and foster skills and talents amongst individuals by engaging them in activities, guided by an underlying principle: Learn, Earn, Return
At the age of 12, moved by an infomercial for a charity, Sean Lamba was unable to fathom the reasons why some children in the world had no food, basic healthcare or access to education. He knew that although all people around the world were fundamentally the same, impoverished youth simply lacked similar opportunities he had for a better future. Inspired to make a difference, but unsure how to tackle such an immense endeavor, he envisioned that his life would one day revolve around fostering social change that would collectively impact humanity.
In 2007, he started his first ever entrepreneurial venture - a financial services company that allowed him to live in and out of India for a year and work with the nation's premier bank. Moreover, although Sean was actively working to develop an educational product that promoted financial literacy for students, his goal was to generate enough income to fund his own humanitarian mission and pursue his childhood dream. As a result, he simultaneously began devising the plan for his future charitable initiative.
Throughout his journey, he endured some of the happiest and most rewarding moments of his life but also, some of his saddest and most challenging times as well. Sean's Father was diagnosed with a rare form of Dementia - a neuro-degenerative disease that caused him to rapidly lose his ability to walk, talk and even smile. With his Father's declining health, and time and resources quickly running out for the start-up, Sean knew he had to return home to his family. As he slowly came to terms with these arduous circumstances, he was inspired to stop pursuing his for-profit venture and reassess his path. Soon enough, he decided to start the charity because all he ever hoped for was for his Dad to see, and be a part of his son's ultimate dream in life.
Imagine providing someone the opportunity to learn something new, earn something out of it (whether it is monetary, tools, experience, etc.) and then leading and empowering that same individual to return the knowledge and skills that they acquired by teaching someone else. Well, this is the beauty and power behind the Everyday Child initiative - it fosters an everlasting cycle of education.
Our organization's curriculum will entail various activities that pertain to 3 themes: Creative Arts, Health & Fitness and Go Green. Click on an example below to learn how we will apply our Learn, Earn, Return motto.
All children in this world, irrespective of their location or circumstances, all tend to share a similar approach to life - the following list may go on but if the majority of these beliefs are shared by yourself, YOU too, are an everyday child!
I believe if we all shed the same color of blood, breathe the same breath of air and cry the same color of tears, we must be the same despite the difference in our appearances
I believe in living each of life to the fullest
I believe learning can be really fun
I believe there is no such thing as a bad question
I believe it is okay to take risks
I believe dreams do come true
I believe dreams do come true
In 2011, we went to India and received approval from the National Congress Party to build our very first Learning Centre in Mannu Bhai Chawl (top right) an impoverished community located in Chandivali, Powai, Mumbai.
To celebrate our partnership with the community, we decided to host a major clean-up drive – check out the pictures from our Give a Helping Hand event.
In 2012, we are aiming to raise a total of $150,000 to develop and sustain (1 year) our very first Learning Centre.
$50,000 will be derived from fundraisers and we use 100% of all public donations to directly fund the Learning Centre.
$100,000 will be used to support our operational costs but we rely on private donors, foundations and sponsors to cover this – amazing, right?
Our organization's curriculum will revolve around 3 specific themes: Creative Arts, Health & Fitness, and Go Green. The first month of the program begins with Creative Arts and we focus on 2 specific activities related to this theme.
More important, we apply our Learn, Earn, Return model throughout the course of the month. The second month's activities pertains to Health & Fitness and the third is more environmentally friendly, hence the name Go Green. Thereafter, the cycle starts again with Creative Arts.
Each theme's activities will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2011. Check back soon for further details or sign up for our Newsletter and we'll notify you right away!
Our commitment to YOU…
We depend on private donors, foundations and sponsors to cover all administrative costs
These donors fuel our long-term mission, our ability to scale as an organization and our goal to continue using 100% of public donations to fund our Learning Center initiatives.
we must become the change we want to see in this world

Remember, donations don't always need to equate to money. Think about it – why not devote a few hours of your time and donate your skills, knowledge, experience, etc.
Here's how YOU can get involved…once our Learning Centre is developed, we're going to launch our online platform that will people to take part in our activities. We plan on hosting live video-streams via the Internet which means no matter where you are in this world, you'll have the opportunity to help us serve the youth from these impoverished communities.
Moreover, you will be displayed on the projector screen of the Learning Centre and our team will provide the youth the necessary tools to engage them into a practical experience. Even if it's not live, you'll still be able to upload pre-recorded content – our team will work with you directly and provide the necessary support to coordinate the details.
In the beginning, our program will entail activities that pertain to Creative Arts, Health & Fitness and Go Green (community/environment-based). Some examples of how you can donate your time may include teaching the youth how to use a camera, explaining the importance of preventative oral care, or showing them how to build a homemade compost - learn more.
