Sana Khan set up the Rahat Foundation on 26 February
2010 and during the 14 years of its existence in the states of Uttar Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, and Maharashtra it helps women school dropouts.
Sitting in her modest office in Jasola village in
south east Delhi, Sana Khan, 47, told Awaz-the Voice that presently her most
important project is about getting the school dropouts to complete their
education. She gets such women admitted to the Jamia's open school of National
Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS).
Sana Khan says believes that the right to education is
universal and with this thought she has so far rehabilitated 2,000 dropout
children back into the educational mainstream.
Sana Khan not only sends the dropouts back to school
but also takes the responsibility of imparting them skills and ensuring their
job placements.
Her NGO teaches courses like digital marketing,
fashion designing, etc. Interestingly, Rahat Foundation also managed to train
256 women drivers and helped them get licenses to drive.
Sana Khan says so far her NGO has employed about 10
thousand young men and women. They had acquired different skills at the classes
of the Rahat Foundation.
Of these, 6000 did learn digital marketing, and 4000
fashion designing . Sana Khan says she contacted the fashion designing industry
located in Okhla Phase 2 in Delhi, while the digital marketing trainees gots
jobs in the IT sector, call centers, Swiggy, Zomato, Ola, etc.
She also remains in touch with the companies where she
enrolls the skilled young men and women of the Rahat Foundation for jobs.
Kna Khan said, "My father died when I was in my
8th class. I was 13 years old. I had two elder brothers and a mother in my
house. I can't even describe the financial difficulties we faced at that time.
One day a person from an NGO touched our lives and everything started
changing."
"Back then I got support and today I am at the
stage where I have created a successful world of my own. I always try to help
others, " she says.
Rahat Foundation takes utmost care of all their
beneficiaries. It arranges their exam fees, books, etc. The NGO does occasional
fundraising to meet its expenses.
Sana Khan says she is careful in checking the
genuineness of the beneficiery. She says there is a strict system of checking
and whetting of a potential beneficiery. Rahat Foundation takens both boys and
girls under its wings, she said.
Sana Khan has 70 people in her team who are divided
into groups to form sub-units and working at the grass root in Uttar Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, Maharashtra.
Sana Khan said that soon Rahat Foundation will set up
its centers in Bangalore, Karnataka.
Sana Khan says that from time to time she organizes
camps in which awareness about education is spread in society. So far, she has
set up 500 to 600 campuses under the banner of Rahat Foundation.
Going down memory lane, Sana Khan said that when she
did a mass communication course from South Delhi Polytechnic, New Delhi in
2010, she also worked with the Sahara group of publications.
"However, while working with the newspaper, my
wish to help the needy kept over powering my mind and ultimately, I had laid
the foundation of Rahat Foundation."
Sana Khan says that today her NGO is well-known for
its work and people do recognise her work. She said she received immense support
from society during the Covid-19 pandemic when Rahat Foundation distributed
blankets and dry rations to the people. It also ditributed school bags for
children to keep their hopes alibe and essential medicines during that
difficult phase.
Recently Sana Khan was honoured in Dubai, the UAE. She
had already received several awards and honours from companies and forums in
Bengaluru, and Delhi.

Thai Politician, Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh, Caught Having
An Affair With Adopted Son - A Monk

A female politician in Thailand has been the subject
of debate on social media after reports said she had an affair with her adopted
son. According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), 45-year-old Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh
was caught in bed with 24-year-old Phra Maha who is also monk. The female
politician was caught by her husband, identified by the outlet as Ti, who drove
for five hours and caught the woman red-handed. Choeiwadkoh's was suspicious of
her relationship with the monk and devised a plan to catch them.
The couple adopted Phra Maha last year from a temple
after Choeiwadkoh said she felt sorry for him. The monk is now on the run, as
per the SCMP report.
The news has shocked social media users in Thailand
and some neighbouring countries.
"This news is explosive, with too many elements.
It sounds like pure fiction. The world of the wealthy is indeed fascinating and
chaotic," it quoted one user as saying on X.
"A 64-year-old husband, a 45-year-old wife, and a
24-year-old adopted son who is a monk? This is such a mess. It sounds more like
keeping a boy-toy rather than adoption. Even dramas don't dare to script
this," said another.
A video of the Thai politician has also surfaced on
various social media platforms that reports say was recorded by Ti.
In the video, the man purportedly asks Choeiwadkoh
"Are you two happy?" His wife defended herself, claiming they had not
had sex and were only chatting.
Phra also defended his innocence as per SCMP, saying:
"Nothing happened."
Choeiwadkoh is a popular politician from Sukhothai, a
province in central Thailand. She currently serves as the president of a local
chamber of commerce and has been a member of the Democrat Party since March
last year.
She has been suspended by the party pending an
investigation into the scandal.

Zakia Wardak, Afghan diplomat, caught smuggling 25kg
of gold at Mumbai Airport
May 4, 2024
Indian media has reported that Zakia Wardak, a
diplomat and consul general of Afghanistan in Mumbai, India, was detained at
the city’s airport while smuggling 25 kilograms of gold.
According to “Times of India,” the incident occurred
on Saturday, May 3rd when Ms Wardak was attempting to smuggle the gold from
Dubai to India in a concealed manner.
The media has valued this amount of gold at 18.6 crore
Indian rupees. One crore Indian rupees is equal to 10 million or 100 lakh.
It is reported that MsWardak’s case has been
registered as a “gold smuggling case,” but she is not currently under arrest
due to diplomatic immunity.
“Times of India” reported, citing its source, that if
the value of the gold exceeds one billion Indian rupees, the suspect will be
detained and prosecuted.
The media quoted Zakia Wardak as saying, “I am
surprised by these allegations, while I am facing personal challenges and at
the same time have to support the Embassy of Afghanistan in India.”
It is said that this amount of gold was found on Ms.
Wardak’s person at Mumbai airport, which she had concealed in her clothing.
According to the report, she was accompanied by her young son on this trip, but
her child had no role in the matter.
According to this report, Ms. Wardak did not present
any documents for transporting this amount of gold to the Indian government.
Indian authorities have said that she may be the first diplomat from a foreign
country to be prosecuted for gold smuggling.
Zakia Wardak was appointed consul general in Mumbai
during the previous government and remained in her position even after the
Afghan embassy in India closed. Although India has not officially recognized
the Taliban administration, diplomatic communications are now taking place in
Kabul.
According to a report obtained by Khaama Press, she
has resigned from her position at the consulate, effective today.
