Help Schools In India Brightening the future of children, one school at a time.
India is among 4 developing nations with more than 23 million children not attending schools Brightening the future of children, one school at a time.
Many of the schools lack even the basic supplies like books, desks, and writing utensils. This is not a proper learning environment for the children of India. Brightening the future of children, one school at a time.
The poorer regions of India lack bathrooms for the children and also lack a proper instructor. Without this, how can one expect children to learn, prosper, and grow as human beings. Brightening the future of children, one school at a time.
These children NEED our help. We alone can brighten their future by providing them a better education. Brightening the future of children, one school at a time.
This is the idea behind the India School Help Fund. We at Vibha Youth are planning to choose a school in India and plan on raising money to help this school prosper and grow into a proper learning environment for children. This effort can be reciprocated by other Vibha Youth groups around the world. Brightening the future of children, one school at a time.
Helping Schools in India Attract volunteers Locate a school in India incapacitated with deprivation of resources Help the school financially Organize a fundraiser Hold a contest (I.e. cricket match) to help raise money for the school “DREAM A LITTLE. DO A LITTLE.”
THE END “DREAM A LITTLE. DO A LITTLE.”
