Dear Patrons,
We are so glad and excited to share with you that with the funds
raised in the Indian financial year 2016-17 through GlobalGiving,
we have procured several infrastructure items for the Isha Vidhya
schools, one of which is the classroom built for the 6th grade
in the Dharmapuri Isha Vidhya school!
This classroom can accommodate 40 students, while currently
being used by 33 students. The classroom is capable of a
functioning for 40 years, thus can educate 1600 students by the
end of its tenure! We are attaching the photos of the class room!
Shares Rahul, who is a student who studies in this classroom:
"I am feeling very happy sitting in the new classroom, I am very
excited as we are the first batch and the classroom is very bright
when compared to previous one. We are also getting a lot of air
as the classroom is on the second floor and it keeps us very fresh
throughout the air.
This year, I am very excited to learn about the computers and using
it, I learn HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and how to use it to
create our own web page. I love to spend my time on MS logo creator
through which I can create my own design through commands.
We are also asked to create a photo story in which I can narrate the
story in my own voice and it’s really interesting as it provokes the
thinking capability beyond my thinking."
We are so happy that funds raised through Global Giving are
educating children across several Isha Vidhya schools!
April 3rd to April 7th Little-by-Little campaign
Between April 3rd to 7th, Global Giving will be matching all
new recurring donations by 200% if they are continued
for a minimum of 4 months! That means if you donate $50,
Global Giving will be putting in $100, and Isha Vidhya will be
getting $150!
Non-recurring donations will be matched 50%, that means if
you donate $50, GlobalGiving will be putting in $25, thus
Isha Vidhya will be getting $75!
An appeal
We appeal to those who have not made a recurring donation
to start a recurring donation so that Isha Vidhya get a 200%
match benefit!
If you cannot start a recurring donation, you could do a one-time
regular donation to Isha Vidhya.
