If you go to India - like I do every winter - you see homeless children everywhere. In Mumbai as well as in small "big" cities like Mapusa and Panjim (Goa). And to me the number of kids begging for food and money on the street must by far exceed the 2 lakh mentioned in the ad.

I like the execution though - the whole idea is strong.
But I question its effectiveness, since, as mentioned above, homeless kids is unfortunately a very common sight. And only tourists seem concerned about their well being.

My wife and I have been so overwhelmed by the abandoned kids we've seen on our trips to India that we now sponsor a kid who used to live on the streets.

I strongly recommend you to do the same - 15 USD a month is all you need to pay to make life better for one kid.

Can you afford it?

Peace

Sails-
seriously? more than over 200,000 homeless children? that sounds like a crisis and i should think a bigger push would be made to get the message out.
i like the creative, but come on, that many homeless street kids deserves more!

Its a good concept, but I wonder if coffee shops, cafes etc are good places for this media?

Hate to be cynical but people will just switch off and try to enjoy their food/coffee, and by the time they are done will have forgotten this.

Its a good idea but needs to be better placed.

lol - at least when you're posting it here, you could translate "lakh" into proper English :D
btw, it's sure great creative, but how many people would notice it?

Awesome...very powerful. I think the same can be stretched across a lot of ambient to create more impact.

Suddenly, nobody (including myself) even uses the word "intrusive" or "gimmicky".
Because of the subject matter, maybe?
I've seen a fair amount of table tent ads, but nothing as impactful as this piece.
It IS an awarenes ad. But when the problem is so commonplace that it's all around you, is the device effective?
Pretty creative work, nonetheless. Worth getting "favorited."

why not build a life size one. Or make a community for children. I would.
