Running to Raise Funds for the Underprivileged Children's Education

Hi, How are you doing today? 

I have a long story to tell you why I am running to raise funds for poor children's education. I know you are busy. So, I am going to make it short for you.

Why am I running to raise funds? - To pay it forward. 
Huh? -Yes. 

The Story:

MOTHER:

My mom was 2yrs old when her father passed away. Her mother was illiterate and was very young. So, she was sent to an orphanage. She grew up in an orphanage. She was a bright student. She learned to cope with the difficulties of life inside the orphanage as well as outside. She is now 78yrs old and retired as a Senior Supervisor from the Dept. of Telecom. I am so proud to have raised by such an inspiring Mother. 

FATHER:

My late father lost his father when he was 4yrs old. His father was killed by his friends for money. He had to get the help of his relatives to go to school. He didn't have clothes other than a loincloth to cover himself. His teachers and relatives helped him to complete his studies. He retired as a Deputy Director of the Ministry of Planning. I am sad that I failed to understand his value while he was alive. Not a day passes without feeling grateful for all that he has done for me and for my siblings. He was a MAN OF PRINCIPLES.

Both my parents worked hard to give me and my siblings a good quality education and a very decent livelihood.

Now you know the effect of education. In a way, I feel that I am indebted to the society. I have always helped poor children whenever possible and I am still doing. I would also like to get some help from friends like you, who can join hands with me to raise funds. 

Who Am I Running For?


I have visited Isha Vidya Matriculation School, Villupuram and experienced the ambiance of the school, simple and effective teaching methods for these rural kids, student's enthusiasm in learning et al. Now I know that they are getting a good quality education and being taught (and cared) by teachers who treat their students as their own children. I have never seen, in any school, such love and respect between the teacher and the students. Future is safe in the hands of these children.I pray none of these students drop out of this school for any reasons.


I also visited some of the Parents of the students. The moment I saw their home, I knew that these kid's education is going to improve their standard of living. And it is my responsibility to lend a helping hand to the Isha Foundation to continue doing what they are doing - giving good quality education in a good environment to the underprivileged children. How can I forget that my Parents were once one among them? 



Can You Help?

You can help too. Please join me, if you can. All you need to do is to click on the below link and donate as much as you can. Your money is going to provide food (noon-meal/lunch), cloth, and education to those kids who don't even have a roof over their heads that can keep them safe from sunlight and rains. I request you to join with me to do our best to help these kids to get a decent life at least after a few years of their studies. 

These kids have a very long way to go to have a nice place to live, eat good food and wear nice clothes.    


Thank you so much for helping the likes of my Parents.


Luv u all
