| My request:
Break the cycle of poverty - Educate child and change a life today...
When I think about the fact that it was just a matter of chance that I am in a position to contribute to a child's education than to be in need of such a donation, I feel humbled and privileged to be a part of this endeavor. Please join me in making a lasting impact on a child's life.
I have always wanted to do at least a little in helping make education accessible to those who cannot afford it. "Isha Vidhya" has been committed to this goal. Help me raise funds for this initiative. Donate to this cause using the 'Donate' link on this page.
Today, there are more than 770 million illiterate people in the world, over 300 million children who are not enrolled in school, and hundreds of millions more lack access to books and libraries. Ninety-eight percent of these children live in developing countries, where extreme poverty prevents them from gaining an education.
You will see just how much joy and hope and lasting change your scholarship gift will bring to a child or family living in poverty.
Cause:
Full scholarship for 5 students ($240 per child)
Sponsoring a student represents a unique way to dramatically touch the life of a child. Each sponsor is matched with a student(s) and encouraged to donate yearly for the child's full education at Isha Vidhya. Sponsors receive regular updates on the student's progress, including letters from the student, photos, and academic progress reports. The school facilitates correspondences between the sponsors and students, and sponsors are welcome to visit their student at school, act as a mentor, and watch as the child grows and blossoms. The scholarship donation amount of (Rs 10000/USD 240/GBP 150) provides tuition, books, notebooks and nutritional health supplements for the scholarship student.
No donation is too small (or too big!) to participate. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
